WEEKEND IDEAS: I Wanna Get High...

…so high.

It's funny how without any premeditated organization, a day can become stunningly themed.

Yesterday was all about getting high – whether eating cornish hen whilst hung from a crane in the middle of the sky in Dundas Square or watching Ben Kingsley taking hits from the bong and tagging 1994 NYC; you know, the self help, Giuliani crack down, hip hop, page a dealer on the pay phone era.

The Ultimate Way To Spend Canada Day

I've been doing a relaxed poll this week where I ask people what they do to celebrate Canada Day, what traditions they have - the answer seemed to be unanimous:

"DRINK BEER"

Yes, I concur that when I think of Canada Day I think of buying copious amounts of Molson Canadian and beef; getting wasted over a BBQ in soaked bathing suits and burnt skin. OH CANADA, our home and native land!

Didn't you know? Being queer is like a hundred times cooler than being straight.

NXNE? Old news. TIFFG, we like you but you are a wee bit pretentious and wear too much black. Halloween – you were more fun when I was like seven. Nuit Blanche, very cool but somehow we all end up eating cake in the rain, and having anti climatic moments like the deflated giant locust in Lamport Stadium. Molson Indy…sorry, you don't even make the cut – especially since you make us go half deaf with your zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

See, Hear, Feel, Go! For many, it's difficult to understand what re-living Queen St in 1985 has to do with running into Dundas Square dressed in a wedding gown for a frantic five minute flash mob photo or, for that matter, what the linking themes are between Scottish fiddling and street art in Regent Park. THIS IS LUMINATO – don't think, just let your senses lead you into something fun or adventurous. I admit, at times I'm puzzled about the curatorial choices, but if you think of yourself as Alice falling down the rabbit hole; it all makes sense.

Tattoo Rock Parlour

In honour of our live karaoke night tomorrow at Tattoo Rock Parlour, I thought I'd do a fun little newsletter (AND MAJOR PLUG) that includes some Top 5's regarding tattoos and karaoke.

Raise your hand if you got a dolphin or a rose inked on your ankle when you were eighteen ? Now clap your hands if this is now a major regret?

SEX AND THE CITY PREMIERE AND PARTY

Jen — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:02:35 -0700

Women, women, women – SHRIEKING!

It was the kind of insanity comparable to little Portugal during World Cup soccer or when the Pope visited and the city was flooded with elated Christian youth in matching t-shirts. The gusto in our cries of excitement were wild, and when Kim Cattrall, the PR cock hungry Samantha Jones, stood on stage and shouted out, "Are you ready for more sex??", it was as if every women in the theatre hadn't been laid in three months.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
