Yep, just got back from Sunnyside Park, we went there for a free concert... saw Amanda Wilkinson, Carolyn Dawn Jaohnson, and Paul Brant live. Never been much of a country fan, but I must say the concert was excellent.
Up until it rained and people started scattering like we had an air raid alert. All we did was make sure the baby was dry, and wait for all the weak people to clear out. The rain stopped, and another thousand spots opened up.
The fireworks got cancelled, though, since there was lightning over the city during the rains. So that was kind of a disappointment. But all in all, sharing the celebration of Canada's inception with ten thousand other people is always fun. Even in the rain. I remember one Canada Day in Ottawa, there's normally like half a million people walking the streets there on this day, and it started thunderstorming around 3pm. Everyone just sort of gave up trying to stay dry and started dancing in the rain. A 500,000 person rain dance. Then the rain cleared and there were fireworks. That was a fun day.
Just another reason I love this country... dancing in the rain in a crowd of half a million people is something I'll never forget.
