La Tulipe

This is an old theater on Papineau that's been renovated into a popular music venue. Everytime I go by it I tell myself I ought to take a picture, so today I finally did. This isn't the definitive one, but it's a start.

I also went into a nearby business that has always intrigued me - "The Octopus" - a tropical fish store. More about that on a later date. Iv'e got to go back though, I was so freaked out about the place that I didn't dare ask if it was Ok to take a picture inside, but I'll go back.

When I went home from the studio today -- I had taken this photo on a walk in the afternoon -- there was a huge line of kids waiting to buy tickets in front of La Tulipe, many of them pretty punked up, with lots of metal, piercings, torn clothing; it must have been for the White Chapel concert, tonight.
