Two months ago, I Want Rhythm organizer Nicole Stoffman was just another former Degrassi star-turned-crooner of French torch songs, eagerly handing out "Let's dance in the street!" flyers to people leaving Spacing's not-a-mayoral-debate. Now, five installments of I Want Rhythm later (having been written up on Torontoist and the Spacing Wire multiple times, as well as in the "real media"), Nicole is one of Toronto's new "It" girls of public space interventionism.

Once a month Torontoist would like to encourage you to drag yourself off the couch and across the room to that nice, comfy swivel chair in front of your computer, to experience something from the wonderful world of streaming. Anyone who's visited YouTube or eBaum's World knows how gratifying watching two Asian kids lipsynch to Jessica Simpson can be! So in the interest of expanding your horizons (or at least giving you some way to kill time at the office without actually having to do any work), we'll find some interesting, funny, or just plain stupid and entertaining way to amuse yourself with your computer (without the need for pornography).

It's an invitation across the nation; a chance for folks to meet. Next Sunday, November 19th, multi-disciplinary artist Nicole Stoffman's fifth I Want Rhythm happening / installation / dance party will be shaking its groove thang starting on the front steps of the Church of the Redeemer at Avenue and Bloor. I Want Rhythm is a project Stoffman, an actor, singer and dancer, initiated this September in an attempt to reclaim public space. Previous I Want Rhythms have toe-tapped their way through Queen West, the Annex and Kensington Market.

So hot you're considering stripping down to unmentionables? And jumping into a fountain? Torontoist hears you, and recommend stopping here first.

It's incredible to think back to what you looked like at the high school prom; youthful, buoyant, fresh-faced, stuff like that. Take that image - add about 1000 gallons of beer, twice as many cigarettes, a tonne of scarring sexual experiences and at least 20 pounds - and here you are today!

Rufus Wainwright, the man, the messiah, the DVD.

There’s no need to turn up the volume at Kubo Radio because they are cranking out the Asian fusion eats, treats, rock, soul and kung fu all at once. In fact it’s a bit hard to even keep up.  Our very cute waiter sports a tee that says “Dim Sum Fooey” and in between taking orders and serving a full house, he still manages to find the time to dance with his co-worker in the back of the spacious restaurant.  How cute is that?  Even more so is the smart fusion of not just great food, but excellent service and good music (starting with Cheap Trick’s classic “I Want You to Want Me” and getting better from there…though a slight bit too loud) – there’s even kung fu movies playing on some of the monitors on the wall – making this a fun an alive spot on the Queen East strip in Leslieville.
