After taking the summer off from blogging, I am officially back.
I’ve decided that autumn, is in truth, my new year. As the weather cools down, the work load mounts, and a barrage of openings and season launches hit the city, I am filled with a new sense of drive and inspiration for all those projects that slowed down with the hot steamy weather. Autumn is a new beginning.
Yeah, ok but seriously, what isn’t happening this week? It’s no wonder that everyone I meet has that frantic little look in their eye. If they’re not working their ass off, then they’re desperately trying to figure out what they should do this week.
If you’re feeling truly ambitious here’s a little list of ideas:
Tuesday, Sep 30
HUMDINGER – A Fundraising Smorgasbord
Great Hall – 1087 Queen West
7:30 – 11:pm
Susanna Hood is one of Toronto’s most unique performance artists and Mike Tong does some of the best catering in the city. The other acts looks great and for $10 who wouldn’t want to support them?
Performances by
Susanna Hood, Nial Perera, Christine Duncan and The Elemental Choir
Food by Mike Tong
DJ Chandra Bulucon
Wednesday, Oct 1
DEMON BLOG – OPENING PARTY
*Hotshot – 181 Augusta
8:pm – midnight
Think $3 beers, bad boy art by the likes of Demon Claw’s band member Jeff Clarke and Vice Magazine staffer Tim McCready. Think of this as a debaucherous way to appreciate art.

STEERS & QUEERS
Dakota Tavern

I love my burlesque and my boys, throw in a little dirty line dancing and I’m happy to stay up late on a school night.

Get your sleep because you’ll be staying up late for Nuit Blanche on Saturday….
