Toronto's QUEER Slowdance! - GLITTERature Edition!

RSVP HERE: https://www.facebook.com/events/471425963604951/

❤❤❤ You are cordially invited to Toronto's QUEER SLOWDANCE! - GLITTERature Edition! ❤❤❤

With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to), Toronto Queer Slowdance has all slow songs, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!)

It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful, and why love is not ironic.

Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it would be AWESOME and HAWT. And as this is our "GLITTERature" edition - you are invited to adorn yourself with bronzer, shimmer gel, tiny rhinestones, actual glitter, or basically anything shiny. You are also welcome to dress up like your favourite fictional character! WARNING: Please do not bring pots of glitter to sprinkle, however. The venue gets mad because they'd have to clean it up. Glitter on body is GOOD. Glitter to share is BAD. Thanks for your understanding.

Finally, you do not have to be queer to attend this party, but you must have an open mind, an open heart, and have open arms. Do keep in mind that many of our attendees fall within the LGBTTQIA+ continuum and may or may not be interested in dancing with the "opposite" sex, so if you are stridently straight, this may not be the most receptive community for you. That said, we have a wide plethora of attendees, and it is impossible to know who might show up on any given night.

805 Dovercourt Rd. (1 block North of Bloor, 3 blks. west of Ossington)

We are always looking for designated dancers for our evenings. If you are outgoing, warm, and willing to undertake the very serious duty and responsibility of inviting wallflowers out onto the dancefloor - if in fact, such a prospect gives you great joy - then please contact the organizers at inconsolablecat@hotmail.com.

MAY10

Montreal Strip Spelling Bee! - Eurotrash Edition!

RSVP HERE: https://www.facebook.com/events/2114891628556777/

WARNING: There may be nudity in this show.

The game is played a lot like strip poker, but it's a spelling bee, and it's played in front of a live audience of hooters, hollerers and hecklers who want to see some smart and sexy skin!

As this is our Eurotrash edition, we encourage contestants and audience members to wear the gold, the glossy, the non-buttoned, the sunglassed, the tight and the gaudy. Any contestant who comes in costume, whether half-assed or high-end, will be looked upon more favourably by the judges.

We are also taking contestant sign-ups in advance! But we are limiting early sign-ups to HALF of the allotted ten spellers. Email inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with EUROBEE in the subject line if you are interested in signing up early!
......

Friday, May 10, 2019
Mainline Theatre
3997 Blvd. St-Laurent
(Just south of Duluth - look for the sign with flames painted on it!)

Contestant sign-up at 8:30 PM sharp!
Bee from 9 to midnight
$10 at the door.
(Contestants do not pay cover and get a free drink!)

Please note that we must cap our number of strip-spellers at 10 to ensure an expedient and entertaining evening.

Regretfully, The Mainline is not wheelchair-accessible, as it is up a steep flight of 14 stairs.

APR18

Stand-Up Comedy Karaoke!

RSVP HERE IF YOU LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/events/420177082079417/

Just like regular karaoke, you can sign-up to come up on stage and do a famous comedian's most famous 5-minute bit. A monitor in front of you will feed you lines, and you can see if you have what it takes to kill the audience with laughter!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an experimental event. It might be a delight or a disaster. You may love or loathe being in front of an audience. And for those who are watching, while this is ostensibly comedy, it might not actually be funny. It will however, be fascinating.

ONE NIGHT EVER!
