TorontoRentals
It’s the long weekend people! If you’re not joining the throngs of campers and lake country yuppies making a mass exodus from the city on Friday afternoon, worry not! Toronto’s got all kinds of good times to enjoy this weekend. Start the May Two Four weekend off right with a death metal festival to get into the right spirit, and cap it off with a very open, sex-positive single mingle shindingle with games and cupids.

Sarcasm aside, Original Crush is a super cool, sex-positive singles event to help you meet your next lover or FB. There’s a speed meet and greet, the Crushboard, consent-based games, spin the bottle, truth or date, cupids delivering love notes on lollypops, dancing and drinks!
