St. Patrick's Day in Toronto is the best opportunity we have all year to highlight the rich traditions of the Irish and celebrate the country's vibrant culture, spirited music, and legendary history. It's also a perfect excuse for Torontonians to hit the town. Whether you're surrounded by fiddlers and endless shades of green in one of the city's top microbreweries or cozying up with friends in a true Irish pub, St. Patrick's Day is a great opportunity to enjoy a day of warm, festive celebrations during one of the year's coldest months!

It was a little tough to swallow, but that’s the game we play in this business and any other business for that matter. We hear ‘no’ more often than we hear ‘yes’ and that’s fine because it makes the victories feel more like, well, victories. Sometimes we don’t fit the mold, hit the right note, say the right thing, or make the right move. I certainly don’t. If you do, then well.. you’re wrong 😜. We may not be someone’s cup of tea regardless of whether we do a kickass job or not. Heck, I drink coffee. Today, I heard ‘no’. I’m okay with that because the reason I got a ‘no’ today was the same reason I got a ‘yes’ to some other pretty amazing things (some of which I can’t wait to share!). I hope this message finds those who need it, because I needed it today. Social media tends to just show the highlight reel, not the b-roll. So this is me showing you some b-roll. That sounds weird, but you get it 🙃. Believe in yourself, and believe in the people who believe in you. Today, I heard ‘no’. I’m gonna take that ‘no’ with me back to Newfoundland in a couple of weeks and celebrate a big fat ‘YES’ at the MusicNL awards. ⬇️🎤👏🏻👏🏻 #nofilter . . Ps. This picture (#latergram ) is a big YES. Thanks again @andreaenglandofficial for inviting me to play your magical show. I just love you to pieces. 📷: Anne Connor A post shared by Mallory Johnson (@maljohnsonmusic) on Sep 19, 2018 at 11:19pm PDT Where: 249 Ossington Ave. (Ossington) Continue the party in trendy Ossington, where The Dakota is open all evening long and into the wee hours of the morning.
