Day 1: Welcome to my city

Okay so, shamefully, this is my first blog post. Ever. I'm really only 8 to 10 years behind the rest of the world, which is nothing to sneeze at. But I've always been slow to join a trend-- it was only two years AFTER trucker hats were uncool, that I bought three.

I suppose, like any good introductory post, this post should serve as an introduction. Welcome to Kurt in the City! Allow me introduce myself. My name is Kurt, and I have little to no interest in anything meaningful, artistic, intellectual, off-beat, avant garde, trail blazing, noteworthy, or interesting. Can't wait to read on, eh?

Don't leave yet. Trust me.

The one thing I do know, and the only thing I have consistently loved since I was a shy and sheltered 7 year old with a mushroom cut and Cherokee jeans (Zellers, holla!) is this great city we call Toronto. I love everything about it, and in my opinion, I have done quite a good job of submersing myself in a lot of the things it has to offer. From book signings and poetry slams, to after hour clubs and handmade stationary stores, I am constantly amazed by this city.

As a result, I thought I would focus my blog on all the things I've done, seen, heard, eaten, smelt-- and to a lesser degree-- all the things I've wanted to see, smell and touch in this city. And of course, I plan to share all of these things with all of you: my tiny but loving, PR community.

Sometimes you'll laugh, sometimes you'll cry, and I promise, sometimes you'll say, "Waaayy too much information." But it's all in good fun and it's all in the name of Toronto.

So enjoy....it's going to be a loooooong day.
