To kick us off, our first location is Teashop 168 in North York. Before the boom of bubble tea, Teashop 168 was one of the first and largest bubble tea chains in North America.

For Asian gay, bi, queer, cis and trans men Remember that time you exchanged messages with that cutie on instagram with the slick photo grid and made a date to meet up, only to discover he was awkward af and had no game to speak of? (No? Okay maybe that was just me...) In this month’s edition of HumpDay, we're going to dive into the ancient art of *flirtation* so when you meet someone at the bar, in your apartment, the grocery store or jammed in a crowded streetcar, you'll know how to escalate that small talk or put on the brakes. We're going to give share some classic lines to say, practice some body language exercises, share tips, tricks and wisdom as well as discuss how to deal rejection. Come with an open mind, and a flirty attitude, as well as some food to share because this is a potluck and hangry sure ain't sexy. ACAS Office @ 260 Spadina Rd. Unit #410 6:00pm: Meet, Greet, Eat 6:45pm: Flirt 7:30pm: Break 7:45pm: Chat 8:15pm: Wrap up / Check out For more information, contact Zack (gaap@acas.org) or Greg (mensexualhealth@acas.org).
