| Naked Pride Planning Meeting |
| Two years ago, the Crown Attorney admitted that nudity at Pride
is not illegal. As you may know, that story was heard
around the world! We had a great year last year, and we're expecting
a large number of international visitors to join us in this year's parade.
We need your help to make this year extra- special. We need your thoughts, criticisms, and creative energy to design the booth in the community fair, costumes for the booth and for the parade, banners, placards, photos, and much more! Come join us for a fun naked evening! Contact Peter at 416-463-5908 or |

| TNT Nude Ballroom & Latin Dancing |
|
Naked Ballroom & Latin Dancing! Ever felt awkward dancing with a partner, or have problems following the rhythm? Why not come out to these guided classes for beginners. You will learn the basics of Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Cha-cha, Rumba and Samba, from which all other dances are derived, including mambo, salsa, soca, dirty dancing, the bump, etc. Doing this dressed up is one thing, but doing this naked is an entirely different experience. All you need for this event are leather soled shoes, a great spirit and a willingness to have fun, while doing something different. Members $4, non-members welcome $6. Party Room, 177 Mutual Street (east of Church, south off Gerrard). For more info, write |

| Naked Thursdays at the Toolbox |
Hooray! After nearly 4 years, the Toolbox is finally resuming its weekly naked nights! The format is a bit different: the bar is being divided into 3 zones. The first is a small area near the door reserved for the "civilians". This zone is for clothed people only, and includes the washroom. The rest of the bar is for the naked event, which is clothing-optional. There's a $5 cover, which for those who get naked includes their first drink and a free clothing-check. The naked people also have access to the third zone, which is the guest-house upstairs, including the washroom, showers, and upper deck. The Toolbox, 508 Eastern Avenue at Morse Street, south of Queen Street, between Broadview and Pape. +1-416-466-8616. |

| The Barn Underwear or Less Dance |
| These weekly Sunday afternoon tea-dances have been very popular
since the mid-90s with the 30-something crowd. No-one is allowed to wear
more than their underwear, and you can usually dance naked if you want on
the third floor. At 9pm the doors open to the public, so keep your underwear
in your sock so you can keep right on dancing.
The Barn, 418 Church Street, 416-977-4684. |

| Big Gay Naked Party: Friday Edition |
|
On a special night!
Nudists from around the world will be converging on Toronto for the 2004 Gay Pride celebrations. The acknowledgement from the Crown Prosecutor in 2002 that nudity at Pride Day is not illegal, and the lack of interest by the police in 2003 has confirmed that Pride is indeed a nudist-friendly event. This party is of the friendliest naked events anywhere, especially on the Pride weekend. Expect around 80 men to fill this one bedroom suite in the gay village. A great chance to meeting all the locals and visitors. The party is BYOB. Bring a towel to sit on and shower with, and a bag to keep your clothes in. Leave your valuables at home; we provide no security. Smoking is restricted to the balcony only. Snacks and soft drinks provided. Admission is $12 for everyone, or $15 for both the Friday and Saturday parties. For more information, write to party--@--nakedplanet.org (without the dashes) and ask if you can come. Write by June 20th; I doubt we'll be able to get back to you after that. Write this number down: 416-365-0411. After 4pm, on the day of the party, you will need to call that number to get the room number. |
| 10pm-3am |
| Vazaleen Clothing-Optional Dance |
| Hosted by the fabulous DJ and artist Will Munro, these monthly glam-queer rock 'n'
roll dance parties have become a Toronto institution.
Drawing an incredibly mixed crowd, these events have
always welcomed nudists (and bears and metalheads and
queer-loving punks).
There are usually only a half a dozen men willing to strip, most of them TNT!MEN members, so if you've got an exhibitionistic streak, this is the place for you! It can be really packed, but you'll usually find the naked people on the dance floor near the stage. You've got to cover up in order to use the washrooms (keep your undies in your sock), but otherwise, shoes are all you need. These events take place on the last Friday of each month, and feature entertainment, performances, contests, and hundreds of queers. Cover is usually $7, but this month it's $20 or $25 because of special guest Nina Hagen. Lee's Palace, 529 Bloor St. West, just east of Bathurst. 416-532-1598 |

| Get Naked at Gay Pride Day |
| Nudists from around the world will be converging on
Toronto for the 2004 Gay Pride celebrations. In September 2002, the Crown
Prosecutor declared that nudity at Pride
Day is legal, and the resulting story
was translated into dozens of languages and circled the globe. In 2003
the police publicly said they have no problem with nudity at Pride, and
for the most part ignored us all day. So do plan to come get naked and march
with us in the parade. Just remember to wear your shoes!
Toronto puts on one of the biggest Pride celebrations in the world. Nearly a million people came to last year's Pride Parade, and this year will be even bigger! There's a full week of events. For the official schedule, check out the official Pride Toronto web site. Come march with us in the parade, and join us at our fun-filled booth! We're looking for volunteers to help us set up and take down the booth, and for people to chat with the thousands who will stop and visit with us during the day. It really is a wonderful way to spend a day, so please do come out and join us. Want to help out or join us in the march? Just show up and join us; we welcome everyone! We'll leave from our booth on Wellesley St. at around 1:30pm to head up to the parade staging area. The parade starts at 2pm this year. Nearly-naked costumes provided! TNT PRIDE VOLUNTEERS Set-up: Meet us at 10am in front of 55 Wellesley St. East, just west of Church St. Parade: Meet us at our booth, across from 55 Wellesley St., at 1:30pm, and we'll all head up to the parade together. Tear-down: Starting around 6pm or so. For more info, and to volunteer, write to us at pride--@--nakedplanet.org (without the dashes). |
