You are cordially invited to The Last Montreal Slowdance! With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to), Montreal Slowdance has all slow songs, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!)It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful, and why love is not ironic. PS. Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it would be AWESOME and HAWT. *** Mainline Theatre3997 Blvd. St-Laurent(Just south of Duluth on the East side of the street) Saturday, May 17, 2025 Doors at 8:30, Dance promptly from 9 PM - 1 AM-ish.$20 admission includes your Dancecard-booklet! Regretfully, the Mainline Theatre is not wheelchair-accessible. There is a single step through a glass door into the stairwell, and then there are 12 steps from there up to the theatre floor. There are 3 single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms on the premises, but none accomodate wheelchair-users.18+ (as alcohol will be available for purchase) We are always looking for designated dancers for our evenings. If you are outgoing, warm, and willing to undertake the very serious duty and responsibility of inviting wallflowers out onto the dancefloor - if in fact, such a prospect gives you great joy - then please contact the organizers at inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with MTLDD in the subject line. FUTURE EVENTS in your area, please join our QUIRKY EVENTS Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SherwinsQuirkyEvents/ Finally, if you like this event, please consider tipping us a few bucks a month on our Patreon page, where you will get weekly glimpses into our secret creative life. All the details here: https://www.patreon.com/sherwinevents *** "Relive the prom without the angst." - the Canadian Press "In an age where physical contact is a scarce commodity, an event that brings strangers safely together is long overdue." - The Montreal Gazette "I really like hugging people, and this is like, a five-minute hug." - Telyn Kusalik, one of our guests *** A NOTE ABOUT WHY THIS IS THE LAST ONE: For 17 years, the Mainline Theatre has been our home. Its beating heart has been a pulse of encouragement, and its soul and staff have been our body, its booze and its blood. Unfortunately, the Mainline Theatre is closing at the end of June, so this will be our Last Slowdance here. We are sad and heartbroken about it all, and while its true that other venues could accomodate an event of this type, this is our last Montreal slowdance for now and maybe ever. I love making odd events but convincing venues to host them is exhausting. People who know the event love it but people who hear about it for the first time are deeply skeptical. So we're not saying goodbye forever just for the foreseeable. And we thank you SO MUCH for your attendance, love, support and bravery for the last 17 years! Come have one more dance under the disco ball lights. A NOTE ABOUT MASKS: You should know that THIS EVENT WILL NOT REQUIRE MASKS. That said, individuals may choose to wear them and they should be treated with love and respect. If you are feeling sick, we urge you to stay home. Whatever happens, we hope you will act with grace and compassion with one another and make decisions with the health of everyone in mind. A NOTE ABOUT LIGHT SENSITIVITY: During the night, there will be a mirrorball spinning in the middle of the room with a pinspot on it. Bright lights will be reflected off of it for the duration of the event. Additionally, our Designated Dancers wear bright LED lights on their chests so they are easy to identify. Those sensitive to bright or flashing lights might consider sunglasses and a hat with a brim. If you dip in and decide it's too much, we can refund your admission. A NOTE ABOUT THE DANCE CARDS: The dancecards are these little handmade booklets that contain a setlist of every song that will be played that evening. The idea is that during the course of the evening, you can "book" certain songs with certain people, and vice versa. So when your charming host announces a particular song, you can look on your dancecard and see who it is you're going to dance with next. There is a little space after every song where people can write their names. How filled your dancecard gets depends on you, of course. Look for the Dancecard-Signing Station located somewhere on the premises where small pencils are available. Use of the dancecards, is, of course, optional, and completely up to you. Proceed at your comfort level. A NOTE ABOUT THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: Essentially, you have the right to ask anyone you want to dance. But whoever it is you asked has the right to refuse your request, and not have to give any reason why. But wonderfully, you have this right as well. This is done because slowdancing with someone is rather an intimate sort of enterprise, and you should have the right to back out anytime you wish. Queer Slowdance is about consensual respect and enjoyment. A NOTE ABOUT THE DESIGNATED DANCERS: On any particular night there will be a handful of our Designated Dancers available to dance with you for the first half of the evening - so arrive early! They will be wearing glowing lights over their hearts, and these Designated Dancers are warm, charming, and safe people to ask to dance. Of course, the same Rules of Engagement apply, and they, as free agents, can decide for themselves who they want to dance with, and for how long, but in all likelihood, they would be very open to dancing with you. Please think of them as a warm taxi light in the middle of a blizzard. A NOTE ABOUT COMMON SCENTS: Because at this event folks will be in very close proximity to each other, pretty much hugging, we would like attendees to be mindful of what they smell like. Bathing is a great idea, but ditch the fragrances! Thank you! A NOTE ABOUT POLITELY DECLINING: So at this event, there is a high likelihood that you may be asked to dance by someone of the same, opposite, or indeterminate gender. We understand that people have preferences, irrespective of gender, regarding who they want to dance with. We urge you to be very polite if someone has asked you to dance but you do not want to dance with them. A simple "No thank you," will suffice. You do not have to explain why. A NOTE ABOUT INTERPERSONAL SAFETY: Sometimes it happens that there is someone in the crowd who will make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable when dancing. This does not have to be an obvious thing. It could just be a weird feeling. You are more than within your rights to stop the dance right there, and not have to explain. You are more than within your rights to say to them, "Hey! Don't fucking do that!" and then discuss your boundaries during the dance itself. We urge and encourage discussion of boundaries. If something more serious occurs, do please let the organizer know. The organizer is the person in the cat ears and stunning dress at the DJ Laptop. They are both your mom & dad & kooky aunt tonight and a safe person to come to if something happens, and we will try to resolve it with everyone's safety in mind. The organizer reserves the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason which they do not have to divulge to anyone. A NOTE ABOUT HELPING: We would love it if you would INVITE YOUR FRIENDS to the event! This event survives on word-of-mouth, and you know thousands of people we have never met! Please INVITE your friends and SHARE the event on your page if you can. Make us easier to find. Thank you! A NOTE ABOUT THE NOTES: Holy shit! Did you really read down this far? That's awesome. We always read all the minutiae & marginalia too. But really, you're crazy heroic for reading all this. *** Copyright 2025 Joe Catman AKA Sherwin Sullivan Tjia

There are 3 single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms on the premises, but none accomodate wheelchair-users.18+ (as alcohol will be available for purchase) We are always looking for designated dancers for our evenings. If you are outgoing, warm, and willing to undertake the very serious duty and responsibility of inviting wallflowers out onto the dancefloor - if in fact, such a prospect gives you great joy - then please contact the organizers at inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with MTLDD in the subject line.

Its beating heart has been a pulse of encouragement, and its soul and staff have been our body, its booze and its blood. Unfortunately, the Mainline Theatre is closing at the end of June, so this will be our Last Slowdance here. We are sad and heartbroken about it all, and while its true that other venues could accomodate an event of this type, this is our last Montreal slowdance for now and maybe ever. I love making odd events but convincing venues to host them is exhausting. People who know the event love it but people who hear about it for the first time are deeply skeptical. So we're not saying goodbye forever just for the foreseeable. And we thank you SO MUCH for your attendance, love, support and bravery for the last 17 years! Come have one more dance under the disco ball lights. A NOTE ABOUT MASKS: You should know that THIS EVENT WILL NOT REQUIRE MASKS. That said, individuals may choose to wear them and they should be treated with love and respect. If you are feeling sick, we urge you to stay home. Whatever happens, we hope you will act with grace and compassion with one another and make decisions with the health of everyone in mind. A NOTE ABOUT LIGHT SENSITIVITY: During the night, there will be a mirrorball spinning in the middle of the room with a pinspot on it. Bright lights will be reflected off of it for the duration of the event. Additionally, our Designated Dancers wear bright LED lights on their chests so they are easy to identify. Those sensitive to bright or flashing lights might consider sunglasses and a hat with a brim. If you dip in and decide it's too much, we can refund your admission. A NOTE ABOUT THE DANCE CARDS: The dancecards are these little handmade booklets that contain a setlist of every song that will be played that evening. The idea is that during the course of the evening, you can "book" certain songs with certain people, and vice versa. So when your charming host announces a particular song, you can look on your dancecard and see who it is you're going to dance with next. There is a little space after every song where people can write their names. How filled your dancecard gets depends on you, of course. Look for the Dancecard-Signing Station located somewhere on the premises where small pencils are available. Use of the dancecards, is, of course, optional, and completely up to you. Proceed at your comfort level. A NOTE ABOUT THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: Essentially, you have the right to ask anyone you want to dance. But whoever it is you asked has the right to refuse your request, and not have to give any reason why. But wonderfully, you have this right as well. This is done because slowdancing with someone is rather an intimate sort of enterprise, and you should have the right to back out anytime you wish. Queer Slowdance is about consensual respect and enjoyment. A NOTE ABOUT THE DESIGNATED DANCERS: On any particular night there will be a handful of our Designated Dancers available to dance with you for the first half of the evening - so arrive early! They will be wearing glowing lights over their hearts, and these Designated Dancers are warm, charming, and safe people to ask to dance. Of course, the same Rules of Engagement apply, and they, as free agents, can decide for themselves who they want to dance with, and for how long, but in all likelihood, they would be very open to dancing with you. Please think of them as a warm taxi light in the middle of a blizzard. A NOTE ABOUT COMMON SCENTS: Because at this event folks will be in very close proximity to each other, pretty much hugging, we would like attendees to be mindful of what they smell like. Bathing is a great idea, but ditch the fragrances! Thank you! A NOTE ABOUT POLITELY DECLINING: So at this event, there is a high likelihood that you may be asked to dance by someone of the same, opposite, or indeterminate gender. We understand that people have preferences, irrespective of gender, regarding who they want to dance with. We urge you to be very polite if someone has asked you to dance but you do not want to dance with them. A simple "No thank you," will suffice. You do not have to explain why. A NOTE ABOUT INTERPERSONAL SAFETY: Sometimes it happens that there is someone in the crowd who will make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable when dancing. This does not have to be an obvious thing. It could just be a weird feeling. You are more than within your rights to stop the dance right there, and not have to explain. You are more than within your rights to say to them, "Hey! Don't fucking do that!" and then discuss your boundaries during the dance itself. We urge and encourage discussion of boundaries. If something more serious occurs, do please let the organizer know. The organizer is the person in the cat ears and stunning dress at the DJ Laptop. They are both your mom & dad & kooky aunt tonight and a safe person to come to if something happens, and we will try to resolve it with everyone's safety in mind. The organizer reserves the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason which they do not have to divulge to anyone. A NOTE ABOUT HELPING: We would love it if you would INVITE YOUR FRIENDS to the event! This event survives on word-of-mouth, and you know thousands of people we have never met! Please INVITE your friends and SHARE the event on your page if you can. Make us easier to find. Thank you! A NOTE ABOUT THE NOTES: Holy shit! Did you really read down this far? That's awesome. We always read all the minutiae & marginalia too. But really, you're crazy heroic for reading all this. *** Copyright 2025 Joe Catman AKA Sherwin Sullivan Tjia
