Today in Toronto a design fan's paradise IIDEX opens for two days at the Convention Centre. Canada's National Design and Architecture Exposition & Conference's array of ideas and artistry will include hundreds of exhibitors plus keynotes and industry seminars. At the Reference Library, The Beguiling and TCAF's holiday pop up for indie comics will open with the launch of Just The Tips: A sexual guide by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. Read more here.

If you're in a playful mood, you can play truth or dare in the AGO thanks to Mammalian Diving Reflex. One catch - the truth is out (sorry Mulder) and this is all about the dares. Not sure what happens if you get dared to touch the art. For more events, click on over to our events section.
