#Dadpicks - Stuff to Do - Happy Place, The Chair Affair and School of Rock
We’ve got Happy Places, Schools that Rock and The Chair Affair to highlight this week.
Founded by Jared Paul and opened originally on November 20, 2017, this massive pop-up experience is filled with larger than life size installations, multi-sensory immersive rooms, and dozens of moments curated to Capture Your Happy. Visited by more than 100,000 guests during our SOLD-OUT run in Los Angeles, the highly anticipated HAPPY PLACE Toronto launch will bring smiles to thousands more. Highlights include: dancing in the middle of world’s largest indoor Confetti Dome, jumping off of a larger than life double rainbow into a pot of happiness, and posing inside HAPPY PLACE's signature rubber ducky bathtub of fun! and let’s not forget 7-foot stilettos made of a million candies and 6-foot-tall X and O letters made out of thousands of tiny mirrors, surrounded by a wall of one thousand red lips!!!

Planning Ahead? We’ve heard great things about the new Mirvish Production of School of Rock.
School Of Rock is a New York Times Critics' Pick and "an inspiring jolt of energy, joy and mad skillz!" (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
Furniture Bank's Chair Affair
We know that not every event that is tied to a charity is going to functional for our site, but this being a part of a contributors community deserves a shout out and hopefully inspires other communities to do something interesting like this.
For the last twenty years, Furniture Bank have been trying to eradicate furniture poverty. They work with over 90 agencies that help by redistributing gently-used furniture and housewares to those in need, including women and children leaving shelters, the formerly homeless, and refugees and newcomers to Canada. They are about to mark their 100,000th client served. It's an incredibly well-run operation that places importance on the dignity that furniture brings to a home. In their massive Etobicoke warehouse they cycle through furniture in a 72 hour timeframe (including delivery). Find out more at furniturebank.org
