Cape Farewell Doc at the Live Green Toronto Festival
If you think that the word “green” should only ever be used as an adjective (and, in the case of golf, a noun), you might want to wear earplugs to this shindig. This weekend, The Live Green Toronto Festival descends upon Yonge-Dundas Square. On Saturday, “100+ exhibitors, a farmers’ market, live music and local foods [...]
Avatar… Again?
This Avatar business is starting to get annoying. James Cameron now has more money than God thanks to his latest movie Avatar. Now, I’ll be honest with you: it was not a bad movie. The visual effects were so eye-poppingly amazing it made me forget that the plot was pretty much Pocahontas with a preachier [...]
Technicolour Music and Reading Series at Naco
Sometimes the weirdest shit shows up in my Facebook event feed. I must have some odd friends. Apparently, there’s a artsy-fartsy series of “delightfully strange musical acts and readings from local emerging artists” that is going to happen on the third Tuesday of every month from August to December, and this Tuesday will be the [...]

From October 1–3, 2010, the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & [...]
Big Lake—Big Suckage

It was marketed out the ass by Comedy Central, apparently because they thought it was gonna be the “next big [...]
Yonge Street Pub Crawl for Right to Play
It’s not often that you get the opportunity to get hammered in order to help disadvantaged children. Well, this Saturday, you’ll get to do just that! Semisolidmedia, a “purveyor of fine fun” (per their website), holds a monthly Rock Band jam session at Rockie Raccoons in Toronto. However, on the last Saturday in August (previously [...]
A Midsummer’s Slow Dance Night in Toronto
“It’s high school with a happy ending, and it’s queer, senior, and couple-friendly too.” So in other words, it’s not like high school at all. If you’re sitting at home alone this Saturday night and suddenly have a hankering to dust off those formal duds and do the seventh-grade shuffle with a bunch of like-minded [...]
