O̲ppa̲ (っ-̶●̃益●̶̃)っ ,︵‿ S̲t̲yl̲e̲

**The Wych**
(っ^▿^)۶🍸🌟🍺٩(˘◡˘ )
https://wych.ca/menu *Support our host venue; buy a drink!*
This is a cool underworld bar, (Entrance down the stairs) and small enough so you can get to know the patrons and other attendees and get to sing a couple of times. The Wych makes some excellent cocktails, and has many non-alcoholic offerings as well.
**Public Transit Directions:**
On Subway Line 1: You can get off at Eglington West and take the 63A southwards
On Subway Line 2: You can get out at Ossington and take the 63A northwards.
The stop should be Davenport/Ossington.
If in Liberty village or in in between just take the 63A all the way to Davenport and forget the subway. If you're in the south core, take Line 1 to Dupont or Spadina stations and take the 127 bus west to Davenport/Ossington. If on St Clair streetcar line (512) you can take that to Winona drive and walk south.

Hogtown Hash House Harriers (HH3) is a Toronto social running/walking and beer drinking group, with events happening every other Saturday, plus one Thursday and one Friday per month.

Expect plenty of laughs, songs, quirky traditions, and a beer stop or two along the way. New members and non-beer drinkers are always welcome!
HH3’s Friday event (A.K.A. ‘The Hogans’) is traditionally our shortest and slowest trail with the most beer stops! Meet and greet at 7pm; head out around 7:30pm.
Date / Time: Friday March 20th @ 7pm
Start location: Christie Pits Pub, [814 Bloor St W, Toronto](https://maps.app.goo.gl/d56BEUJsZ17EK7gq6)

Mary Pickford stares into the camera.
Born on University Avenue, she became the girl with the golden curls, the first Hollywood star, and now Toronto is the star!
Good Will Hunting, Pacific Rim, X-Men, Robocop, Total Recall, Prom Night, Suicide Squad, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Police Academy, and the list goes on and on and on.
It was back in the 1920s that Toronto emerged as a shy newcomer. But it stepped up to the camera, smiled, and went to work. The first real feature movie was "The Man From Toronto," even though it was not filmed here, and in the late 60s Toronto was "Goin' Down the Road," that the city was Hollywood bound.
And it wasn't just movies! Television movies, series, documentaries, music videos and video games were all shot here in Toronto. Award shows such as The Genie's, Juno's, the Canadian Screen Awards, Giller Prize and The Much Music Video Awards are all celebrated here! Let's find out where the movies came alive with this unique walking tour!
This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of movie magic as well. Hope to see you there.
This tour begins at the famous TORONTO sign at Nathan Phillips Square. We end at Front and Jarvis!
This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person!

Improv For New Friends
Don't be disappointed if you don't see a bunch of people attending. I advertise this on multiple platforms and the class usually sells out.
Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter.
Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person.
In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around.
The organizer, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
FAQs and Good To Know....
After every event, a group from this class sit down and have a drink together so be prepared to stay if you want! Of course, you don't HAVE to.
You also don't have to be single or bring a friend. The vibe of this class is much more 'making new friends' than a 'singles' mixer'.
We usually run to 8:15 so pay for extra parking!

Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: TOW vs THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of the top-reviewed indie drama TOW or the action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! A winner either way! Here are details, trailer and plan for this event:
TOW: This drama follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and the car that held it all together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film is directed by Stephanie Laing and stars Rose Byrne, Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, Simon Rex, Elsie Fisher and Corbin Bernsen. Tow premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “Tow is a winner” and called the film “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiUtqgeDVI8
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the upstairs lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase via the GFC website is advised! Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
