Toronto Trek
Here's the site for Toronto Trek - coming to Toronto July 11-13, and costing way too much to get in (upwards of $58 for the weekend) - although they do offer a 2-hour visitor pass for $10.

If you're the budding artsy type, this might be for you next year (they already have winners for this year).

The delivery however -- now that was something else. The delivery was sick, sick, sick. This is an in-joke for comedians that have been numbed by jokes for us regular folk. The only thi...
