What the BLIP?

Stephen and Scott decided it was about time to replace their sorry excuse for a mattress. With the assistance of personal shopper Jeff and Executive Director of Gay Affairs Joseph, Scott and Steve headed out to Halifax Shopping Centre.


First stop was Pizza Delight, where the boys met up with Benjie and Kevin. Everyone had the $9 buffet, and we enjoyed the service of our waitress, Jenny Penny (yes that was her real name). After Pizza Delight everyone tried some beds at Sears, but felt disappointed by the experience overall.

Personal shopper Jeff recommended heading out to the BLIP (Bayers Lake Industrial Park) to visit Bedroom Depot and The Brick. Bedroom Depot looked like a dirty sketchy warehouse, and even had some pictures of half-naked women posted up in the back storage room.


After deciding Bedroom Depot was not nearly fabulous enough personal shopper directed the boys to The Brick. To our great pleasure we were treated to a fabulous sales person named Cheryl. She sold Scott and Stephen a wonderful memory foam mattress, for %50 off!! When Stephen asked Cheryl if there was any mid-century Scandinavian furniture, she replied that they likely only had 21st century Dartmouth - hilarious! We decided that Cheryl is actually a gay man. We loved her so much that Benjie stopped by later in the afternoon and bought a bed from her as well.

After returning from BLIP there was an Andrew Murphy sighting in the hydrostone, confirming that he does still actually exist, and then everyone and their dog (Ollie) came over to the Hydrostone to pick a playlist for Peter and Bev's new restaurant Pasta Jax and Ribs. It was a wonderful, productive afternoon.
