The Party Politic. I'm throwing a party. Sort of. :

This week, in The Grid, it’s me talking about how and why we (don’t) feel safe on the streets or in bars, and the process of what it was like organizing an afterparty for a nu-wave gurl movement. And how I relate. And why it’s important. It’s tomorrow. Come. Dance. (But please ignore the column title. It makes me cringe.)

Friday Night Lights & The House Party. Part II.

Friday Night Lights & The House Party. Part II. :

Let’s play “Where’s Paul?” These rad kids opened up their mansion of a flophouse to host an alternative light source party thing. This is what happened. For The Grid.

{ Ginger Pride }

This is RANGA: a party for redheads and their admirers. So much funness. The comments also got a bit fuckery, but whatevs. Probably first and last time I respond back to these queens who want to keep nailing me to the same cross. In The Grid. Pictures taken on disposables. Of course.

I have been thinking about HIV since the age of 13. This is the first time I wrote why:

The Canadian Association for AIDS Research held its second annual gala to raise awareness for the HIV/AIDS cause among younger people. There are more words and experiences that, one day, I will find a way to say. In The Grid.

“Thanks for coming out. I hope you all by condos. I’m sure there’s enough for everyone. This song is about drugs.”

- And that’s how Eight and a Half’s frontman, Dave Hamelin, sells you condos, kids. In neighbourhoods that… probably don’t need it? Anyway, see pretty renderings and my two-bit iPhone photos. Oh, and meet the Wizard of Oz. In The Grid.

{ Your FOMO is showing }

This video is the only reason I need to convince you that you’d want to click and read my print column on Toronto’s secret party societies, and, well, secrets (and liiiies?) in general. (Or because you don’t know what the hell FOMO stands for.)

NEW BAR ALERT + is West Queen West dead?

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:08:00 -0400

NEW BAR ALERT + is West Queen West dead?:

This owner gave me the melodramz because he didn’t want me to write about his new bar. Fair enough; I made my concessions. There was this whole bit about resurrection - anyway the whole tone of the story was fucked as a result. And it ran anyway. (If you care, but you probably don’t.)

Where to put a red-light district in Toronto?

Where to put a red-light district in Toronto?:

Not sure if you’d hate me for (sort of) doing what I say we shouldn’t be, but the conversation about this terrible idea has been missing the point entirely. For The Grid.

Women renting dresses. Buying jewellery. Buying chocolate. Whatever. With cocktail service. This week’s column, in The Grid.
