Time for the weekend
So let’s find you something to do, shall we.
Now, this is by no means a definitive list of stuff going on in Edmonton over the next few days. Heck, there are plenty of events, big and small, that I’m going to miss. This is just the stuff that seems cool, seems to be talked about, or happens to catch my eye as I’m writing.
Mostly, I’m trying to find stuff I’d like to do.
I noticed the Elephant & Castle on Whyte Avenue (near 103 Street) is offering 15% off to anyone showing up in pirate garb tomorrow night. That would be because it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day. This works out well if you’ve already got your pirate costume for Hallowe’en.
Why not congratulate Edmonton Symphony Orchestra conductor Bill Eddins on his contract extension by checking out some film scores?
Speaking of the arts, it’s Alberta Arts Days all weekend. That means plenty of artistic ventures, shows, open houses, discounts and more.
Northern Light Theatre kicks off its season with Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen. (I was on a math team once…)
Buffy Sainte-Marie is playing in Sherwood Park tonight.
Over at the Jube, there’s a Leonard Cohen tribute; The Tower of Song.
Mojave is swinging through town and playing Eddie Shorts Saturday night.
We’ve also received word that the City Centre Cinema is offering a movie, popcorn and pop for $10 Saturday. (This could be a good chance to check out Matt Damon’s moustache.)
The Visualeyez performance art festival is winding down.
And if you like mixed-martial arts, The Fight Club presents TFC 8: Salvation at the Shaw Conference Centre tonight.
Plus, it looks like it will just be nice weather, so that’ll be fun too.
