    Yup, this weekend's as varied as implied. And then some!

    Between the digital art festival, Canada's biggest fetish festival, art exhibitions, disasters (and near-disasters) in the news, and more than a handful of new restaurant openings and block parties, the celebrations of summer are far from over. We'll spare you the summary here—it's all best combed over, one event and story at a time.

    Happy long weekend, y'all! May the next few days bring you rest, relaxation, and riveting entertainment.
