Nightlife
Cream

Big Primpin’: Bases Loaded
Revellers are invited to party like it’s 1993 — which is probably some sort of baseball or Blue Jays reference — with DJs Nino Brown and Sammy Royal spinning hip hop all night. For line bypass, email bigprimpin@gmail.com.

Sex
The New Wave
Because it pays to be educated when engaging in BDSM play, this edition of the monthly kink event for a younger crowd focuses on three workshops: Whips 101, Mental Health and Suicidality First AID, and Mummification: Sealing in the Freshness.
Saturday, Oct 3, 5pm. The Black Eagle, 457 Church St. blackeagletoronto.com
