Diandra’s “Goodbye Toronto, Hello Jerusalem” Send-Off

If you’re a regular at Kickass Karaoke, you probably know Diandra, pictured to the right in a pirate outfit.

What you may not know is that she was offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance at an interesting job working on a film — in Jerusalem. The job will take her away from our fair Accordion City for a year.

Such a big change deserves a big send-off, which is why we’re having a gathering for her tomorrow night on Queen Street West. We’re going to start off at Lot 16 Bar (1136 Queen Street West, a couple of blocks east of Dufferin), which is probably the most friendly and unpretentious bar on the Drake Strip. Cheap, too!

We’ll probably end up at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West, at Dufferin) for some karaoke. Yes, it’s not going to be a Carson karaoke night, but it will be karaoke nonetheless.

The fun starts at Lot 16 at 9:00 p.m., and Wendy, I and the accordion will be there.
