Yes, the installations leave much to be desired, yes the crowds and children partying are annoying, yet, one can have a very good time at Nuit Blanche once you accept such things. Last year it fizzled down to only three of us in the end but we had a great time all the way til almost dawn. Once I've gone over the installation descriptions I'll put up a bit of a game plan. Maybe. If someone has a must see and wants to join the group that isn't likely a problem.

I'm a definite maybe.

I have a bunch of friends who want to go and am probably going to follow them around with me camera.
Otherwise I'll join up with you guys!

Shameless plug but a group of the now second year humber photo students will be having a show that is up and part of nuit blanche at Twist Galley: 1100 Queen Street West just W. of ossington. I will post in the upcoming photo exhibits once we have all the details nailed down. I may come out with all of you and i would love to stop by and see what ppl think of my work

i hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope they put more TTC transit in place.

However this isn't an event to walk aimlessly....impossible to do everything.

Impossible? Maybe. Pointless though. The fun is the night itself.

Speaking of TTC there does tend to be a lot of walking at this one folks... Sure, grab the promotional TTC pass but there's still a lot of walking.

Happy to join, thanks for organizing.

I do however hope that there will be some art worth seeing, IMO the event is getting worse and worse every year.

Pic from five years ago where they had fog and light installations, this was fun.

Five buzz-worthy 2011 Nuit Blanche exhibits according to blogTO.

The art of food. I did see a poutine truck last year that I regret passing...

My opening night is during Nuit Blanche so if anyone is in the area please stop by and check out my stuff! SOO excited! Twist Galley: 1100 Queen Street West just W. of ossington.

We're not far away. If anyone has events they'd like to see AND participate in the walk post up. Otherwise I'm just gonna walk around based on whim from the start point - Zone A St. George Subway station, west entrance.

If anyone happens to be in our zone -- come by St. Anne's Church on Gladstone - we have a Nuit Blanche installation entitled "ASYLUM"... its going to be awesome.

As usual, work is going to get into the way of me attending Nuit Blanche. Except this year will be my day job, and not helping at home on the farm. I need to spend all day Sat and Sun auditing a building lighting system, and go to a dinner on Sat night to finally get my P.Eng. certificate.

Maybe next year...?

Rob Ford will have the night cut next year. Good luck with work hotwire!

Late night eats at Nuit Blanche courtesy of blogTO. And more from BlogTO about the event. If someone sees something they want to do in any of these make a note of it and we'll probably do it as nobody else has suggested anything but their own thing yet. Nothing wrong with that, just saying and so on. Best of luck to those doing exhibits, sincerely.

Currently the weather forecast for the night is nice and cool, thank a deity!, with showers potentially starting around midnight. So dress warm and we'll get our must sees sawed asap in case of rain.

Nice meeting you guys. Hope everyone got home safe.

Sadly that's the best I got. Meh.

Crazy number of people and everything being so far apart makes chasing exhibits really hard. Was surprised that there were still lineups at 3 AM.

It was nice meeting you guys and thanks for organizing this Chris. I only managed to get 4-5 usable shots that night...most are of the drummer.
