Pain and Suffering in Toronto

---

Hello All,
We left St. Catharines after a great visit at 8 Dundee and headed onto see Bry in Toronto. The drive was short, but we weren't in tune with traffic. A little more hectic than rush minute back in the Horse. Bry was staying in Massey Hall with other junior fellows and the like. Quite a step up from the undergrad experience. We got a chance to meet friends Libby and James, and Rob hooked up with breaker Troy and other b-folk. We even got the chance to check out a downtown Toronto club with breaking and battling. Ug was up in the mess while I sampled the local Steam Whistel. Our biggest news is, of course, the much anticipated brandings. We found out about Blair on the net and made appointments back in November. We got the deed done in his apartment studio and Troy tagged along. Afterwards we four shared stories over some suds and early on the 10th for Ottawa and the far east coast. Thanks to Bry for the hospitality!

Rob goes first
Rob wanted us to brand the same shoulder; I wanted opposites. We both wanted to go first: such the compromise.

Owch!
Wow! That looks slightly painful! How was it overall, you aarogant little bastards? Choice canvas indeed! He did a really good job though. I like it. How long did it take? Are you still sore? I still prefer the ink, though. Good for you. One more thing off the old list!
