Celebrate Day of the Dead With The RSS (and Torontoist!)
Our friends over at The Royal Sarcophagus Society are throwing one of their big events of the year on Friday. Join them for their fourth annual autumnal soiree Dia De Los Muertos, from 8pm to 2am at DeLeon White Gallery, 1139 College St. The night promises art, music, magic, tequila, dancing, piñatas and loads of other good stuff. There will be live performances by Kevin Quain, Mysterion the Mindreader, The Porcelain Doll, and others. It’s $10 for RSS members and $15 for the public. Tickets are available at the door, but Torontoist and the RSS have teamed up for a contest to celebrate the occasion.
As it’s the Day of the Dead, post your best poem about a dead loved one (Grandma, John Lennon, your pet goldfish that you flushed down the toilet in grade three) in the comments. The winner will get:
2 tickets to the event
13 Rooms October to October art calendar
Handmade Piraty Purse from Heretic Design
(Total value is $75, prizes to be picked up at the event only.)
Here’s how it will work: Write your entries in the comments, and make sure to enter a valid email address where we can reach you in that pretty ‘Email Address’ box when you comment (don’t worry – we won’t sell or share it with anyone). We’ll accept submissions until Thursday evening, and contact the winner at that time. The poems can be in any format. Someone please write a limerick.
