Anyone go on any adventures this weekend? Global or local.
I went to see a movie with a friend and the accessible seats we set up in such a way that there was railing and a step between us 🤨

My Support Worker and I are going to lunch at a venue called The Wharf (it’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK) https://www.wharfteddington.com/, I’m hoping that they’ll respect my request that I’m in a wheelchair 🤞

We went to see Hamilton on Thursday (in Montreal) and the Places des Arts really isn’t disability friendly. There wasn’t any signs for elevators, so I had to use my cane to get on escalators, and then had stairs to climb which hurt my back.
At least we had picked some good seats and the show was amazing.

Hope they improve accessibility! But at least you had a good time!

@PapayaPaya Did you ask before you bought your tickets about their accessibility? I always make sure to see if a venue is accessible before even buying a ticket.

@carmitch I actually didn’t do it. I assumed it was more accessible as the anime convention I volunteer for used it for some of our concerts and we wrote that it was accessible.
Turns out it’s only very partially accessible.

@PapayaPaya Never assume. The venue staff who claim it’s accessible rarely have a disability, so they have no life experience or know what’s accessible. When I do stuff with friends who don’t have accessibility needs, they just let me handle the accessibility questions since they know that I will know what to do.
