Don't see any hype over this this year... though, a quick glance at the projects listed doesn't have anything scream at me.
Anyone going to this? lol |

Well considering the craptacular exhibits of the years past, I can see why interest has dropped off.
The Distillery District is doing a food truck installation this year:

Food 'art', now that is something I can get behind.
I'll probably be riding around on my bike this year, to cut down the time. Hopefully the weather is good. Forcast. High of 11, low of 5...its gonna be a chilly one. |

I thought that was a great idea too but as I was riding along Queen W some drunk idiot who was trying to high-five me (I have no idea why) knocked me off my bike. It really was a miracle that I wasn't seriously injured or run over by a car for that matter. It's not everyday you see a guy my size go flying over the handle bars of his own bike. Anywayz, just be careful. Nuit Blanche is a good night to get completely trashed and wander the streets. Many people take full advantage of that. |

I was too cold and too bored last year :\ that being said, I'm curious about the food truck installation! |

| It's so sad, the 1st year was so amazing, and then every year it gets worse and worse(same with Luminato). |

| Does anyone know what time headliners normally start at the Guvernment? My friends wants me to go see Sander Van Doorn.. I haven't been to the Guv in years, just moved back to Toronto. Would like to see some of Nuit Blanche before heading over there if possible! |

| HATERS. Straight up who cares about the art. Its a night to go out and party with a million people. The one night you can walk around with a beer in hand. The one night Toronto is less lame then usual |
