Never been to this place before, but everyone I told the location (Queen and Broadview) to, all thought the Opera House.  I realized why when I got there, Blue Moon is about 3 doors down (heh) from said Opera House.

Anyways, it was also UFC #94 Fight Night so they had that going on the screens & projectors at the front where the bar was, then the middle housed two pool tables, and the back was the dance floor, stage & lights.  They were really well set up in my opinion.  The lights were great, the sound was generally good (the last band happened to break something somehow, but got it fixed in short order)

Have pictures.  Will submit to this blog later.  Found it somewhat humourous there were so many photographers.  (Me & Alex, One hipster looking guy, and some other person) and no one else anywhere near the stage.

The “Toronto Semi-circle” type thing has to go.  As does everyone sitting at the bar/seats when there’s a band up.  Irritating!!

I was supposed to go to the gym on Saturday at 11:30am to make it to the BodyJam class.  Ya… that didn’t really happen.  I don’t know why, I really didn’t want to bother rushing out the door so I just did my own thing instead.

Got to the gym, hit an elliptical machine for 30 minutes plus a 5 minute cool down (ran the weight-loss program which did an interval type of work-out) then hit the flex-fit circut.

Much higher weights in general this time than last time, large muscle groups I was going at something like a 60-90lb weights and the smaller muscle groups more around the 30-45lbs.  Still able to mostly hit 15-20 reps and worked through the circut quickly as there was no on on it.  It was nice.

Got in and out of the gym (including my shower/sauna etc) in just under 90 minutes I would estimate.

Afterwards headed to Awaking State HQ to grab some DVD games, discuss some Radio Tracking & deliver photos.  My goal was to take some band photos as well but that didn’t end up happening.  I may end up working on a barter system for cheap flights which works well all-round.  I call it work, so I’ll be listing my Radio-Tracking stuff under here as well now!

After THAT, heading to the Blue Moon to see ITSJUSTSMITH.

Venue is teeny tiny.  Was quite funny actually.  Four guys crammed onto a stage not much bigger than a coffee table, with the stage being directly next to the incoming door.  Bass player was well enough to avoid nearly smacking a girl in the face with his instrument at one point, but I think he grazed me.  Fisheye lens came in REALLY handy as otherwise I’d not have really been able to fit everything with my normal 50mm!

Will add photos here when I get to it!

Haha. Okay, so I signed up for a Twitter account. Not because I think everyone in the world needs a play-by-play on my life, but because I found out the word/verb “to Twitter” is “Tweeting” and I want to tell people I just Tweeted!

Which I must admit, is much better than Brandon's verb of “to Facebook” being “Facebookify.” (I just say I “FB'ed personally.)

I went today, and the girl who normally teaches the Tuesday night class wasn’t there, which was kind of sad because she’s really cute! I digress.  Anyways, it was the new release so a new routine that everyone needed to learn, I didn’t go to the release class that was last  Tuesday so it was completely new for me. 

I liked it.  It was easy to follow and I could time it well to the music.  The music was pretty cool as well.

I need to try harder in that class though.  I do sweat and I can feel it, but I realized that half-assed kicks and punches aren’t going to tone any muscles that I own.  What sucks is wearing shoes is not conductive to any sort of martial arts, and in a martial arts inspired class… I think we should be going at it bare-foot!  Makes twisting and turning a lot harder, also I keep worrying that my shoe will come flying off into the person to the side or behind me.

No cardio warm-up for me today though, I left work too late to actually get there to do one.  Stupid customers all calling at 5:00 wanting quotes, or 5:10 needing their quotes explained to them! ARRGH!

Although, I found out BodyJam (the dance-inspired class) has a sesson on Fridays at 5:45, and I’ll probably hit it up this Friday.  If I like (which judging from the times I’ve seen the tail ends, I would) I might make that my Friday night.

Which would leave me with: Monday Bodyflow, Tuesday BodyCombat, Wednesday at the gym, Thursday Unicycles, Friday BodyJam.  

I’m a pretty busy gal!
