Writers From The (Birthday) Block

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I finally went back to Writers From The Block, since October 17. Greyson Chance concert on November 7th and I went to Ezra Jordan the day after November 21. I was very excited to go back to my favourite place.

Before I jump into this blog, I want to tell you Chameleons how I found out that Writers From The Block was playing on my birthday. Back in May I decided to look at the calendar and check when all the first and third Thursday of the month where. When I got down to December, and to my surprise the first Thursday of the month was on December 5th, my birthday. I decided that I was going. At the beginning or end of October Squid and I were talking about the first weekend of December. It was a go. Go to Toronto on December 1st, come home December 2, and then back to Toronto on December 4th till December 6th. During the days I was home I celebrated my birthday with Jackie. To make this blog stay on topic I am not going to say what I did for the week and when I was in Toronto. Lets start a few days before December, when I got the line-up.

On November 27th when I was on my way to Toronto to see Bulow & Ashs I was on Instagram and I saw that Ezra Jordan and Writers From The Block posted an Instagram Story. I viewed Ezra's and I see that he is playing at Writers From The Block on December 5th. I quickly messaged him saying "I am seeing you on my birthday". He asked me if my birthday was on the day, and I said yes. On December 1st WFTB posted up a photo on Instagram saying info about the next show on December 5th, and me being me commented saying that I have that day marked down. Even cause it's my birthday and I pick celebrating with Writers From The Block. Fast forward to December 4th when I went back to Toronto. On December 4th I went to my Go Bus for 6:10pm. I got down early so I treated myself to a Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate and a Reindeer donut. I get to Toronto and go to Squid. We go to Frank's to get dinner for him, myself, and Ink. After we all ate we celebrated my birthday like it was Thursday. We had cake and I opened gifts.

The next day, December 5th. My birthday. I decided to wear my birthday pin and get myself a hot chocolate at this cute cafe. They even gave me a piece of cake and thanked for being a consisted costumer. I even started on my book from Jackie, that I got on Tuesday. Between then and Writers From The Block I was pretty much relaxing. So lets just skip to Writers From The Block. At 7:45 Squid, Ink, and Myself all made it down to the B-Side Lounge. I pay my money and sit down. Right after I sit down Noa walks by and says "Happy Birthday Milly, I am glad that you decided to celebrate at Writers From The Block." All I say is thank you and that I am 27 now. Next I decided to get water fro the bar, I go up and the bartender sees it's my birthday and asks me if I want a special Birthday drink. I just say not yet, just water right now. Thanks. I grabbed my water and went back to my seat. I went on Twitter and I saw that Olivia Holt posted a Tweet with a picture of herself holding 4 big cans of ketchup. I retweeted it with a comment saying "Me with hot sauce Olivia lol" Later I just kept siping my water. The first perfumer, Justin Toito. I liked his performance. After he performed, we were on break. When we were on break I thought it was a good time to get my birthday Vodka & Coke. I get the drink and see Ezra. I walk over to him. After talking for a bit, I made friends with the 2 guys. After Ezra said that my name was Milly. One of the guys asked how I know Ezra. I explained and then they asked about the show The Launch. Then the next performer came on, B. Nox. I liked him. After he performed we were on break. Right when we were on break my brother calls. I go outside to talk to him and leave my cup at the bar. He called to wish me a Happy Birthday, we even talked for a bit. When we end the call I went back in held my coat and got my drink form the bar. One of the guys that were sitting were I stood asked me if I was leaving. I said no, I just came back from outside my brother called. The third performer comes on at the point, Aryss. I really liked her performances. While she was performing she told us that she loves to post photos up of her dog on Instagram, but he is never getting Instagram. He's not allowed to have more followers than her lol. That's the same with me and Philly. We were on break. I went by the bar just to not stand in the way of people and I see this guy with a ponytail in the front of his head. I told him that we did that to my cousin one day. He laughed and asked if he looked like a Teletubbies. To be nice I said no. He says that he looks like Tinky Winky, the purple one. I told him I remember and that I use to watch the show to. He looks at me and asks how old am I, I say 27 today. Then he says I remember you. I tell him that my last time here was on October 17th. He remembers me form that day. I sat down near the boys I was talking to earlier and I decided to text Squid and tell him we are on break. Possibly 4 minutes later Ezra performs. 4 minutes later I message Squid saying the 4th performer, Ezra Jordan is on now. A few minutes goes by and Squid comes in, pays his money, and walks to the bar. After Ezra performed I talked to Joshua Sade James for a bit (He performed on October 17th). After we finished talking I went to Squid and talked to him. Then I told him that I am going to try and find Aryss. I had no luck. I went back to were I was siting near Squid and Ezra was to my left. I introduced them. Then I told Ezra that Alexis wanted to come, but couldn't.

Just then Noa went on stage... Before she introduced the last performer, Bryn, Noa ended up saying "One of our fans, Milly, is celebrating her 27th birthday with us today." By this point Squid told me that Noa is talking about me. After Noa was done giving me a huge birthday shoutout, the whole bar sang "Happy Birthday" to me. I couldn't keep a straight face. I teared up. I was caught off guard. After everyone sang, the sound guy came to me, held out his cigarette later, lite it, and wanted me to blow it out. Next Bryn performed. Loved her. I got to talk to Aryss and tell her about Philly and Instagram, cause I understand about the instagram thing with her dog and take a picture with her, I went up to Noa and thanked her on what she did. I even met and got a picture with Bryn. I even got a picture with Ezra. Plus everyone was saying Happy Birthday to me and giving me hugs. After I was done Squid was asking if I see Noa. I didn't, but I pointed out her mom to him. He thanked her mom for what her daughter did.

After Squid and I got into the cab I was still very surprised on what Noa did. Even Squid teared up. The last time we both teared up was at my mom's funeral in September of 2015. Sorry, this whole blog is meant to be happy. We went home and we had some leftover cake from the day before and then went to bed.

This was my best birthday ever. Thank you to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday. The next Writers From The Block is on December 19th. I am unfortunately not going to make it, so a replacement blog will be up.

Ashs & Bulow

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to tell you all about the Bulow concert on November 27. I'm going to tell you Chameleons the whole story of how I went to go see Bulow. Before I get on with the story I will be saying Ashs all through out the story. You'll see who I am talking about later on.

Near the end of October after I established that I was seeing Greyson Chance and Ezra Jordan I joked to myself saying "If Ashs plays in November Then it would be more perfect." A few days later (still in October) I saw that Ashs posted up a photo on Instagram saying that she was going on tour with Bulow.  I was talking to Squid on the phone one day and told him that Ashs was going on tour. I looked at where they were playing and I see November 27 at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. I freaked out. I was even freaking out more cause of that joke I told myself. I asked Squid if he wanted to go and see Ashs again, he said yes. I bought the tickets on the same day I bought the Ezra Jordan tickets for Allie & I, on October 27 (Like I had to say that part lol).

On November 27 I went to my city bus for 3:21 and made it downtown and off the bus at 3:53 for the 4:10 Go Bus. I even got the line up for Writers From The Block and I'm very excited for my birthday. Back to Ashs and Bulow. Squid met me on the other end and we got burgers for dinner for the 3 of us (Me, him, & Ink). After Squid and I went on our way to see Bulow and Ashs. We get to the Danforth Music Hall, get our tickets scanned, and get a drink for each of us. Ashs performed first. When Ashs was on stage I made my way to the front. Squid and I made a meeting place in case we couldn't find each other. Later when she was done I went back to Squid and said "She's over. I'm going on my Ashs hunt." I went around the Danforth 3 or 4 times. I went to find Squid and told him that I am having no luck and that I am going to try the hallway. In my head I was saying "If I don't come back I found her". Off I went to the hallway.....

I get out of the door and trying to get by to try to find Ashs. She sees me and pulls me out of the crowd. We had a hug. I even teared up. She introduced me to her sister, Britney and told her to look what I was wearing. We had a little bit of a conversation. Then her friend behind me said Hey and Ashs just looks at her and says "Where's your merch?" and then continues with "Camille trumps you all." After that I gave her my present I made for her. The night before I was Facetiming Cindy, my brother, and nephew and we made reindeer bags. I even made a reindeer necklace. So after I gave her the bag I told her that there was a necklace inside. She asked me if it jingles. I replied with yes. She told me that she will put it on her dog, Charlie when she gets home. Next she says "Camille has been my longest, best, & favourite supporter!" Before we left she suggested we take a picture together. Britney took the pictures and then we took selfies. (Here are the best ones)

After I haded her the gift I told her that Jackie texted me when I was on the bus to tell Ashs she said hi. Next, I told Ashs that I normally don't like November and I told her that I went to see my favourite boys this month and I joked about her playing in November, she replied saying it was fate. 

Did you think this blog was done Chameleons? We are now on to Bulow. While I was talking to Ashs and before Bulow came on Verzache performed. I went back to Squid and told him that I made the right decision to go into the hallway. I also showed him the pictures of Ashs & I. I even showed a picture to Cindy, just to show her my outfit. She asked me on the bus to show her my outfit and I meant to do the picture at Squid & Ink's house.

Bulow performed. It was my first time I saw her live. I can see that Bulow loves what she does. I enjoyed her live. I thought I knew 2 songs, but turns out I knew 3 songs. 

Sorry that this whole blog was about Ashs. I enjoyed Bulow too.

Here are some of my favourite pictures from Wednesday, November 27th:
