It's hard out there for a scenester these days. So many parties, so many DJs, so many Next Big Things... and so few brain cells to spare. We all know how important it is to like the right stuff, but between finding hot new ways to wear neon headgear (hint: there aren't any) and figuring out which prescription drugs don't mix, who has the mental energy to figure what exactly that stuff is?

Torontoist is one of fourteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Once a week, the editors of each site—from LAist to Londonist—compile some of their most interesting posts into a brief blurb. It's Elsewhere In The Ist-A-Verse, and it appears, across the network, every Sunday.

Move over Red Bull there's a new energy drink on the market, and with the Toronto skyline emblazoned on each can Skyline has local pride as a selling point. The drink is a "healthy, lightly-carbonated Premium Beverage designed as a great tasting alternative choice as a source of energy. Possessing a tropical berry flavor, its unique colour gives it a smooth neon-red glow." It has guarana, royal jelly, maca root and ginseng extract.

Yeah, OK, so the sponsor’s name precedes the name of the event, the website is klunky, there’s a disheartening absence of b-girls in the lineup of dancers, and the strict no-photos rule screams cheesy-DVD-release-TBA, but where else in Toronto, besides the (Red Bull) King Of The Ring, are you going to see this much b-boying this Sunday?

Some cram for exams and stay up all night drinking Red Bull writing essays. Art school kids have to get their stuff together and do thesis shows. Like Memoranda, the U of T Fine Arts thesis show opening tommorow night 8 pm at 30 St. Clair West (running until the 15th). There's also Descry, the Ryerson Image Arts student show at the Steamwhistle gallery until the end of the month. We'll keep our ear to the ground for any other end-of-term shows but honestly though all the cool kids have their thesis projects online. Like Ahmed El-Khuffash of Envision Toronto, which happens to be his 4th year Image Arts thesis project and really really awesome.

It's bad enough that they've ruined two otherwise cute and fuel-efficient automobiles, but then they had to go and park them smack in the middle of College Street, where walkers by, enjoying a Sunday stroll, had no choice but to gaze upon these blighty monstrosities. They're part of Red Bull's student marketeer (read: slave) campaign, an endeavour that invites student 'energy team' members to "Build awareness, trial and understanding of Red Bull amongst consumers (on and off campus)," in exchange for a few bucks, and an exceedingly creepy set of wheels. Apparently the Red Bull Mini has been making its way around Toronto, scaring women and children, and leaving Paris and Britney ranting with jealousy. What's next? Bikini-clad girls driving around in fish tank trucks in the middle of winter? Oh never mind.
