I made pumpkin seeds a la last week's post

| "You're going to be inedible soon. I better wander away." |
However, instead of staying diligent I had some holiday-rum and I
let them burn. They were terrible. Make sure your time isn't being
occupied elsewhere when you tackle this snack. (p.s. I ate them
anyways because I'm a sad and stubborn person).
Saturday
Capital
City Cabaret
You
never knew this town had so much burlesque, did you? Damn, you
bureaucrats get down.
St Brigid's Centre for the Arts is hosting
Toronto's vaudeville legends, Parker & Seville, and burlesque, boylesque, cabaret, comedy, sideshow, and vaudeville.
Dress up nicely, for goodness sake, and get ready to dance between the pews.
There's an amazing lineup of entertainers (see their Facebook
for details) and varied acts such as fire-breathing, belly-dancing,
a painted lady, a hoop dance, juggling, and a god damn cash bar.
The following morning there will be a pancake breakfast (at 10am,
$5.00). These two events are not related.

Ottawa's
first Brewery Market
Like
a Farmer's Market where the vegetables/meats/confectioneries are
beer.
I
really don't know what else you'd need to know.
Let's
see: 10 breweries from the Ottawa region, an opportunity to learn about
local beer, sometimes there are specialty beers. Anyways. Brewery
Market.

Sunday
A
Curious Craft Show & Swap
From the info site: “A curious craft show presents over 30
fabulous local artists, designers, makers and creators where you will
find unique hand crafted treats from art and accessories to
housewares and kid's stuff. We will also feature our popular
"Crafter's Swap" — Everyone is welcome to bring any
crafting tools or supplies no longer needed and can leave them at the
table to swap for free! Any craft goes, just bring it in and give
someone else the opportunity to pick up a new skill. Then help
yourself to that jar of buttons or set of paintbrushes and go home
inspired to create.”
This is another one of those events that I can't find the admission
price for so bring $10 and hope for the best.

All Weekend
Sexapalooza!
Sexapalooza
is a consumer sex show — a place for product and service providers
to meet and sell directly to their customers. Like a sex trade-show
but not a sex-trade show. Hm. Cheneka and I went in February.
Although we felt we would have done a way better event-managing job
it was still a good time. They had a Dungeon (no photography) where
some fat guy zapped us with a mini science-ball, a cinema set-up where we saw some labias, and a creepy guy who took
this photo for us:
CE
Centre — Hall 2, 4899 Uplands Drive. Click here
for hours. Save online or $20 at the door ($30 for the weekend). 888-822-9221.
The
Ottawa Wedding Show
If
you leave Sexapalooza with the feeling that you and your
fornicating-partner need to be doing it for the rest of your lives,
just wander down the hall and check out the Ottawa Wedding Show.
Wedding gowns, wedding cars, wedding butt plugs, wedding party-gifts
all under one roof.
There
will be over 125 wedding suppliers — you're bound to find something
to inspire your special day or doily collection.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
CE
Centre, 4899 Uplands Drive. Saturday & Sunday 11am-5pm. FREE
admission. 613-829-6764 ex 1.
Just an FYI... The CE Centre's website says parking is $7, but the one time I went there (for a "free" event,) they were charging $10 to park. Be sure to budget that into your sexa- or wedda- event. <3
