i absolutely adore northside, just because of it’s hipser-esque feel. there’s an amazing vegan friendly restaurant that i eat at (about once a week) called melt. i generally always get the penne & cheese for lunch or dinner, and the vegan seitan, egg & cheese melt for brunch. it’s amazing.
i posted an update on facebook announcing that i needed an adventure. my friend doug sent me a message asking to hang. doug and i used to be closer when i went out and he bartended. we fell out of touch a bit, and he ended up moving to louisville so we didn’t speak too much. i was pretty happy to hear from him.
we started out our journey by visiting shake-it records and melt for lunch.
we found lots of fabulous street art, and of course posed like a couple of tourists.
i love this. the bright colours make me very happy and excited. i think it goes pretty well with my hair. (;
we got into a little accident. i stopped to make a left hand turn, as there was traffic coming, and i heard a big THUD! a motorcyclist rear-ended me! it did some pretty gnarly damage to my car, so that kinda sucked, but nothing compared to his knee injury. it was freaky. nothing was going to stop me from enjoying my fabulous adventure, though. he insisted he was fine, and i wasn’t worried about the damage done to my car, so we went our separate ways.
…and more, and more and more.
it was at this point that my poor foot got injured! we were just walking around and i felt a sharp pain. i had stepped on a broken beer bottle and the glass went through my flip flop! youch! luckily there were some ladies that had a band-aid. it wasn’t a terribly bad cut, just kinda gross. but, me being me, i did not let this little hiccup put a damper on my day! (:
we did a bit more wandering around and i, as usual, photographed everything.
..and now for some video footage! (:
i am so happy and extremely grateful for this day. my life is truly incredible. i find adventure wherever i go. i live in the moment and have so much fun.
my life is a carnival! (:
