The Book Mark, one of Toronto’s oldest bookstores, is closing at the end of this month, citing big chain stores and online book sales as the main reasons for their financial downturn over the past couple of years. Truly a loss for this city. (via CBC)

Definitely the coolest thing at Toronto’s Nuit Blanche this year: Russian art group AES+F’s “The Feast of Trimalchio.” A modern retelling of part of the Satyricon, shot as 70,000 still frames. Imagine this, but with 9 separate screens arranged in a ring around you (instead of a youtube clip divided into 9 channels). Wish I could’ve just stayed there all night.

In the final round of the second Literary Death Match Toronto last night, Nathaniel G. Moore and Holly Luhning take turns throwing cupcakes at a poster of a Canadian literary icon. The writer who could get icing closest to her mouth would be crowned the winner! Hosted by Todd Zuniga and produced by Julie Wilson. Sorry about my shaky hands…
