The Citiot’s Guide to Farming.
The Cowboys learn a thing or two about growing food.

Two weeks ago, the Cowboys had the opportunity to wake up at 5:30 am on a Saturday and spend some quality time in a cold building with shit all over the ground. Why sleep in on the weekend when you could be doing that? We’ll explain. “The County”, as the locals call it, has in the last few years become a huge attraction for Torontonians looking for an alternative to Muskoka. With countless wineries and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario, people are flocking there to escape the city on weekends. And since local food products are growing in popularity right now, we decided to meet some of the farmers behind the actual growing of it.

Coming Out of the Closet.
Our interview with local consignment store, MYEXCLOSET.

It’s always hard to part with a loved one. You had some great times together, occasionally costing you a hefty price, but in the end you need to move on. Unlike boys however, our clothes deserve to be somewhere much more fabulous than a trash can. Introducing: MYEXCLOSET. Chic Torontonian, Cassie Cowie, started this online consignment store at only 19 years old. She’d just finished her first year at the University of British Columbia, and having spent all year living out of her friends closets, she came home to Toronto suddenly realizing she only had her own.

EPISODE 5: Zombie Attack.
Well folks, I am an anomaly in the world of fart jokes, and that is I am a morning person. I love the beginning of the day; I drink coffee, I scream at Perez, I question my life decisions, and I occasionally recover from the post show hangover. Today, I slept in until 11 am (3 hours later than I usually prefer), which completely saps my energy, destroys my self esteem and turns me from a somewhat motivated urban explorer into a lump of unmotivated flesh. But this day I was determined not to let the extra sleep destroy my will. I tossed on clothing, ignored the shower, engaged the microwave to heat the leftover coffee and fired up a bran and yogurt concoction that would catapult me out into society.

An Evening of Theataaahhr.
Our experience amongst the elite theatrical crowd in Toronto.

We were invited last minute to what was described as a “formal theatre thing” at “some guy’s house” in Rosedale. Now, there’s a certain amount of panic involved when zipping up your black sequin cocktailer for an event amongst complete strangers – and once we arrived at the guy’s house (pictured above), you can imagine how much worse that panic got. We took a deep breath, clicked our stilettos together three times, and walked on in.
