May 2011
Spent a hungover Saturday afternoon at Lil Biz, the yearly small business seminar put on by Pop Montreal. There were great workshops on accounting and taxes for artists, diy publicity and marketing, photographing your work, and grant programs. Picked up lots of tips (and a free Daniel Clowes book).
Sarah and John’s engagement party. A night of fancy dress, finger foods, champagne toasts, baby transfers, and lots of love. Congrats you two! <3

Time-lapses make me so happy. We all look so cute zipping around the shop, installing a rack a minute, it almost make me forget that this is 12 hours of work compressed into a 5 minute video.
So cool to see the store being built! Way to go ladies! The racks are looking great. Also, nice karate at the end :)

probably. my old roommate saw a fox in pointe st charles last year! i’ve never seen a fox in my life.
Yeah, I saw my first Montreal raccoon earlier this year. It feels like more of a suburban thing.

i think marmots and groundhogs are the same thing. i dunno about prairie dogs?
Huh. All I know is it looked like the Alan! Alan! Alan! guy from the BBC. Except it wasn’t standing on its hind legs like in all the pictures of marmots/groundhogs/prairie dogs. I was surprised to see it in St. Henri. Maybe...

It’s a ground hog!!!!
Haha ok! Only because you’re so sure and I want it to be true.

isn’t that a marmot?
Could be! I’m still unclear on the differences between marmots/groundhogs/prairie dogs…Google image search isn’t helping.

Looks somewhat like a beaver, no?
Yeah, except for the tail.

Have the film, now waiting for a spare 620 spool to come in the mail so I can respool the film to fit the camera. Was just playing around with the viewfinder the other night when I took this.

Citizen Q & A with Tessa Smith: Part 2
citizenvintage:
Which trend would you like to see make a comeback this year?
Pattern-clashing seems to be doing pretty well for itself lately. I’d like to see that one continue.
I wouldn’t mind if more people (myself included) learned to make their own clothes or at least to mend them.
Which trend would you like to see retired forever?
The eighties have kind of been done to death. I’m over...
