Awesome Toronto events happening April 8-10

Friday night’s pretty stacked with parties this weekend, including one that celebrates the end of the school term before class is out for the summer, and another that harkens back to the glory days of some, circa 2002. On Saturday, cure your raging hangover by hanging out with a puddle of pugs for two hours. All part of the weird and wonderful events happening in Toronto this weekend, April 8-10.

2000+

Erin Cardone: Born on the Prairies, Erin Cardone grew up knowing there was more to life than canola fields and AAA Alberta Angus. So she escaped, living in Europe and Australia, white-knuckling it through plates of calf brains and raw horse meat, and learning languages she can't remember anymore. After a stint as a jaded, skeptical journalist, she changed tack and began writing rather awesome blogs and showing businesses that advertising is dead, so long live social media, with her businesses Legendary Social Media. She now splits her time between various Canadian cities, Costa Rica and wherever else the wind blows.
