It was dark, there were naked ladies on the screen, and we couldn’t get Avenue Q’s "The Internet is for Porn" out of our head. We were supposed to be covering Good For Her's Feminist Porn Awards, but everything—in our infantile mind, that is—was coming up dirty, singing pseudo-Muppets.

A month ago, Torontoist noticed a poster showing an interesting building that was supposed to go up over the Berkeley Church. Sadly (for some), this place was not meant to be. City bylaws got in the way of that stacked behemoth, but have no fear, architecture enthusiasts! The building pictured above has complete city support and will be an undeniably controversial sight at Richmond and Widmer streets on the former lot belonging to Joker Nightclub in the Entertainment District.

According to the National Post, the Berkeley Playing Fields—the high-rise condo development that Torontoist reported on recently—is not going to happen.

Every so often a building is unveiled that causes Torontoist to twitter with preteen enthusiasm: "OMGz!!! WTF is that!? That is sooooo cool!!!" The ROM Crystal is one of them, the AGO is too, and so is the building pictured to the right. That building wasn’t so much unveiled as stumbled upon by Urban Toronto Forum member current, who saw the poster and thought it seemed pretty neat. But wait just one second—where’s the website? Where’s the contact info? Is this for real?

The ever-excellent Spacing is celebrating the launch of their latest issue––an "eco-friendly" one, pictured above––next Monday, December 3rd.

If you're not already exhausted on September 7 after trying to check out M.I.A., Stars, The Hidden Cameras, k-os, and You Say Party! We Say Die! playing for free for U of T and Ryerson's frosh, why not throw in a little free Yeah Yeah Yeahs for good measure?

Early in May, Torontoist made it out to a free Long Winters concert at the Berkley Church. The show was terrific—we scored John Roderick's kazoo!—and, as it turns out, was just one episode in a series of shows put on for an HDTV channel in the States called called Rave HD. The aim of the show is to be something like "Sessions at West 45th," with a focus on capturing up-and-coming indie bands before they "make it big."

As the weather starts to get lovely, a band name has never seemed more appropriate. The Long Winters are playing a free show tonight in two hours and there are still (apparently) forty tickets left that they can give away. (We originally read about it on Chromewaves but were waiting to hear if there were enough tickets left to let our readers know.) If last October's show at Lee's was any indication, tonight's performance should be absolutely spectacular.

We've admired the work done by the people at WorldChanging for a long time. The blog has opened our eyes to the hundreds if not thousands of creative solutions out there to some very pressing problems. The fact that the blog is cautiously optimistic about the possibility of a green future is refreshing.

Bloggers, festivalgoers, volunteers and Yorkville shopkeepers can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but there's still plenty of fest left.
