Late last week, Torontoist had the chance to attend an exclusive tasting of the much sought-after, but until now relatively difficult to obtain, miracle fruit—the famous berry that, once ingested, makes sour and bitter foods taste sweet. The berry's properties have been known to Western scientists since as early as the eighteenth century, but it has nevertheless kept a fairly low profile until the past few years when "flavour-tripping parties," like the one we attended, started cropping up everywhere. In late 2008, the berries even made a cameo in an episode of CSI: NY where a flavour-tripper died after unknowingly drinking poison (this is TV; they actually aren't that potent). Curious Toronto gastronauts will be happy to know they don't need to wait any longer to get their fix.

Tyler Clark Burke is bringing her Santa Cruz party to Montréal for the first time ever this weekend, and she's trying to rustle up some Toronto talent and cart 'em over in her van (transportation free of charge, accommodations not so much). Sasha Van Bon Bon, members of Spiral Beach, Amanda Burt, Jeremy Stewart, and a few others have signed up to take part in the party, and Burke's still got some room in her van for four more creative types ("local artists who are rabblerousers, stunt women and men alike, portrait artists [however you define this], and those with better ideas too") looking to fill out the Santa Cruz roster.

As everyone’s favourite girl-about-town Tyler Clark Burke says, “This is really complicated.”

We think we've figured out the secret to Tyler Clark Burke's success. Cram as many party ideas into one event as possible. Case in point is her new old country, '70s rock social Lang Thang in the backroom of the Sparrow (92 Ossington) on Wednesday night.

Yes we know it's awfully presumptous of us to assume that Ignatieff could not just win the Liberal leadership but lead the party back into 24 Sussex Drive.

For those of you unfamiliar, PQ is a performance magazine where writers read their fiction, feature stories - even advice columns - on stage in front of a live audience. Coming around only four times a year (it's right there in the title!), The Torontoist looks forward to it like our mom looks forward to gardening season.

Also on the bill are Shawn Hewitt and the Illuminati. Lee's is the venue. Some might even call it a palace. Torontoist would not, though they do have nice bar lights.
