  • Colbert At The White House

    YouTube took down the video of Colbert roasting Bush due to “copyright infringement” but you can still watch it over at Crooks and Liars here.

    And here is a link to a high quality version via BitTorrent.

  • The Newspaper’s New Web Site

    I’ve been working on The Newspaper’s new website. It’s all up and running now. Check it out.

  • Mexican Fiesta

    [mygal=fiesta]

    Apparently I was the only one who got the whole “this is a Mexican themed party” memo. I shaved special for the event and I even wore sandals–well I tried at least. I accidently brought two left feet. Who knew that taking two pairs of free Malibu branded flip-flops would ever have a downside? Up ’till now those sandals have been, pretty much, non-stop amazing. I know they blew my socks off.

  • Toronto Loves Kenny vs. Spenny

    kenny_spenny.jpg
    Kenny vs. Spenny is quite possibly the funniest Toronto-born comedy on TV since Kids In The Hall. Filmed here, KVS pits “best friends” Kenny Hotz and Spencer “Spenny” Rice against each other in a number of oddball competitions. The contests range from ‘Who Can Stay Naked The Longest’, to ‘Who Do Kids Like The Most’. The lloser gets humiliated on television in a manner of the winner’s choosing.

    As popularity for the show grows, the two stars are finding themselves recognized more and more. Kenny, for example, is at the awkward celebrity phase of not being able to skip the line at The Boat, while the entire line recognizes him and congratulates him on his fine show. “It’s getting crazy. But people are very nice,” says Spenny.

    The show originally aired on CBC but never really found its place there. Eventually the show was pulled and later adopted by Showcase. Spenny explains, “the show was too wild for CBC. Once they accidentally ran one of our promos in the toddler block and they received a lot of complaints.”

    Recently returning to Toronto to film the third season of KVS, Spenny and Kenny were kind enough to answer a few questions I had for them. I warn you, some of the answers they gave were quite offensive. (more…)

  • The Gamekillers

    [mygal=gamekillers]

    Me and Kat met the gamekillers last night. The new Axe campaign has this whole ‘bigger than just a commercial’ thing going on. They played a funny short film about one guy getting his game killed-on, over the course of five dates.

    But the real celebrities: Mr. Open Bar and Mrs. Artichoke Dip!

  • House-Sitting

    [mygal=housesitting]

    I guess we were also kind of cat-sitting. That there in the orange is Watson.

  • Preloved

    [mygal=preloved]

    These pics are a few days late, but still worth posting. It was the same day that we drank in Trinity Bellwoods. Afterwards we hit a party at Preloved. Shit Le Merde DJ’d and some band played also. They served some sangria, two flavours of St. Ambroise, and some vegitarian snacks.

  • Party Posse

  • Holy Trinity

    It seems that drinking in the park season is now on. Oh sweet sweet Trinity Bellwoods.

  • All the covers.

    [mygal=covers]

    I’m finally done my year at the newspaper. Look at all the pretty covers.
    My two favs are of course, the most recent one, and the beer issue. The most recent one is the travel collage.

  • Happy Birthdays

  • Did YOU Get The Memo?

    memorandaposterwestsmall.jpg
    It’s always a delight to see what art Toronto’s newest talent is producing. Student shows, while sometimes hit or miss, are often worth the time. Whether it’s the excitement of seeing their work on the wall for the first time, or that their spirits haven’t yet been crushed by the reality of the art world, artwork made by young people has a certain freshness that is often lacking from more mature artists. That’s why tonight I’m going to be attending the opening reception of the U of T Visual Studies thesis class’s end-of-year show, “Memoranda”.

    “For the last year, third and fourth year students enrolled in U of T’s Visual Studies program have been working collaboratively to organize an exhibition of their artwork, ” writes Elizabeth Underhill in her article for U of T’s student rag, The Newspaper.

    “Memoranda” is on display at 30 St Clair Ave. W. Suite 103, from 11am-5pm, and officially opens Saturday April 8 from 5pm-11pm with an introduction by Associate Chair of Visual Studies Lisa Steele. “Memoranda” continues from 11am-5pm, April 11th,12th and 13th, and closes on the 15th .

    In case anyone else wants me and my girlfriend as their desktop (which would be weird).

  • Incredible Machines!


  • Cam’s Birthday

    [mygal=camsbday]

    Thursday night was spent celebrating another year of Cam, taking long exposure photographs, and crawling Queen. I think I ran into every single customer I’ve ever served. I guess they all eat on college and party on queen. Hip!

  • Omy, it’s Kenny

    [mygal=kenny]

    Saw Kenny on the roof of the drake talking to some rich looking people. He said he had just gotten back to Toronto to film the third season of Kenny vs. Spenny. I was downstairs at the Omy, Magazine launch party and had come up for a smoke.

  • Breathing Class Brand Launches

    breathing-class.jpg
    Although their website is still being constructed, Breathing Class — the newest kids on the Toronto clothing design block — are selling a limited sample run of T-Shirts to anyone smart enough to ask.

    Here are some photos from their release party.

    Until their website jumps off, you can order the shirts via email. To see the available T’s check out their MySpace page. It looks as if they’ve sold out of their men’s sizes, so this might be a female-only affair until further notice.

  • City Hall is Under Attack!

    Actually it’s not under attack. It looks like Toronto’s City Hall is being used in yet another blockbuster movie. You may remember it being blown to pieces in Resident Evil 2.

  • Jet Fueled

    [mygal=jetfuelbigcups]

    It was as if they were afraid we wouldn’t be able to finish 14 kegs fast enough so they equiped us with these massive cups. They had to be two pints of awesome at the least. The party wasn’t quite as nuts as last year where the 13 kegs were done by 11. I think it might have been a younger scene this year and maybe younger people don’t know how to drink beer.

    Here are some more photos.

  • Jet Fuel Kegger

    Tonight I’m going to the massive kegger at Jet Fuel with Kat and Janek and maybe some others. I’ll post pics of course. For now, here are pics from last year and the year before. It’s their 14th year which means 14 kegs. 12 and 13 were pretty out of hand.

  • Elmo Combo

    [mygal=elmo_combo]

    We went to this private birthday party at the el macombo friday night. I didn’t know the birthday girl and I’m not sure I ever met her. The party was in this nice back room at the elmo on the second floor. There were these loverly drapes and couches and plastic martini cups. The DJ said he would do requests but couldn’t even show me his record collection.

    There were some odd people there, people from wayback at UFA. Jon Santos and Nick Piggot were there and that guy who Emily England dated for a while.
