A rollicking weekend
You’re in for one of those, Edmonton. And the weather is even
I guess we know which one of us will be watching movies for free.
supposed to be nice. So let’s all remember to take advantage of that.
The Edmonton International Film Festival is underway tonight. There’s an opening night movie and gala, then it’s a week+ of movies, movies, and more movies.
The Old Strathcona Foundation is hosting A Taste of Old Strathcona, tonight at the Arts Barns. It will be food and a silent auction, all the with flair of Edmonton’s funnest neighbourhood.
Speaking of the Old Strathcona neighbourhood…Edmonton Chante is back for another year of the city’s best French music. The shows are free. Free I tells 
ya!
Speaking of music…Falklands is, of course, playing New City. It’s the first show of their national tour. We think they’re great.
The ARTery continues its fundraising Happy Hour Fridays. This month’s charity is Room to Read. Plus, there are rumours of a new nacho treat.
Danny Michel is playing the Arden Theatre. He’s also great. And he’s following up his show tonight with a songwriter’s session with U22.
Chopin 2010 begins this weekend. It’s months of music and events to celebrate the 200th birthday of Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin. (You probably recognize some of his work.)
Speaking of classical music (more…)
Get a job
One hour after I post this you could be attending the Capital Ex Job Fair.
By 7pm you’ll be too late.
Yes, Capital Ex will be taking over Northlands again this July, and they need staff. So, if you want to work only 10 days, this is the job for you.
I’m probably kidding, since people who only want to work 10 days likely aren’t going to be at the top of the resume pile for Northlands. I hope. I mean, I demand quality and a smile from my mini donut vendors.
Anyway, the job fair goes 5-7 tonight, and is a chance for you to drop off your resume and get a short pre-interview interview.
It could be a good summer job for your kids too, as long as they’re 15-years-old. And like smelling like mini donuts.
