I know Toronto is blessed with choice, and I know Toronto is blessed with amazing events.. Toronto Carnival Saturday is the busiest day of the year for Canadian Caribbean culture.. I get it...
This event has been sitting on my mind and I was unable to shake it, it NEEDED to be revived, and it needed to revived with my friends...

This is the ORIGINAL 100% ALL SOCA EVENT. It was created in 2001. It has been copied all over the world.. It's called SOCAHOLICS ANONYMOUS and my friends and I are SOCAHOLICS. Many of you already have your tickets to all the events going on that night, and that's fine.  For those that don't have tickets or haven't decided where they are going that night I'll say this.. This isn't the biggest event, it isn't the most hype, but it is the original, and you'll remember it if you choose to attend.. 

SOCAHOLICS started with one small step, and it will be revived with another small step..

The venue ( it's really a speakeasy) is called Bar Dem @bardemto and it is literally behind a Vietnamese restaurant called DZÔ Viet eatery @dzo_vieteatery located at 308 Dundas st West (corner of Dundas and McCaul st). The entrance is really in the back alley (no, I'm not joking, the entrance is in the back alley - trust the process 😉). This "session" is a special one, combining the Toronto Socaholics crew with the Montreal Socaholics crew.  This will be fun...
