Toronto's QUEER Slowdance! - Nights in White Satin Edition!
RSVP HERE:
https://www.facebook.com/events/397250060935217/
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. As this event competes with Toronto's Nuit
Blanche, we urge you all to wear something white! Or wear a light!
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.

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.

Montreal Strip Spelling Bee! - OMGoth Edition!
RSVP HERE:
https://www.facebook.com/events/508891669685273/
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 OMGoth edition, we encourage contestants and audience
members to wear black, to be gloomy and glum, to look like they are
attending a nocturnal funeral. 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 GOTHBEE in the subject line if you are
interested in signing up early!
