Location shoot and hello from Toronto!How was the flight and the trip over here? Ended up taking a taxi at 3 o’clock in the morning, mainly because I figured it was cheaper than a hostel in Toronto… but still would’ve been better to get that later flight.Visa application done and did! And now to wait! Thursday is pick up day. Should I stay? Or should I go? (They were waiting for me!) I also took my envelope back soooo… guess I’m staying. How’s the hostel?! Where are you staying?And yes, I spent some time this weekend doing some recording. How did it go?Donate to the show!
