I am conveniently going to be in Toronto for a visit that weekend, so I will likely drop by with me lass and a few mates... Hope to meet some of you there!

Looks like it should be a good time! Too far for us cats, however, and bad scheduling to boot. Have a great time, though, and please report back here on how the event came off.

Well, this event happenned this past Saturday night, and it was a good time!

There was a good size crowd out, enough people to keep the smallish hall looking full, but not so crowded as to make things feel claustriphobic... the drinks were plentiful and not too overpriced ( consistant with regular bar pricing, and not highly overinflated in other words), and the prizes and giveaways were amusing and fun... There was a raffle, and a 50/50 draw, tickets were $5 for one, $10 for three or $20 got you a boob load of tickets ($20 got you the privelage of measuring your strip of tickets around the pluntiful chest of the bellydancer while she shimmied), and at the end of the night, there was a contest for best dressed pirate, conveniently one by yours truly....

The band was good, the other acts but humourous and entertaining, and all around it was just a good fun light hearted night perfect for staying warm during a long cold Toronto night... So much good I can say about this fundraiser for the Toronto Pirate Festival... But space and time limit me....
