Are you a lonely freelancer, looking to make merry with other freelancers, freeloaders and self-employed-types in the secret back room of a pub? Then head over to the Fox and the Fiddle (280 Bloor St. W) tonight anytime from 8 p.m. ’til close for the Freelancers’ Magical Christmas Hoedown and Karaoke Ball . Cover is only $10 (in the form of a donation drop-off box) and proceeds will go to the Daily Bread Food Bank. Dress pretty. Maybe even shower!

Bring a small wrapped present and walk away with a small wrapped present from a fellow partygoer. As a special weird bonus, the main bar turns into a karaoke wasteland/paradise at 10:30PM, so be ready for that magic!
