[NON BLOG] Singing and the Arcadian Court
Mar. 5th, 2005 10:12 pmThe performance at the cabaret has been over for some seven hours now. The most charitable thing that can be said about the performance is that it was my first one, and I had fun and that's the important thing.
Before the performance, the boyfriend and I went to the Arcadian Court for dinner. A rather posh restaurant on the 8th floor of the Bay, Stephen Smith notes in his review of Atwood's The Blind Assassin that the Arcadian Court once played a very prominent role in the organization of Toronto high society. As I looked around the cavernous hall--up Thomson Collection was stored over 1989-2004, around at the other diners taking advantage of the brunch and the food menu--I took brief and inadequate stock of the changes (in the Arcadian Court's shedding of its former art deco, in Torontonian society).
