		<title>Billy Twinkle is No Little Star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<img width="100" height="21" src="http://torontoist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/stars-4andahalf1.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" title="" /><p class="rss_dek">If you've never seen one of Ronnie Burkett's puppet shows, you absolutely owe it to yourself to book a ticket to <a href="http://factorytheatre.ca/1011season.htm"><em>Billy Twinkle: Requiem for a Golden Boy</em></a>, which opened last week at Factory Theatre. For the uninitiated, Burkett is an internationally respected and award-winning puppeteer who's made a career out of writing and performing (and creating the marionettes for) adult puppet shows.  We're not quite in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yrI01TOlOE"><em>Meet the Feebles</em></a> territory, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk89rGy_E3s">Casey and Finnegan</a> this ain't. Think along the lines of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvH3ykNDtpY">what John Cusack's character was up to</a> in <em>Being John Malkovich</em>, and you're close.

		<title>Stolen Hard Drive Contains Hilarity, Man&#8217;s Soul</title>

These flyers have been plastered all over Kensington Market for a few days now, pleading with pedestrians to surrender any and all guilty knowledge of the whereabouts of two hard drives with the only copies of some kind of movie, starring [...]</p>]]></description>

		<title>Giant Puppets on Fire!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<img width="100" height="100" src="http://torontoist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2007_12_12Solstice21-100x100.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" title="" /><p class="rss_dek">That headline is only slightly misleading in order to alert you to Kensington&#8217;s annual Festival of Lights, celebrating the winter Solstice tomorrow night. But we can assure you that there will be giant puppets and there will be fire, if not necessarily at the same time. Starting at 6:00 p.m, revelers will gather at the [...]</p>]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Like the Muppets, Only Hornier</title>

But their show has more in common with Meet the Feebles than Lambchop&#8217;s Play-Along. True to its name, the show is set up cabaret-style, with different puppet characters coming onstage (alongside their various puppeteers, decked out in adorable lululemon blacks) and [...]</p>]]></description>
