ART: Some of Toronto’s favourite graphic artists make asses of themselves in an exhibit called “I Know That Butt” opening at the Cameron House tonight (on until March 28). Curator Nancy Draws invited thirty artists (including former Torontoist contributor Kevin McBride, featured above) to have their way with a series of moulded mannequin butts and the results are ass-tounding. Hang around to hear the Warped 45s whose Wednesday residency has been extended through March. Bottoms up! Cameron Public House (408 Queen Street West), 7–9 p.m., FREE.

Every weekday morning, bright and early, we feature a photo (or two) from a photographer in the Torontoist Flickr Pool. It's our way of giving the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention that they deserve.

Like much of Toronto, we've been a little ROMsessed this week with the opening of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, and now that the public has been allowed in for a peek while it's empty (until June 10), some fantastic photos continue to be added to the Torontoist Flickr pool. With all the hype around our jagged new conversation piece, what tickles us most is how Torontonians are talking about and celebrating architecture a lot more these days—and that people are rediscovering the ROM. Some of those children gazing up into Libeskind's deconstuctionist crystal will undoubtedly be inspired to build more of Toronto's great structures in the decades to come.

Every weekday, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome. View the full ladder here. Some highlights: Kensington Market turns out the lights on Nuit Blanche (118 - 95): Dizzy from the smell of fish, Nuit Blanche stumbles in this epic battle of nocturnal versus somnambulant. Al Waxman named MVP of Kensington for numerous slam dunks. IllegalSigns.ca revokes Dufferin Grove's permit (109 - 106): In yesterday's closest match, Dufferin Grove's bonfires, farmer's market and cob thing are not enough to tackle IllegalSigns.ca, who points out the gaudiness of the Dufferin Mall across the street to distract the park and score a tie-breaking three pointer with just seconds left on the clock. Today's matches, Region I + II, Quarterfinals:

St. Clair ROW vs. CN Tower Ice
Toronto Islands vs. Jane Jacobs
Condo Boom vs. 416
Anagram Map vs. ROM Crystal

Every weekday, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome. View the full ladder here. Some highlights: ROM Crystal's sharp edges cut Miller's Hair (104 - 101): In the closest and most depressing match of the tournament so far, a napkin sketch gone wild shears the mayor's golden locks from atop his head. The late game upset may qualify for a recount on suspicions of steroid use, yes? Toronto Islands sink The Beaches (95 - 91): The ultimate NIMBY showdown sees the neighbourhood with an identity crisis get denied like a cross-harbour bridge. Today's matches, Region III + IV, 3rd Round:

The Annex vs. Island Airport
Leafs Fans vs. Bike Lanes
Taste of the Danforth vs. Turnitin.com

We're guessing most of you are hungover from St. Patrick's Day. Some of us are too. But still, we're going to muddle on through our green haze and give you (drum roll please...) this Week In -ists.

Each weekday for the next two weeks, Torontoist is facing off local memes and blog drama in a tournament-style ladder and you, the reader, decide the outcome. March Madness begins today! View the current ladder here. Suggestions for next year will be recorded! Today's matches, Region I, 1st Round:

The Giambroney vs. One Cent Now
St. Clair ROW vs. York Subway
The Gardiner vs. CN Tower Ice
Starbucks vs. Parkdale
The Beach vs. The Beaches
Toronto Islands vs. The Docks
Dundas Square vs. Jane Jacobs
Megabins vs. Gas Power Plant

Because there are only a handful of Canadians in the NCAA, (and who really cares about college basketball, anyway?) we thought we'd cook up a little March Madness of our own - Toronto style. We have created a tournament ladder of recent memes, blog drama and local news and for the next two weeks, you will decide the winner of each match. Sure beats betting on Kansas State.

Believe it or not, the Raptors once again lost in disgraceful fashion last night. After clawing their way back to hold the ball for the game-winning shot, RESERVE point guard, Milt Palacio elected to attempt an off-balance, heavily guarded lay-up instead of calling a timeout. Same old Raptor story.
