Thursday night I went down to Circa and attended the, “Give Money, Make Change” fundraiser benefiting The Remix Project. For those unfamiliar, The Remix Project is an arts, cultural and life skills incubator serving young people located in the heart of Toronto that works to help some of the most gifted but vulnerable young people in the city to realize their own creative and business-minded potential.
The “Give Money, Make Change” event was an effort to raise funds for Remix and help save the program. With a live performance by some of its former participants, a display of artwork from those who have come through the program, a host of sponsors and a silent auction they were able to generate some serious support.
Slakah The Beatchild also held his album release party marking the release of “Soul Movement: Volume 1”. It was a full house at The Revival that night a great line of guest artists including: Tona, Ayah Yousef, Divine Brown, Ray Robinson, D.O., and Melanie D. joined Slakah on stage. If you missed it, you can watch the full show On Demand at www.toflo.com/tv.
Friday night, KRS-One graced The Opera House in an event held by The Wildcore. As expected, KRS brought the house down rocking classics like, “My Philosophy”, “The Sound of the Police”, and “Love’s Gonna Get You”. Professor D, The Wildcore, and Scott Jackson performed. Michie Mee was also in attendance.
On Saturday, my family and I made it over to “Woofstock” - the largest outdoor festival for dogs in all of North America. Woofstock is the go-to event of the year for dogs and the people who love them. More than 200 companies offered the latest in every conceivable doggie indulgence - pooch paraphernalia from food, fashion and furnishings, to toys, gadgets and unique pet services.
