THREE WEEKS IN CANADA - katy takes the town by storm . . .

-
when you ask people why the love katy dickson,
you typically hear them say things like
"have you heard that girl SING?"
or
"she seems to know EVERYONE"
or
"i love her shoes"
-
i love katy cause she believes in me.
-
from the start, from the very first meeting,
she believed in me.
and she fought for me, with me, and without me.
-
i love katy dickson cause she's my advocate,
my friend,
and my partner.
-
so when she came up to toronto for a few days to spend time
during fittings with us,
all was good with the world.
-
though i don't think toronto knew what hit it.
-
first, the venue.
CANOE, a fine dining restaurant,
on the 54th floor of a tower downtown,
complete with sweeping views:
-
-
then, 
good food, some laughs, some wine:
-
-
then jess, in the middle there, crafts a way for us to all get tequila shots on the house.
-
which led to this:
-
-
then katy started asking questions about dutch people and deutschland,
and we finished,
and she and jess, yes, 
sauntered out of the restaurant,
down 54 stories,
and out into the night, wineglasses still in hand.
-
-
best moment?
when the security guard ran after them and told them they couldn't take the wine out of the building.
katy smiles,
downs the glass,
hands it to him,
and says
"i just did".
-
-
then gets him to take our picture.
-
-
only a southern girl in a gown
can pull that shit off.
