Dear friends, foes, and love interests,
A top contender for my biggest fail of the month has to be when I was writing this very blog post and promptly spilled lemonade all over my laptop keys, forcing me to extract each one for a deep clean before reattaching them. During that two-day sanitation marathon, I could be seen hunched over my desk wearing an N95 to avoid breathing in the fumes from the rubbing alcohol I was using to scrub the surface of my keyboard and each doohicky attached to it. In the end, I only broke the edge of one computer key, which is a bit of a win, if I do say so myself.
Outside of that gruelling quest, I also was able to score tickets to the annual Queer Connection even put on by the Univerity of Ottawa’s Pride Club, as well as the Honest Heart Co. show at The Rainbow - let’s dive in.

Tickets for one of Ottawa’s most sought-after music events of the year, Queer Connection, sold out in 24 hours last year. Knowing that I would have a lot to contend with to secure my tickets, I set an alarm to go buy them, which coincidentally went off at the Live! on Elgin open mic. Many of my friends and I were able to secure tickets, but not everyone was able to go, even though the event was held at Club SAW, one of the higher-capacity local stages. This year, tickets sold out in three hours.
