October 13 & 14

    I made pumpkin seeds a la last week's post 

"You're going to be inedible soon. I better wander away."

    However, instead of staying diligent I had some holiday-rum and I let them burn. They were terrible. Make sure your time isn't being occupied elsewhere when you tackle this snack. (p.s. I ate them anyways because I'm a sad and stubborn person).




Saturday

Capital City Cabaret

    You never knew this town had so much burlesque, did you? Damn, you bureaucrats get down.
    St Brigid's Centre for the Arts is hosting Toronto's vaudeville legends, Parker & Seville, and burlesque, boylesque, cabaret, comedy, sideshow, and vaudeville. Dress up nicely, for goodness sake, and get ready to dance between the pews. There's an amazing lineup of entertainers (see their Facebook for details) and varied acts such as fire-breathing, belly-dancing, a painted lady, a hoop dance, juggling, and a god damn cash bar.
    The following morning there will be a pancake breakfast (at 10am, $5.00). These two events are not related.

To be honest, you guys, I'm not actually sure how burlesque works.

St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts, 302 St Patrick Street. 9p.m. $25 in advance (online, at Auntie Loo's Treats , or The Record Shaap), or here, here , or here. $30 at the door.

Ottawa's first Brewery Market

Like a Farmer's Market where the vegetables/meats/confectioneries are beer.
I really don't know what else you'd need to know.


   Let's see: 10 breweries from the Ottawa region, an opportunity to learn about local beer, sometimes there are specialty beers. Anyways. Brewery Market.

1000 Wellingston Street West. 12pm-8pm. Free Admission.

Sunday

A Curious Craft Show & Swap

    From the info site: “A curious craft show presents over 30 fabulous local artists, designers, makers and creators where you will find unique hand crafted treats from art and accessories to housewares and kid's stuff. We will also feature our popular "Crafter's Swap" — Everyone is welcome to bring any crafting tools or supplies no longer needed and can leave them at the table to swap for free! Any craft goes, just bring it in and give someone else the opportunity to pick up a new skill. Then help yourself to that jar of buttons or set of paintbrushes and go home inspired to create.”
    This is another one of those events that I can't find the admission price for so bring $10 and hope for the best.

Jack Purcell Community Centre, 320 Jack Purcell Lane. 11 a.m. 613-564-1050


All Weekend

Sexapalooza!
Sexapalooza is a consumer sex show — a place for product and service providers to meet and sell directly to their customers. Like a sex trade-show but not a sex-trade show. Hm. Cheneka and I went in February. Although we felt we would have done a way better event-managing job it was still a good time. They had a Dungeon (no photography) where some fat guy zapped us with a mini science-ball, a cinema set-up where we saw some labias, and a creepy guy who took this photo for us:


CE Centre — Hall 2, 4899 Uplands Drive. Click here for hours. Save online or $20 at the door ($30 for the weekend). 888-822-9221.

The Ottawa Wedding Show

If you leave Sexapalooza with the feeling that you and your fornicating-partner need to be doing it for the rest of your lives, just wander down the hall and check out the Ottawa Wedding Show. Wedding gowns, wedding cars, wedding butt plugs, wedding party-gifts all under one roof.
There will be over 125 wedding suppliers — you're bound to find something to inspire your special day or doily collection.
   I'm fine.

CE Centre, 4899 Uplands Drive. Saturday & Sunday 11am-5pm. FREE admission. 613-829-6764 ex 1.

  1. Just an FYI... The CE Centre's website says parking is $7, but the one time I went there (for a "free" event,) they were charging $10 to park. Be sure to budget that into your sexa- or wedda- event. <3
