Catherine O'Hara

Catherine was a good friend she loved the after-hours scene. her brother Marcus ran the 505 another After Hours spot on Eastern Queen Street. But she often came to my place and always brought interesting people. So there I was at the Club 22 at the Windsor Arms. With my then-buddy Michael Ironside. Michael and I were trying to break our record of drinking about 80 margaritas. When Johnny Hart and Jack Caprio the cartoonists showed up and we were really throwing the drinks back and having a great time. When I saw Katherine waving at me. She had just come from the Courtyard Cafe where she had treated her parents to dinner. She waved me over and I gave her a peck and she says Gary I want you to meet my mother and father. 'Really How nice"I said trying to be polite and bent over with a little bow and extended my hand when: from out of nowhere Ironside bit my ass really hard. I don't know how he did it, but I screamed and jumped and kicked. He hung on like a pit bull. I writhed around hit him while the stunned O'Haras wondered what was going on. I finally shook him off and everything settles down but I am sure Katherine's parents wondered what kind of friends she had. Everyone else was laughing but I was limping. Ironside could be a really crazy ass sometimes.]

Catherine and Marcus: Siblings in the Nightlife

Catherine's brother, Marcus, ran the 505, another popular After Hours spot on Eastern Queen Street. Despite having her own connections in the nightlife scene, Catherine often preferred to hang out at different spots and bring along a diverse group of interesting people.

A Night at Club 22

One evening, I found myself at Club 22 at the Windsor Arms with my buddy Michael Ironside. Our mission for the night? To break our record of drinking about 80 margaritas. As we were happily indulging in our drinks, we were joined by Johnny Hart and Jack Caprio, the cartoonists. The night was filled with laughter and good times.

The Unexpected Encounter

Amidst the lively atmosphere, I spotted Catherine waving at me. She had just come from the Courtyard Cafe, where she had treated her parents to dinner. I was pleasantly surprised when she insisted on introducing me to her parents. But just as I was about to extend my hand in greeting, chaos ensued.
Out of nowhere, Ironside decided to play a prank on me by biting my ass. The pain was excruciating, and I couldn't help but scream and kick in a frenzy. Despite my best efforts, Ironside clung on like a stubborn pit bull. The O'Haras, Katherine's parents, looked on in confusion, unsure of what to make of the situation.
After managing to shake off Ironside, the laughter resumed, but I was left nursing a sore behind. It was moments like these that made me realize just how wild and unpredictable nights with Catherine and her friends could be.
