TIFF Bell LightBox | The digiPlaySpace IS AWESOME!
Last night after dinner I stopped by the TIFF Bell Lightbox to visit the digiPlaySpace. For the first time, TIFF invited grown-ups to get down and geek out. The After Hours event inside digiPlaySpace introduced big kids like to me TIFF’s award-winning interactive exhibition.
Thanks TIFF for the invite. Some of my fav parts below!
The line was pretty long for PaperDude but I’ve tried it before. Look at this dork, haha!
I love playing with Green Screen. I should have done Sesame Street instead of the Ellen Selfie. That’s so overdone!
Big Bird was chillin’ by the DJ booth.
Not sure what was going on here but the people on the floor had a camera on them that was projecting on the wall.
Pong anyone? This was some kind of digital pong/fooseball thing. Looked like fun!
At the digiPlaySpace, kids (big or small!) can play with emerging creative media technologies and share innovative artistic experiences. On sale now to TIFF Members and school groups. Find out more about tickets and pricing here. Can’t wait to take EmBot here to play around!
I used waterlight painting to paint my name (of course). Don’t mind that the person beside me painted an ‘O’. DOH!

Come and Get It | Sandwiches, Snacks, PayPal!
If you haven’t been to Come And Get It yet, you’ve gotta check it out. Sean’s friend Rob is an all star bartender there and the food is delicious. We went there for dinner again last night. You know I’m not much of a ‘foodie’ but let me tell ya, totally worth stopping by. It’s right beside Czehoski.
Two things I think are really awesome about Come And Get it
- The menu has 35 combinations of food you can get. Pick your size ie. snack, slider, sandwich, then pick your flavour.
- You can pay with PayPal! There are a select group of spots downtown that now have the option to pay for your meal using the PayPal app.
The taco flatbread is freaking delicious.
This is a jerk chicken poutine I had on my first visit. Last night I had the coconut shrimp poutine and the friend chicken poutine. They are small so you don’t feel huge after chowing them down. I never even considered throwing these flavours together but GAHHH THEY ARE AMAZING. It makes a great date spot because the poutine, flatbread, salad etc are great for sharing.
You know I love technology and innovation. I hope to see more and more places accept PayPal. It’s so easy and hassle free. You just tell your server you are paying with PayPal, they pull you up on the app, you add your tip, and before you know it a receipt is in your hand on your phone. None of the ‘wave your hand n the air to get the bill’ or ‘let me get the machine’ wait time.
When you roll through, say ‘HI’ ask for Chandler or Rob who might be behind the bar. Great spot, good food! There is a stellar drink menu that I really need to plan a night for soon. Find them on Twitter/Instagram at comeandgetit416.

Hungry Like the Wolf
Just watched this and I loved Worlf of Wall Street so much. You’ll love it. Tells the story of BuzzFeed, founded in 2006 in New York as a viral lab by Jonah Peretti.
“The name of the game, take a little bit off of every other website, put it on to your website.”
“It’s simple, we target the easiest demographic in the world, Facebook users.”
This mix is pretty rad too. Thinking I might watch this again at home tonight.
The real Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort is coming to Toronto in May and I’m hoping to get tickets for Sean and I to go.
Ok that’s all for now!

#iheartbosk Media Dinner at Shangri-La Toronto
One week ago I had the great pleasure of dining with a bunch of friends/media darlings at Bosk, the restaurant in Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel. The food was fantastic, I had a bit too much wine, and heaps of laughs. Major thanks to Shangri-La and Daniel from dothedaniel.com for organizing this special event. We also ran a contest for our followers to win a high tea experience. The winner was Victoria Ess who had over 200 retweets.
A few days before dinner I received this darling little delivery with a written note, macaroons, and paper crane. I love when brands, media, bloggers take that little extra step to make you feel special.
We had set seats and red paper cranes displayed our names along with the customized menu for the night. Each menu item was paired with wine to accentuate the flavour. We tried several new items added for spring and a few Bosk classics.
Before sitting down to eat we got a tour of the magical Garden Suite and took in the high tea experience. I could have stayed there for the night! It was so fabulous and huge. The bed, I can’t even.
Dear Diary, I’m at the @shangrilaTO in the Garden Suite, having tea. #iheartbosk https://t.co/4mtyTYT3Q1

Two menu items I loved were the Marinated Fluke and Nova Scotia Lobster ravioli.
Halibut roll, WHAT?
We finished the dinner with a Cherry Blossom Cotton Candy tree that had a USB key for each of us. The cherry cotton candy was NOT like that cheap stuff from the CNE, it was delicious.
Red chocolate lipstick, yummm! Thanks @ShangriLaTO @boskTO for an amazing dinner experience tonight! #iheartbosk pic.twitter.com/oFhYc6je6E

Huge thanks again to Daniel for organizing the dinner and bringing us together. I’m looking forward to taking Sean there for a dinner date soon! I want that lobster ravioli again!
