Degrassi Style
“Wake up in the mornin’ feeling kinda”…blah blah blah! In answer to all of the nostalgic hooplah surrounding the new Degrassi series, CINSSU is going to satiate your need to see Joey Jeremiah on a screen the size of your apartment. They will be presenting six episodes of the ORIGINAL Degrassi Jr. High (count ’em: two single episodes and TWO TWO-PARTERS!!!). As if you needed more selling, they’ll also be completely commercial-free! Remember, this is the celluloid sensation that started the career of Bruce MacDonald (Hard Core Logo, Dance Me Outside) and whose rights were snagged up by Kevin Smith (uh, Clerks and stuff), so it can’t be that bad. It’s at 7 p.m. tomorrow (Jan. 18th), it’s at Town Hall (2 Sussex Ave.), and it’s FREE! For more info email [email protected].
Cops come to blows
When I was a but a wee lad, my friends and I would get together to play “Village People.” We always got in fights over who would play the cop. Nine times out of ten I won, mostly because I had learned to pinch, bite and scratch from my older sister (I had also mastered the ninjitsu technique of “monkey steals the peach.”). Anyhow, I love cops. From their jackboots to their moustaches to their ceramic and polymer Glock 19s, police people are wholesome, authoritative and just plain sexy. Now, when it came to my attention that this Thursday evening at the Kool Haus, some of Metro’s finest are stripping down to their boxers to duke it out for charity, I was throbbing with excitement. If you love cops (and I know you do), this is not an event to be missed. (Stay tuned for the Toronto fire department annual oil wrestling for war orphans fundraiser… if I can arrange it.) The “Police Boxing Benefit” takes place tonight at the Kool Haus. Tickets are $15 through Ticketmaster.
