Apr 18: F*ck the Small Talk #4: Toronto [link]
Competitor to “Get to the point m*therf***er”, and “casual conversation can e** my a**”. These people hate small talk even more than they hate spelling out swears.
Apr 19: Solar Flare [link]
Daytime dance party that starts kid-friendly then becomes adults-only. I went to this with my 9-year old and it was so impactful that my kid turned 10 the next day. We’ll probably be at this one.

May 1: All About Intimacy - Friends, Lovers, Strangers [link]
I run this series with my friend Sophia, and sometimes Heidi. It’s a series of conversations around love, sex, frienship, and more. It’s great! Past themes have included “how is sex integrated/compartmentalized in your life”, “Shame” and “Queer Platonic Friendship”. The theme this time is “Friends, Lovers, Strangers: Ways of Being Seen” - about the different kinds of connection that are possible with people w do/don’t know well.

May 3: "I Choose You" Pokemon Pack Opening and Card Painting Workshop [link]
Fashion designers host a night where I think you open packs of Pokemon cards and paint on them. I don’t really understand what is going on, but you should totally go and then tell me about it.

About Misha
Hi, I’m Misha! Nice to meet you. I make this newsletter. We started this in September. Around the same time, I also started my own substack. So far the most popular post is one called Stop Pretending Toronto is More Than It Is, which you might like. Or read more about Toronto Event Generator.
I run and host the Trampoline Hall Lecture Series. I co-host All About Intimacy, a conversation event about love, sex, and friendship, and sometimes host a live-band karaoke night at Jean Darlene Piano Room.
In my working life, I help companies foster better human connection - I help teams get better at talking about tough issues, and help organizations run better conferences, workshops, and offsites.
You can find me on twitter, instagram, substack… See you at the next event!
