Poutinefest: your gateway to ADVENTUR!
The trains are all effed up this weekend, or at least the red line trains are, so it was a bit of an adventure getting down to Haymarket Pub, where it was being held. Worth it though. There were eleven different high-end restaurants serving a variety of poutine, which for the sadly uninitiated is fries covered with cheese curds and then doused in brown gravy. I KNOW.

Turns out it also went to give us a crapload of swag. I got a PoutineFest sticker, a button with the logo, a Jim Beam commemorative glass, some stickers, and

YES
YOU KNOW IT
A POUTINEFEST TOTE BAG.
I'm considering sending it to my mum.
