Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
Strap on your tux or taffeta this Friday, February 1 and head down to WhipperSnapper Gallery (587A College Street) for Let's Get Hitched.
The youth art collective throws notoriously awesome shindigs: "Whippersnapper openings are essentially hip house parties," we said in an article about their last exhibit Push It: "Think Pitchfork-approved background music, College kids in tortoise-shell glasses, and red wine in plastic cups." All the cool kids are going, so why aren't you?
Guests at Let's Get Hitched are encouraged to come as their favourite wedding personality, like the creepy uncle, the slutty cousin, or the wedding crasher. Tickets are $8 for members and $10 for non-members, but memberships are available at the door for $5 and get you a free drink that evening—a pretty sweet deal! Arrive by midnight or you'll miss the I do's.

no offense to those torontoist.com readers which fit the demographic, but
"Think Pitchfork-approved background music, College kids in tortoise-shell glasses, and red wine in plastic cups."
does not sell the party for me ... actually it make me want to run in the complete opposite direction.
AnarchX: Maybe the author was making fun of the whippersnapper gallery. It kind of seems that way.
I think some details are missing here. It's written up as if it is going to be a party, but it must be an opening for an art show.
Ben - Can't it be both?
I believe it's more a party than art opening, but I guess you'll just have to go and find out.
And as for the party description, I think both Sarah and I were being a bit facetious.
I've decided, based on the aforementioned description, that today's "hip" is the exact opposite of "cool."
You think about that one.
Here's the Facebook event listing.
