Weekend Ideas

PEER PRESSURE @ Drake Underground

Kinda looks like Davy Crockett

THURSDAY

SDTC’s French Kiss writer Denise Dias will be hosting après work cocktails in the Drake Lounge. Start your weekend off with class, French class / mixed with Soul.
7PM

SingStar Night

Think you’re a rock star? Prove it by belting out your favourite tune onstage at PlayStation’s SingStar Night. You may even take home the coveted grand prize as top performer. I suggest you start practicing RIGHT NOW.
Revival
783 College Street
9PM

Dance Like You Fuck!

Everyone seems to be digging dancing like their f*cking. Face down, a** up…that’s the way we like to f*ck, I mean dance.
Strangelove
587 College Street
9PM

However, before you dance like you f*ck, perhaps some foreplay is in order. All Caribana parties are boasting to be THE BIGGEST CARIBANA PARTY. CIRCA can hold 5000, Level 3000, Lakeshore 10 000, Olympic Island 7,000,000. Crazy.
Foreplay @ Level
102 Peter St

FRIDAY

Room Party at The Boat is hosted by this guy(s)

He’s our favourite, especially when he’s a giggling baby. His name is Anthony Gerace and he’s been on our site as the Out of Control Party Pic longer than ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

So, if I haven’t sold you on ROOM PARTY with this photo alone, I blame the intrusive tiger.
In the room they play stuff like, YELLE / THE GOSSIP / Le TIGRE / ARCADE FIRE / JOY DIVISION / YOUNG FLUX
158 Augusta
$5

People are being bussed in from Detroit by the HUNDREDS for KARIBANA OLD SKOOL
(Rule…if you ever want to be really badass, substitute a “K” for a “C”…kool?)
Empire Lounge
10 – 3:30
50 Cumberland

South down at CIRCA you best be shaking your booty. Ultimate booty call is best achieved if you dance in the doggy style position, and with quick ass reflexes, but slow leg movements, shift lower and lower, until you are nearly wiping the floor and then start to rise with some serious pelvic thrusts, if you are feeling daring than stick your hands out front and pretend you are either pushing a wall, riding a horse or waterskiing.

Rump it, bump it, and wiggle that junk in your backseat trunk.

SATURDAY

PEER PRESSURE @ Drake Underground
The boys who single handedly wave their hands and Montreal follows in an enormous electro hipster mob scene will be in the Underground. There’s so much dancing this weekend – if you haven’t exercised in a month, you can probably burn like 6000 calories this weekend drinking vodka and hitting up the numerous parties.

Follow the white rabbit and he’ll lead you to the Red Foxx.
Next weekend TIME festival will be happening at Sunnyside Pavillion, down by our beautiful beach. Soul wax, A-trak, Matthew Dear; a night not to be missed. BUT if you are going to miss it, then go to the Pre-Party this Saturday.

Back to the Future Dance Party!!!
Shimmy in Marty McFly sneakers and Doc wigs to 1950s and 1980s pop spun by the Goin’ Steady crew.
Remember that when the lightning hits the clock tower at 10:04pm you should channel it into the flux capacitator.

The Boat
158 Augusta Ave.
10pm-3am

The BIG Parade
The lakeshore will come alive with costumes, bands, half nakedness, enormous floats and hot hot revelry. I’d be interested to know what’s bigger Pride or Caribana? Which gets more traffic from the States? Either way, if you are planning on a lazy spontaneous road trip and want to take the Gardiner Expressway – fuggedaboutit. www.caribanafestival.com

SUNDAY

Kardinall Offishall and Estelle will be at CiRCA; that’s enough info to buy a ticket pronto.
How many people can you pack in a club?

Birdtown and Swanville, our favourite bevvy of fun theatre chicks, is putting on a play about quirky things they’ve found:
Like a purple fingernail, found inside a ziploc baggie, found inside a garish elephant purse, found in St. Mary’s, Ontario. Gotta be a story there.
