Wilde Chats - is dead!
Long live Wilde Chats

“Michel is canoeing and thinking up new ideas”

June 1, 2010. Michel Paré, Queer West Founder, ran various People talking to People conversation groups for the last seven years. It nows seems people are not interested in talking to strangers in public conversations. Where Michel changed small talk to big talk. he ran Conversation Cafes, philosophy, cafes, socrates cafes and Wilde Chats, it was fun while it lasted. Cell phones and the Internet killed the art of coversation, first by Instant messaging, then by emails and now by simple text messaging. Michel loves thinking up new ideas and programs for bringing people together.

Currently he is running a random local neighbourhood street idea since May, he calls "The Steps" it is catching on and locals are coming by to check it out, then coming back again and again. Michel says the best advertising is Word of Mouth. Someone who knows someone, asks. "Have you been to"The Steps" yet? That's how people arrive. Is it about talking? Well yes and no. Is it about music? Could be and many other things. Oh come on... I am curious.... What is it about anyway? That's the best part. "The Steps" refuses to be defined; all the attendees have their own definition.

Email or call/text 416-879-7954 Michel torontodigitalq@yahoo.ca Oh! By-the-way. He won't tell you when the next "Steps" is happening or anything about it, not this year anyway. (He's holding one, as part of Queer West Fest.) Unless your part of "The Steps." other then "The Steps" is held somewhere in the old Brockton Village in queer west Toronto, Ontario randomly.
