For the 3rd night in a row, Cheap Queers will take over the stage at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.

The show promises two jam-packed acts of mixed entertainment, ranging from comics and music to burlesque acts and video art, all queer, all for only $6.48.

Last night's show was heartwarming and hilarious. I'd highly recommend you stop in tonight as word is the shockingly stimulating Miss Keith Cole will be hosting the extravaganza. The show kicks off at 8:30PM. Worth every penny.

The Artwherk! Collective and the Art Gallery of Ontario have teamed up to make a little history in time for Pride Toronto 2009. For the first time in its history, the AGO is hosting an official Pride Toronto event: Artwherk!

The annual Artwherk! exhibit showcases the work of young queer artists and runs through Pride week. This year, the artwork is on display in the AGO's atrium, Walker's Court. The magnificent space in the newly designed AGO shines a spotlight on local queer talent by not only honoring the artists, but making their work very accessible to all visitors of the gallery.

Pride Toronto 2009 officially kicked off last night with a launch party at Woody's. MC'd by the always hilarious, Deb 'Dirk' Pearce of Proud FM, the event attracted media from all over the city to mix and mingle with the organizers, volunteers and talents of Pride Toronto.

There are a few great diners in Roncesvalles worth checking out, and Aris Place is definitely one of them. Their souvlaki and their fish and chips are decent bang-for-your-buck diner eats, and I'm really tempted to go back for the "mega breakfast" next time I'm in the hood.

Voglie Risto in Toronto's Church Wellesley Village neighbourhood serves up modern Italian fare, and fab martinis. Tempted by positive reviews from friends, I decided to stop in with a date for dinner to sample from their Thursday night $3-$6 tapas list.

A few subway stops west from the heart of cheap sushi-land (aka The Annex), lies Mazz Sushi in Bloorcourt Village. The fish is fresh, and the menu extensive. The service is prompt, and the prices are reasonable.
