What: 10-pin bowling! All levels of experience welcome.

Where: Playtime Bowl (33 Samor Road, Toronto)

When: Saturday, June 29th @ 2pm

Rates: $29.99 per lane per hour; maximum 6 people per lane. Lane cost will be split evenly among the attenders.

Meet your fellow local deviants and enjoy a couple hours of friendly, non-competitive cosmic bowling at a modern style alley, completed with music, glow-in-the-dark black-lights, and on-site snacks and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). There will be fun for you whether you are a first-time bowler or an experienced veteran. Wear neon colors, if you want to shine in the dark. It is cosmic bowling after all!

Don't feel shy to bring along friends, even if they're not from deviantART. We welcome everyone. If you want to get to know your host and your pals before the event, come chat with us in #dAtoronto.

Hope to see you there, and don't forget to RSVP.

From ~kh2kid:

We're Fandom Musicals, a musical theater group from Toronto, and we are preparing for our first ever show, Fandom Hearts, a Kingdom Hearts parody musical. Taking inspiration from Starkid parody musicals, we've written an 88 page script with 17 original songs, drawing inspiration of the story from the first Kingdom Hearts game, with jokes, tropes, and characters from the whole series. It's a musical that pokes fun at stuff gamers love, but celebrates the parts of the game that makes it memorable.

PLEASE NOTE that this show is made by fans, for fans entertainment. We will not recieve profit from this funding. The entire musical will be posted online for free after the Toronto performances. You do not need to be in Toronto to see it.

WHAT WILL THE FUNDING GO TOWARDS?

We are also raising money to rent out the Terragon Theater, located in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where we would perform the show for a week to an audience of 100 each night. Once we hit the 50% we will introduce stretch goals to existing tiers that include tickets to the show from September 16, 2013 - September 22, 2013

Our total cost for costumes, including various wigs, and comfortable shoes comes to a total of $800. The total cost for props for the show will be $545.The total cost also includes the payment of $300 for our pianist to play live at the shows. A button maker, and button templates for $260, which we will use to send out the incentives you guys donate to. The cost of the theater, The Terragon, which we will rent for a week for performances for a rental cost of $2825.

We are set on a Flexible Funding campaign, so if there's a chance we don't make our deadline, we will use whatever we have to bring you the best possible version of the show online. If we overfund our goal, we will bring you new stretch goals, so stay updated.

When: Saturday, May 25 at 3:00 pm
Where: Outside the South Building's main entrance

Meet your fellow Toronto deviants as they flaunt their fanboy and fangirl sides. Let's gather for an informal meet-n-greet and pose for some group photos. (Both cosplayers and non-cosplaying members are welcome.) We can meet just outside the South Building's prominent main entrance and move to a nearby lawn for photos.

I shall await you either in the guise of the masked character in my avatar (Tsubaki from Bleach) or, if I've had time to change after Cosplay Battle Chess, suited up as a Cobra Trooper from the G.I. Joe: Renegades animated series. What will you be in costume as? Let us know by commenting here!

RSVP is not strictly necessary for this mini meetup, but feel free to put your name on the board to show your support.

See you then!

When: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 @ 8:00 pm
Where: The official #Toronto chatroom

Reminder: The Chatroom DevMEET is tonight at 8:00 pm EST!

Join us in the official #Toronto chatroom for our first ever virtual DeviantMEET. If you haven't been able to make one of our face-to-face meetups yet – or for those of you who might be just a little shy - this is your chance to meet the organizers and connect with your fellow Toronto-area Deviants from the comfort and convenience of your keyboard.

The virtual meetup will last, officially, for an hour, but you are obviously welcome and encouraged to hang out as long as you like.

RSVP is not strictly necessary for this meetup, but feel free to leave your mark on board and show your support!

We are holding this virtual DeviantMEET in lieu of a regular face-to-face meetup for May, which this month has proven too busy for us to organize. (The mini DeviantMEET at Anime North is still going ahead, however, for those of you attending the convention. Details for that will be posted soon.)
