Big Day (Night) Downtown
For the past few years, Passable has been participating in the Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s Big Day Downtown. Every summer, the DHBC gives a bunch of bloggers a pre-paid credit card to go explore the best of what downtown Halifax has to offer. Whether it’s sandwiches, spas, tattoos or trinkets, people get to go nuts in what is essentially a Treat Yo’ Self extravaganza. In the past, we’ve wandered one end of the waterfront to the other, had a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Craig Flinn in a “try something new” black box challenge, and paired up with another blogger to share experiences. This year it was all about fulfilling a brief made up of three words in whatever way you felt you could best define those words through downtown exploits.
My words were: relaxing, thrilling, and satisfying.
Relaxing was easy. I just didn’t bother doing anything related to this task, instead spending my evenings laying on my couch watching True Blood on Netflix. I live downtown, so it totally, totally, totally counts, you guys.
But what to do to fill the other two thirds of my brief? That was, surprisingly, even easier.

Nice! Bonus points for using Shitshow too, it’s one of my favourite nouns.
