Location One location is located at 614C Broadway Avenue and the other is on 2318 8th Street East.
Environment It's a chill place and great place to go on a hot day. There are seats located outdoors and inside. Both locations are different, for example the 8th Street ceiling is a collection of coffee bags. This time we went to the Broadway location. There is wi-fi, making it a good place to chat with friends, do work or even read. The staff are friendly and patient due to their large menus.
Menu Like I said, the drink menu has quite the selection. You can choose from a large amount of hot drinks, chilled drinks and baked goods.
Drinks The beverages are always impressive. We ordered a mango tea and cold green tea latte. My favourite drinks there are the teas, hot chocolate, flavoured hot milks and above the hot green tea latte.
Five Marvel movies and four years later, the long awaited Avengers movie has arrived.
I'll be honest, I wasn't overly excited nor was I expecting much from this movie. A lot of superhero movies tend to have that effect on me. Especially with a movie of this stature, how were they gonna make it fair for this ensemble cast?
Don't worry. They pulled it off well. Actually perfectly I'd say.
We got:
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man / Tony Stark
Chris Evans as Captain America / Steve Rogers
Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk / Dr. Bruce Banner
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye / Clint Barton
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Tom Hiddleston as Loki
All respective actors / actresses in their own little way.
The short and skinny of it is: Nick Fury, directory of S.H.I.E.L.D., puts together a team of superheroes, comprised of Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye, to stop Thor's estranged brother Loki from opening up a portal, with the help of The Tesseract (a cosmic cube that can control matter and energy), to allow the Chitauri to invade Earth.
I had a few qualms going into this movie, but after watching it. They were immediately squashed.
My biggest concern was The Hulk. Judging from the previous movies centered around him, I thought he was just gonna be a moping giant beast, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde stuff, but as a supporting character, he works best.
Initially Edward Norton was supposed to reprise his role in this movie, but things fell through and Mark Ruffalo took the reigns. To be honest, I'm happy that that happened. Mark Ruffalo fits this role like a glove.
The biggest surprise in this movie had to be Black Widow. Since she was played by Scarlett Johansson, the majority of the people thought that she was gonna be eye candy and that's it. But nope. She was a bad ass in this movie. Black Widow held her own, especially when everybody else is a demi-god, billionaire playboy, super soldier, The Hulk.
The humor was the very fine stitching that kept the movie together. It was very reminiscent of Iron Man. A lot of quips that get a good chuckle out of the audience. It gave all the heroes a bit of humanity instead of being so serious all the time.
Should you go watch it? God yes. This movie sets the bar high for the superhero genre and frankly it's the best action movie out right now.
Fit
The suede around the toe and the leather in the toe box stretch. I would recommend you to purchase your true size.
Breaking In
I was impressed with the break in period for the Gato. It took me about three or four sessions to break these in and allow them to stretch.
Price
I believe they cost around $70 CAD.
Positives
The price is better than previous and current top of the line indoor/futsal footwear. The full grain leather provides a good feel of the ball. The shoe is well cushioned for the hard tile, it is a good choice for those with bad knees (also a Lunarlon model available). As stated before, my experience with the break-in period was very impressive.
Negatives
The only negative I can think about is the grip. It takes a while for the sole to become "grippy". I spent my first few games slipping, many Nike indoor shoes are this way. In time they become better, but you can also spray the bottoms with hairspray.
Conclusion
These shoes are good for all of the basics: passing, dribbling and shooting. I recommend them based on their price and their performance. A Nike representative told me that these are one of their more popular indoor shoes in Canada.
Simon at Blackout Creative, a local artist and graphic designer recently had an interview with Sailor Dan. Simon explains how the two of them met, their upcoming project and a little interview to end things off. Expect a tee to drop by the end of May 2012.
