The idea of live blogging has never really appealed as writing is generally better when the author thinks about it for a while (there are exceptions of course) but we will attempt to live blog the walk tomorrow<\/a> in this space as it possibly has some locative application. I’ll use my mobile device to update when we’ve crossed major streets along Queen — Landsdown, Dufferine, Dovercourt, etc. — those who can’t make the beginning will be able to either check at home or from their mobile device and possibly catch up.<\/p>\n

It may not work. My device may run out of gas or some other technical glitch may come up. And even these updates might not make us “findable.” It also won’t be a pretty post, as I’ll remove the picture (loading even the simplest page tends to be costly in Canada, a country with some of the highest data prices on the planet that will likely be the biggest expense in this very cheap event) and the formatting might not be so elegant.<\/p>\n

2:14 heading out with a nice group. hot. should have made this walk to the beach.<\/p>\n

2:36 dufferine<\/p>\n

2:55 trinity bellwoods<\/p>\n

3:31 we go to the civic washrooms at the Bay at yonge.<\/p>\n

4:17 don. moving fast. east looks like it is on fire. smoke billowing from broadview?<\/p>\n

5:58 we lay in the sun on the grass of the filtration plant. we see the blue scarborough streetsigns. it is like a psychogeographic beer commercial and it’s miller time. fancy beaches designer dogs stand in for the usual beer commercial girls in bikinis. etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
