I attended our good friend Mark Coatsworth's Arctic Photo exhibit tonight at the "Cést What?" microbrew pub in the distillery district of downton Toronto (my old hood, near the old Woods jamspace). What a good night! For those who don't already know, Mark Coatsworth (mark coatsworth) is a Toronto area photographer, and WoY band photographer, who travelled accross the arctic this past summer for 3 months listening to old Immortal and outlaw country music, while drinking whisky and taking photos (from what I understood) of everything from epic mountains of ice to vast empty fields of pure nothingness...and also reindeers. Tonight, he had huge prints of about 18 of the best photos from these adventures on display for show and purchase. The place was packed with supporters of his, eating, drinking, enjoying his work and reading the captions. "Cést What?" is probably my favourite place for pints in the world (from what I've seen and learned so far)! What a good choice Mark!
Also, among the other local celebreties (that I didn't recognize), I met with Sam Dunn and Paul of the band BURN TO BLACK(www.myspace.com/burntoblack) and Michael and the gang from the band ENDORPHINS (www.myspace.com/endorphins1, both Toronto bands of whom have brand new thrash releases on Adrian Bromley (Unrestrained Magazine)'s URGENT RECORDS label (www.myspace.com/urgentmusicrecords ). For fans of heavy thrash, go check out those myspaces and comment in this thread with feedback, please!
Maaaaaaaaaaybe, good ole Mark Coats himself will post some photos and comments about the night when he sees this thread
btw - Mark, I have a fridge full of beers. La Fin du Monde!!!
