Donovan Bennett's article on just what Drake is doing for "The 6" is well-timed and well-written.
Kevin Hart, Will Smith, Kanye West and LeBron James in town, rubbing shoulders with Joey Bats, at OVO Fest?
Kevin Durant (and DP's parents) cheering David Price at a sold out Blue Jays game?
Nicki Minaj saying she can't support her boyfriend (Meek Mills) cuz Drake is her guy .... and he's just too "big" In the entertainment industry) to mess with anyway?
ALL ON THE SAME WEEKEND?
When Paul Pierce said Toronto doesn't have "it", he didn't mean this. He didn't mean that Toronto doesn't have the "cool factor". That Toronto isn't the place to be for the trend-setters of North American culture ...
Don't be surprised if - amongst others - Rogers and Bell come quickly to the realization that we are witnessing the "coming out" party for our fair city.
You just can't BUY this kind of publicity. You can't buy this kind of cool .... of "happenin'"
... but you can certainly "chip in", if you know what I meanLast edited by Wild-ling#1; Thu Aug 6, 2015, 12:40 AM.

It's not cool here. But there's tons to do. Lots of sub-cultures. A lot of mainstream entertainment...
New York is cool. It's a lot easier to put on something unique if you're a promoter for instance. But, if Toronto teams are managed well, and opportunities for young people to be entertained in their off time are maintained, this is a far more comfortable place to live than Detroit (which has its struggles), or OKC (basically a small town in comparison).
Also, because of the diverse cultures here fans get it. They're not too cool to cheer, or support their team -- whether that's sports or a rapper.

what does that even mean? new york isnt any different from toronto in terms of event promotion. if anything the saturation in NYC makes it way harder.

Pitch your idea to a gallery, or, a promoter and you're done in those spots. Here you also have to show the venues diagrams and pay people money who are making money off your guests... The promoter who helps you out gets bullied by the venue, so you're hiding half the door money in your pocket... The gallery wants you to become a member even though you just want to do one show... stupidness.
None of that added drama is cool.

I've never heard of any event that takes weeks to set up in ny versus months in Toronto. That doesn't even make any sense. Either you're trying to book things in the completely wrong venues or you've done a few events that have gone awry that somehow lead you to believe it's like that in the whole city. Well its not.
