Last weekend was the start of the Luminato festival in Toronto. Looking over the activities, they weren’t as interesting as last year’s (i.e., ROM crystal or random art), nor were there as many. It kind of looks like the festival is losing momentum after only one year!

On Saturday, Pauline and I went to the Telus’ Light On Your Feet, which was supposed to be a huge dance lesson in Dundas Square. It turned out to be disappointing because 1) they had scheduled Celtic/Scottish music for Saturday, and 2) there wasn’t actually any dancing! It was more of people standing around waiting for things to happen. Anyways we left while the dancing lesson was getting organized.

While there, I saw a mobile contest which involved going to all three Luminato sites, finding two letters at each site, and texting the solved anagram to win a prize. Luckily, the two letters I found were C, and R and after some extrapolation, I guessed that the word was CREATE. I got a text a little while later telling me that I had won a prize! But it turned out that my prize was a pair of tickets to a couple of Luminato events. I was kind of disappointed with this (since the activities weren’t that interesting) and would have been happier with a Luminato t-shirt or something. Oh well, you can’t win them all!
