Remember two weeks ago, when we told you about Treevenge, Hobo with a Shotgun director Jason Eisener‘s new short horror film about angry, revenge-seeking Christmas trees? (Of course you do. No one forgets about revenge-seeking Christmas trees. Unless they want a pine needle in the eye.) In any event: Treevenge, which stars Jonathan Torrens and […]

If y’all are looking for a way to spend your time and money this weekend (and you’re finally all Batmanned out), the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council‘s 32nd annual Summer Craft Market is definitely worth a looksee. Pop on by the parking lot at the corner of Spring Garden and Queen this July 25-27 (10am-8pm […]

A sad but unabashed confession: I’ve actually been getting into Canadian Idol for the first time since Newfoundland’s Jenny Gear stole my heart away during the show’s first season, lo those many summers ago.

Their goal: broadening […]

The hands-down coolest: the third go-round of the Anchor Archive Zine Library’s annual 24-Hour Zine Challenge — an event aimed at celebrating zines (self-published magazines with small print runs) and introducing the uninitiated […]

Just a reminder for all the artistically minded souls and venue-having mofos who’ve been meaning to get involved with this year’s Go North! festival, but haven’t quite gotten around to making their intentions concrete: the deadline for artists and showcasing venues to sign up for the festival is July 18. So, if you’re a north-end […]

If you’re a sometime recluse like me, this summer’s jam-packed sched of various festivals, happenings and capital-e Events likely has you ready for a siesta. Resist the urge, sleepy-pants — it’s time for a fiesta, courtesy of lovely local theatre company 2b. The company were already planning to do a performance of Hannah Moscovitch’s one-act […]
