Wesley Snipes' Toronto

Breakfast
"After a late Saturday night, no sit-down breakfast for me! It's
off to Second Cup, a great coffee place, for some croissants and
fresh juice (since I don't drink coffee). Then it's time to chill
out and invite people over to the King Eddy so I can spin some of
the new wax I got at Play de Record. I just bought a new pair of
turntables from Numark, and on a Sunday in
Toronto, I would set
them up and spin all day."
Excursion
"Niagara Falls is about an hour's drive from Toronto. In just a
short drive, you can also be away from the hustle and bustle of the
city and be in the country-side or the complete wilderness with the
forests and the trees. Even though I'm from New York and I love a
big city, it's nice to get away and have a place to meditate, and
what could be better than having both the beautiful countryside and
Niagara Falls?"
ONE GREAT NIGHT IN TORONTO
"Earlier this year, I hosted a series of parties across North
America to promote the release of Blade II. In Toronto, the event
was held at the Kool Haus, a massive club in a warehouse. Although
I had two deejays touring with us to spin at the parties, I also
took the opportunity to spin. Nothing can compare to the feeling of
being on stage with thousands of people at the mercy of your own
musical tastes. I was nervous, but the rush I got from the crowd
dancing to my beats was truly bananas! Imagine having complete
control of the crowd's mood on the dance floor, whether it be a
slow hip-hop track or a really funky house beat. I played it all.
In Toronto, they are very educated about their music. That's why I
love deejaying. It's different than doing films. In film, the
rewards are in the future; in deejaying, the gratification is
instantaneous."
