10 things to do in Toronto this week

There's a lot going on in Toronto this week, and if you're heading out, you might want to bring ear plugs, party shoes and an open mind. Head to one of the concerts happening all over town or check out the Toronto Comic Arts Fair, which seems to get cooler every year.

Events you might want to check out:

Ryan Adams & Band (May 9 @ Massey Hall)
Hurry! There are still a few tickets left to this intimate Ryan Adams show. He's here with his band playing stuff from his new record, and probably a few hits for you to sing/weep along to.
Matty Matheson on American Graffiti (May 10 @ TIFF Bell Lightbox )
Matty Matheson speaks about his straight-forward approach to food in relation to the music, friendships and grub at Mel’s Drive-In.
The Black Lips (May 10 @ Horseshoe Tavern)
See The Black Lips where they belong on a small, sweaty stage at the Horseshoe. This is a special two-night stint, so bring your ear plugs and dive in.
FNL - Fashion (May 12 @ Royal Ontario Museum)
Celebrate fashion and music with Ralph, Del Hartley, Sophie Jones and Karim Olen Ash along with some classical vibes from the University of Toronto Faculty of Music.
