It’s a post-Conan world

I know that Conan O’Brien is a smart cookie and he’ll land on his feet. I also know he’ll be missed on The Tonight Show, around these parts. It’s back to Letterman/Kimmel/Lopez for the first round of late night TV.

I think my love of Carson Daly has also been noted.

For these reasons I may bounce over to Original Joe’s-Varisty Row (109 Street, north of Whyte Avenue) for the last Coco-Tonight Show. They’ll be showing it at the restaurant/bar and they’ve got specials on Red Ale and Coco Martinis (clever). Maybe I’ll see you there.

On a more serious note, there will be a march and rally in Old Strathcona tomorrow (when isn’t there?) as Canadians against Proroguing Parliament hit the streets. Let’s see if the Facebook protest transitions to the real world.

I bet this show won't be a "big wreck." (It's Monday at Union Hall.)

Edmonton’s Winter Light festival continues this weekend, with the Baba Yaga Trail Adventure.

Ice on Whyte also continues.

There are zombie-literary discussions happening Saturday afternoon (2-4pm, in the Edmonton Room) at the Stanley Milner Library. It’s about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

There are also ways to enjoy the party-scene of the weekend and help Haiti. Check this Metro-Edmonton story for details.

Dave Attell is at The Comic Strip this weekend.

You can take your tummy out to the second round of Fork Fest.

Maybe you’d rather try not to get trampled by brides looking for deals and other items for THEIR SPECIAL DAY. There’s an event for that.

Or you can attempt to keep your head from exploding due to an abundance of cuteness at the Edmonton Pet Expo. Aww…

The Edmonton Rush have their home opener Saturday, against the Buffalo Bandits. Hey, they’ve got more of a chance of winning than the Oilers. (Thanks for the reminder, Derjs.)

Whatever it is you do to make it to Monday, have fun.
