Saturday Report

After green_trilobite's check-up on the Danforth, we went back downtown, did some shopping, had lunch on a patio, got passport photos (we're not going anywhere, I just decided a few weeks back that since neither of us drives, we need some indisputable pieces of ID to save time and argument); then we went to hang out at the Comics Lounge, which yesterday was surrounded by the Taste of Little Italy street festival; for several blocks, all transit except by foot was shut down - and with the crowds, walking was pretty slow. Apparently Joe had had to fight the restaurant downstairs to even keep an access route open to his door. Once there, green_trilobite crashed on the sofa for most of the rest of the day, while I made it my base of operations for a trip to Dome Fabrics and later, to Starbucks for drinks and wi-fi. There were several dogs at the Lounge with there owners. There were a couple of women in costume, and I sketched them on my new-to-me iPad. I noted that if someone is wearing a tight dress and eating, every pose and gesture she does automatically looks like a pin-up (I had to clean up my sketch in photoshop when I got home, though - my drawing app couldn't do fine lines).
