DJ Misty Returns to the Ontario Science Centre for ScienceROCKS!

I had a blast DJ'ing the first 19+ installment of ScienceROCKS! at the Ontario Science Centre in July, and now I'll be back on September 18th from 7pm-12am for this month's adult only night with a theme of, "Just the Hits." 

I'll be joining special guests Steve Cropper (Stax Records legend, founding member of Booker T and the MG's and songwriter of hits like 'Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay', 'In The Midnight Hour', and 'Knock On Wood') and Jonny Rosch (Original Blues Brothers lead singer) to explore the Science of Rock n' Roll and have a fun night out while having a licensed beverage or two and eating treats like Fleetwood Mac n' Cheese and Iggy Popcorn.

DJ Misty at #TIFF14

WHOA! What an awesome, awesome experience. This year, the Toronto International Film Festival went above and beyond to bring the first ever, "Festival Street" which transformed King St. into a giant party. I got to be part of the party and keep festival goers shimmying and shaking this past Saturday before and in between acts, choir! choir! choir!, Buck 65, The Dears and DJ Sven Love on the Rdio & Steve and Rashmi Gupta Festival Stage.

Thanks for the picture, Kevin!

I may not have gotten a chance to fangirl over Robert Downey Jr. in the flesh but I did meet lots of rad friends and DJ for a lot of new faces. Here's to another successful TIFF, and I'm so happy I could be part of it!

Amy.

It's been 3 years today. RIP Amy Winehouse. I don't know why her death hit me as hard as it did (and still does) but her talent and voice were from an era well before her time. She made music that was raw, real and impacted me in the way I feel when I hear songs like Big Mama Thornton's 'Hound Dog' or Gloria Jones' 'Tainted Love'. Goosebumps.
