The greatest art installation to hit Toronto since that giant deer that was made out of chocolate at Nuit Blanche!

This weekend, acclaimed French fire art troupe Cie Carabosse will slowly set Nathan Phillips Square ablaze when “Nights of Fire” hits Nathan Phillips Square. Music will accompany the performance artists as they light 1,500 clay pots in the square. Married? The romantic ambience makes it a great date destination. Single? It’s a perfect place to meet those oh-so-sexy pyromaniacs!

Video games in concert!
Your favorite themes from classic video games like Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Final Fantasy, and World of Warcraft are getting a Beethoven-style symphonic makeover at Video Games Live on February 9. Live orchestras, choirs, and soloists will perform the theme music from these and other classic games while accompanied by special effects and synchronized lighting!
Tickets cost $79.50. A bit pricey, but you’ve probably got a lot of money saved anyway, since you’ve never had a girlfriend.

‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

There has been a very sad and unfortunate trend occurring as of late. No, I’m not talking about stock market trends or the re-emergence of stirrup pants! I am talking about recent epidemic of drug overdosagery that has occurred amongst my Tiger Beat crushes of the ‘90s. Last week marked the untimely passing of Brad Renfro, who appeared in 1994’s teen adventure “Tom and Huck” and whose face I consistently taped against my pillow while practicing my make-out techniques. On Tuesday Heath Ledger, who starred in 1999’s “10 Things I Hate About You”, as well as my delusional prom fantasies, died in New York City. I reacted to this news with equal parts devastation and fear; is anyone familiar with the saying, “everything happens in threes? I can only pray that the following people make it through the week:
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
DJ’s Boyfriend on Full House
Zack Morris
Jaleel White (when he played Stephan Urkelle, not Steve Urkel)
Devon Sawa
So “Glad” they’re back!
Children need heroes. An essential part of growing up is choosing a special someone to look up to, one person that you aspire to be. Little Johnny admires his father. Ellen Sue looks up to her teacher. As a child, I was lucky enough as a kid to have seven heroes. These heroes went by the names of BLAZE, LASER, THUNDER, SIREN, NITRO, TURBO and ICE!
Yes, I am talking about the American Gladiators. In case you need a refresher, The Gladiators were an elite group of highly trained combatants charged with the task of preventing contestants from collecting cash and prizes—and doing so with their lives (not to mention their L.A. Gear high tops.) I was skeptical when I heard that NBC was attempting to revive the American Gladiator franchise – how would the glory days of foam-tipped battle translate to a post-9/11 society? Luckily, NBC was wise to the fact that they shouldn’t mess with the tried-and-true Gladiator formula, and changed very little about the show. Why mess with perfect television? And of course, they were rewarded with a lion’s share of the ratings. The show is still AMAZING – which got me thinking. Might one deduce that higher ratings are directly proportional to the amount of people getting the crap beat out of them by foam instruments of destruction? If so…

That's all! Have a great weekend entertaining guests!
