Daft Punk @ Bell Centre, August 7

It was awesome and maybe lived up to 95% of the hype. The Bell Centre is an awful venue in a lot of ways so no show there will ever live up to 100% of the hype, I suspect (have griped about this enough so just as an example: bottled water at $4.75, no drinks or empty bottles allowed in from outside, no drinking fountain, and the bathroom taps run HOT WATER ONLY. Yeah, I saw someone faint, and the opening act wasn't even through). Plus we didn't have tickets for the floor, which were standing room only. If last time was any indication it would've been impossible to see a thing unless one squeezed to the front, but at least it was a Dance Party down there. Though more for the DJ than for The Rapture or Daft Punk themselves. Much of the crowd clearly had dressed for the SAT afterparty; lots of gold lamé. XD At this point I'm a little disappointed I didn't go but... Tuesday.

Afterward we walked to Concordia, where Ced had parked. A. and I wanted bubble tea but the cafés were closed, so we went to Hawaiian Cocktail and got smoothies instead. Ced was going home but bumped into friends so ended up staying downtown longer than we did.
