What’s yellow and white and coming to America tonight? KK Downey, of course!

He’s the JT LeRoy-inspired mystery man at the heart of Who is KK Downey? the first full-length feature from Kids in the Hall-esque sweethearts of the Montreal movie scene, Kidnapper Films. Since its release last year, the movie has garnered acclaim and prizes from Toronto to Tours, France, and got an on-air plug from GURU-approved host of The Hour George Stroumboulopoulos.

FUN FACT: Cast member Dan Haber (Frankie Lola) can be seen in the GURU Energy Drink testimonials at the top of this blog!

To celebrate the American launch of the Who is KK Downey? DVD, the troupe is going to be at Pianos NYC tonight for drinks, shameless self-promotion and live music from Apache Beat. But will the hipsters in attendance outdo the hipsters in the movie? Only time – time and miles and miles of plaid and mustaches – will tell.

The fashion week heard all over the world said farewell last week, and we’ve got the scoop on the send off with some pics from Fashion Indie’s Young Guns party. You can check out more shots care of photog Pat Miller, who seems to have taken a shine to GURU Energy Drink after being introduced to it while covering the festivities at The Delancey.

In his own (unsolicited) words: “After 29 cans down, my roomy Dave sure loves it too. Damn son!” Right back at you, Pat and Dave. Damn son everybody!

Okay, enough reminiscing. Time to get in gear for Montreal Fashion Week, starting October 13. After NYFW and Pop Montreal, you’re going to need beauty sleep and a major battery recharge (of course, GURU will always be there to help you fake it ‘til you make it).
