I might check that out. Although, if my parents won't even let me listen to OLP in the car, I doubt they'll want to go anywhere near yonge and dundas!

Busking is performing on the street and people come by to watch, and some even drop change into hats/guitar cases for the entertainers, but it's pretty much just performing/playing on the street for people. Anything, guitar, drums, juggling, etc.

I'm back!
The trip was pretty boring over all. We didn't really do much. Supper at the CN tower was really good. The highlight of the meal was spotting Much Music. lol
We were at the Eaton's Center, and there's this stand there where they sell autographed photos. I asked if they had anything of Our Lady Peace, and the guy said that they did have one. So he started looking. I'm waiting thinking "This is awesome!". Then he asks the other guy "Where's that Our Lady Peace photo we had?". "I sold it this morning." My thoughts: "FUCK YOU!"

that reminds me...I should post my picture from Speakers Corner (I didn't do it; I just have a great picture of myself walking out) in the CMers pictures thread.
Edit: I didn't know there was an official term for street performances until I went to Toronto. hee.

Nope. Couldn't convince my parents to pay for the extra stop at Osgoode after not finding anything at all the poster stores we went into on Yonge (we took the subway downtown).
And they wouldn't let me pay for said stop either.

That may be, but it was raining at the time, and we were headed to the old spaghetti factory for supper. It was on the way back from supper that I asked if we could get off at Osgoode, and got a resounding "no" from my folks.
