Angel >> Fundraisers with kissing booths! It's the oldest trick in the book: contribute a dollar to the cause and get a kiss from a pretty girl. It's about time someone resurrected the idea. Not surprisingly, the group resurrecting it is the Coalition for the Rights of Sex Workers, who are raising money to help them fight for the decriminalization of their trade. Their fundraiser, called Red Light Night, will also take the kissing booth idea one step further by featuring a live peep show as well. One night only: Thursday, April 1, 1999 starting at 9pm at Le Cirque, 141 Mont-Royal E.

Insect >> All the putrid doggie poop currently thawing out on a sidewalk near you: It's dogshit week, that time of year when all the snow melts, uncovering all the three-month-old droppings left behind by urban-dwelling dogs and their irresponsible masters. Even though the sun is finally shining bright, pedestrians don't dare look up at the clear blue sky--they're too busy tip-toeing their way around hundreds of smelly, mushy, gooey foot traps. A curse on all dog owners: may you step in all the poop you yourself failed to scoop, and may the smell follow you around all summer long.
