The good folks at Warner Music have teamed up with yours truly to give-a-way copies of T.I.'s sixth studio album release "Paper Trail" featuring featuring appearances from John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Kanye West.
If its one thing us TOFLO folk like to do, its dance our asses off! Come on down to Revival tonight for the most eclectic party you will ever experience. Rock mixed with Rap, with a splash of Pop and a dash of Old School - everyone's favorite playlist combined for one night in one place.
The last official weekend of the summer and what can I say, it was filled with amazing things to do around the city.
Amnesia's 9th Anniversary Party with special guests Naughty by Nature. They performed for about a good hour and 15 minutes - money well spent! Check out TOFLO.com's YouTube channel for full video coverage of the performances.
Check out the 2nd Annual ManifesTO's main event coverage at TOFLO.com's photo gallery.
And the suspense continues... based on Mr. Espinet's last email, I really have to wonder is it really still a mystery?
I am not letting the cat out the bag but, we have a strong feeling it's Naughty by Nature and here's why:
If you haven’t got your tickets yet, just rush over to one of the locations listed above… or get it at the door. Everything’s gonna be alright. I gotta run – my boy’s girl is throwing his ish out on the lawn – he got caught messing with other people’s property. His own boy ratted him out. That’s why I do my dirt all by my lonely and make sure I take care of my home business – make sure she’s feels my flow – you know… sorta keep my name written on the kitten. Cause when ish hits the fan, girls act the craziest.
See you tonight. 2 years ago we said let there be LYTE… Tonight, when we let the music play, you’ll witness yet another historical Toronto moment that ONLY Amnesia could provide.
Give me tonight to recuperate, and send me your comments to see if you were right about the special guests at the Jamboree.
Let the music play.
Listen to Starting from Scratch tonight at 5:00 PM on the new FLOW 93.5 FM to find out more!
Advance tickets are still available and there will be tickets sold at the door.

Well, if it's anything Ian Espinet knows how to do, it's building the suspense. Today's installment of "Guess Who's Coming to Amnesia" this Friday continues.
Here are today's hints:
IN THE SPIRIT OF THE GAMES, here are your hints for today...
Let's recap. Here's what you know so far..
There are 2 special surprise guests for this year's Amnesia Anniversary
One is from the genre of hip hop & the other is from the genre of R&B
One is a group
The other is a solo
I'm not telling you which is which...
They are both Grammy award winners...
And they're not Bobby Brown or Ralph Tresvant for all those who have been asking.
Let's add to the knowledge...
The solo artist has a sister that's renowned for her umm... professional activities...
The lead of the group has also become renowned for HIS... umm acting abilities...
The group was the first ever to appear on a prominent urban magazine cover... (arguably the most important R&B magazine ever...)
The solo was a high profile appearance in a certain magazine...
One is ONE OF PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE and ranks in the top 10 of MTV's most nominated artists with 10 nominations...
One ranks in the top 150 most successful R&B artists of all time...
One was responsible for introducing 2 of the 90's most appealing R&B Groups... a female duo and a male trio...
One in addition to having R&B success, has had massive success in dance music too...
Destiny's Child has covered a song penned by one of these artists...
One of the attendees was married to a hip hop group member of massive importance in the 90s... One of the attendees had a hit with one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time - (the UBX or UBR if you will)...

You know they say "imitation is the greatest form of flattery", but we couldn't help but notice with the "NEW" launch of the Talk of Toronto website, their City Guide looks a lot like our Directory.
So some man says that gas prices are going up by 13 cents at midnight because of the "possibility" of hurricane Ike hitting a Texas gas refinery. A mere scare tactic at best!
So like roaches to freshly dropped breadcrumbs we head to our hotels and wreak havoc at the gas stations.
Why do we continue to let these people control our daily lives?

Get out your old school t's, throwback Jordans and your tight-up pants and make your way to KOOL HAUS Friday September 19th, 2008.
Well if it were anytime to make that re-appearance to your local music store (like I, it's been a couple years) now would be a good time.
Kardi's first official album release "Not for Sale", off the heels of Akon's newly established record label Convict Music. Go support a long standing Toronto public figure!
I already got my 4 copies (one for the car, one for the house, one for the office and one to have on hand should I meet someone special ;-) )
Yo peeps - the first installment of the TOFLO.com blog and it's great news.
Talib Kweli will be in the Tdot performing at Downsview Park this Wednesday September 10, 2008. Courtesy of the York Federation of Students. Don't say we never did anything for you! Oh and did we mention it was F-R-E-E!
