Get excited! Get happy! Get high in a literal sense of the word!
Do you like to increase your physical distance to an elevation that is approximately 15 floors above the ground? Well do I have some GREAT news for you!
Introducing: StarGAYzing, LGBTQase’s night under the stars. Every August, the Earth’s orbit passes through a cloud of debris which ignites in the atmosphere and burns up into itty bitty pieces of starpoop. This is what causes the Perseid meteor shower which peaks on August 12th. We’re giving you exclusive access to the University’s dome and telescopes in addition to the chance of potentially seeing a rock explode while travelling at high speeds through our atmosphere (and if not, well, there’s a nice view and good company). Ascend the Burton Tower this Monday, August 12th and see U of T like you’ve never seen it before! We will be meeting at McLennan Physical Laboratories (255 Huron st.) outside the St. George entrance doors. Someone will be in the lobby to let people in until 9:30pm and then afterwards people will need to contact someone already inside if they want to be let in. Snacks included, but you should bring a sweater and your own blanket to sit on because it gets seriously cold up there!!!

Date: Monday, August 12 from 9pm to 1am

For our upcoming event, we’re going to be having a potluck picnic and movie night. We’ll be meeting at 7:30 pm in David Pecaut Square where we’ll socialize and eat to our heart’s content, then sit back and watch a TIFF-sponsored FREE movie screening on the grass!
Please bring food or drinks to share! Anything from snacks, entrees, desserts, drinks, homemade or store-bought… whatever you’d like to share! We’ll provide cutlery, plates and cups, but bring your own if you can because it’s nice to be nice to the environment.
We’ve decided to hold the event on Jul 31, when they’re screening “The Way We Were”. Go here for more info about the TIFF movie screening: http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiffbelllightbox/2013/2440004272
