Re: Blanche

By David Topping

The sun will rise on Nuit Blanche soon, so let’s just get the inevitable out of the way. Last year, when we polled Torontoist readers about their impressions of Nuit Blanche 2007, the bulk of you, 39%, voted that it was “pretty lame, actually.” (Only 11% said it was “wicked awesome.”) As it turns out, that seemed to be something of a consensus last year, as underwhelming exhibits, long lineups, big crowds, and relentless corporate sponsorship turned many off, especially in light of 2006’s spectacular debut. So while we’re working on collecting our thoughts (and our photos), we’ll ask it again: what’d you think of this year’s Nuit Blanche?
