Torontoist: Toronto the ______?

Last year's was pretty sweet minus the lack of beer - I forgot how sleepy wine makes me. Also the food is required with a special occasion permit, I didn't realize it was a selling point of the event and I had assumed it was simply the cheapest they could get from a preferred caterer of the Distillery, which can't be cheap at all. As a venue, the Distillery District is amazing, but working with them behind the scenes is a total nightmare. Props to Spacing for making it happen!

Haters. Why you gotta hate?

I believe the correct fill-in-the-blank word is "ambivalent."

"I generally don't like writing event preview posts, and so I only bother for things that I genuinely want to encourage people to attend." You've got a weird way of encouraging people.

I should clarify that 1) although I was disappointed with last year's event, I was (and am) in the minority. (There is a similar discussion taking place at blogTO.) 2) I am still excited about this year's edition, which I am confident will exceed last year's in several important respects. And even if I thought it would be identical to last year's, I'd still go. I generally don't like writing event preview posts, and so I only bother for things that I genuinely want to encourage people to attend.

They should set down a model of a supertall building that was never proposed and will never be built in the middle of the dancefloor just to confuse the drunken douchebags...and because it ain't a party without a giant phallus.

rival - +1 for the link; I'd be howling if I wasn't at work.

-1 for using Joe Clark language. I was thinking about going this year. I've managed to miss every one of these so far.
