#5 TICKLING THE IVORY at the COCK
An intimate but mighty space that has also become a host piano bar, holding court in place of the recently departed Statlers which had been just a few doors up the street. Nestled in on the upper level of 461 Church Street, Cock bar is part of the Flash complex so it has many uses, but many events including the upcoming birthday party for piano bar entertainer James Quigley’s birthday celebration aptly titled “Those Were The Days” on September 7 @ 7pm.
#4 DANCE CAMP (REWIND)
After years in hiatus, Dance Camp is back with Scarlett Bobo, Miss Steak, DJ Aeryn Pfaff and hosted by Rolyn Chambers. Kick it up on the newly renovated Buddies in Bad Times Theatre dance floor alongside gogo dancing campers and sexy-ass beats. September 14 @ 10:30pm.
#3 SET YOURCOYOTE JOCKS ON THE LOOSE!
Jocks are not just for summer you know? A snug pair of Coyote Jocks fit seamlessly under a pair of jeans and you'll understand why they're on everyone's hips, not to mention showing up on hot male models at queer events around the city. The Toronto based outfit shoots much of their models in the Toronto area which you can view on their website.
#2 TRIVIA NIGHT at NORTH AMERICA’S OLDEST QUEER BOOKSTORE

#1 BELLINI’S BREW soon at WOODY’S
Yes, it’s true, comedian Paul Bellini has a micro-brew named after him, a Wheat Ale that is as peachy (and cheeky!) as he is! Join Paul and drag star Heroine Marks at Woody’s on Church Street, September 15th at 9pm for the start of what I hope is the “Make mine a Bellini!” campaign!
