Last night I checked out a hilarious play starring my good friend and awesomely talented actor Ravi Jain, co-starring equally impressive Adam Paolozza.  This play goes through the trials and tribulations of the corporate world and it’s totally out of whack stance on our world economy.  Be prepared to ride a roller-coaster of emotions as you follow these two on their journey from the top of the ladder to the bottom…

Shocking Isn't It?

By Jonathon Brown

Remember before the smoking sections even existed? When it was regular that smoking was everywhere? In the restaurants and bars, of course. But in the dollar store? At the LCBO! While driving with kids? In doctor’s offices! I’ve even heard stories about it in schools. It was clearly an acceptable practice at the time. As more information came forward, a new perception of common sense, safety and courtesy grew.1

Now, we can’t even fathom a mall full of cigarette smoke. Smokers have been banned and relegated to the great outdoors to fidget, and huff and puff a much rougher winter than their cushy, non smoking counterparts who spend their break time at room temperature. Just try and picture that typical 50 year old bus driver hootin’ on his extra strength-death as he boots down the road carting tomoro’s great minds to school. And on some Home Alone vibe, it quickly registers “I DON’T THINK SO.”

Not in the stores, not in the car with kids, not at the bar, not even by the doors of a movie theatre – “Back up and take that habit-on-the-hip somewhere else!”

So now it’s a wonderful world – word to Louis Armstrong. (more…)

Dalit n. 1. A member of the lowest-caste relating to the traditional Hindu caste system – literally translating to “oppressed” or “broken”– is generally used to refer to people who were once known as “untouchables”. (more…)

So this timeline of Jay-Z’s career was featured in the September issue of Exclaim! magazine, but I figured today, the intended release day of The Blueprint 3 and the day of his benefit concert was as good as any to post the full online version here. It’s no UBX, but then again what is?

HONEY JAM.
A summer tradition like very few others in the City of Screwface, the all-female singer/songwriter/superstar showcase affectionately known as Honey Jam has now been going strong for 15 years, no matter the circumstances. It’s a true testament to the commitment, dedication, and resilience of Ebonnie Rowe and all the good sisters and brothers of Phem Phat, as well as the remaining few organizations in this city that genuinely believe in the talent we possess, and will invest time, money, attention, and hope into the slowly-but-surely blossoming careers and amazing-yet-unknown artistry that Toronto has to offer the world.

Living in Montreal for the past five years means I’ve been to some really good parties!! But, even before I moved back to the Dot I’ve been hitting up The Main Ingredient.  This jam has definitely spoiled me!  What can I say, the line up boasts some of the city’s finest DJs, the tunes cater to a sexy mature crowd and the party is rocked at the hassle-free, anti-club district spot, Revival.  It’s a recipe for success and you could be all up in the mix this Saturday with a chance to win 2 free tix to the the one year anniversary of all this goodness..
