UofT had a BBQ/Pub and Dance to kick of Toronto's Pride week!
Mah gurlz and I went downtown to the St George Campus and paid 10 dollars for food that Hilary would have classified as "rabbit food"...but I personally didnt mind it (i like eating like a rabbit). The venue for the BBQ/Pub was the quad, and the old buildings gave the event such an elegant feel. The weather was so nice and sunny, but being in a courtyard did give it a bit of a wind tunnel event. Bobby, Hil, Eitan and myself sort of wanted to get a bit wasted, but the drinks were a bit overpriced... so we came up with an idea to walk to and LCBO get some drankz, then go to a mcdonalds and buy a 1dollar whatever size drink, get a little waaaay-stead and then come back to the BBQ. Upon thinking about where the closest LCBO was... the lazyasses in us kicked in, and we decided to just save the walking time and just drink at the event. The BBQ was really just the opening act, to the main event of the dance later in the night. Bobby wanted to get his cray on really early, so he left us to go drink at someones rez.
We got sangrias, right around the time more people decided to show up. Mingling went on, and it was starting to lighten up. Unfortunately it started to get really cold, so we all sort of relocated to underneath the tent where the bar and DJ was. Sure enough we were all aching to dance. Me and Hil took the liberty of doing your usual "awkward suggestive white girl dancing" to start it off. Luckily someone requested Madonna's Like A Prayer, to which all of the UTM attendees started singing along to the music and getting the party started. Everyone started joining in on the festivities, and now it was a party. A great setting for LGBTQ and allies to get together and have fun. Here are some photos from the event.
