Well hello there. You're a person-about-town who's working on a play/concert/one-human-show that's not so much confessional as it is semi-autobiographical, really, and if you love Fleabag you'll be totally into it.

The Scottish kings of pirate metal on the addictive rush of Magic the Gathering and Mountain Dew.

The mega music fest continues to surprise and inspire.
To call Halifax Pop Explosion a varied fest feels obvious: The venerable event has been celebrating the best of local, national and international acts for more than two decades. A peep at this year's schedule alone—which saw bluegrass-y concerts in churches slotted next to sweeping emo showcases on the city's biggest stages—belies both the breadth of experience and sound that awaits when you buy a wristband.

The Coast takes you to three results parties in the Halifax riding for a taste of the election night energy.
After a nearly too close for comfort six-week campaign that did little more than expose how poorly we Canadians are educated in the ins and outs of our governance system—and puff unearned wind into fringe party ideology—Halifax (and the country) gets another go at Liberal leadership. All four Liberal incumbent MPs in Halifax Regional Municipality (Andy Fillmore, Geoff Regan, Darrell Samson and Darren Fisher) were re-elected by their constituents.

Says he's giving such lengthy notice so others have time to plan to vy for his seat.
With plenty of deep breaths and a few sideways smiles, Stephen Adams made it through his announcement with almost no tears in City Hall Friday morning.
Adams, Halifax's longest-serving councillor, told colleagues and media that this year would be his last in politics. Adams, says he chose to make this announcement now in order to give anyone in his district—Spryfield - Sambro Loop - Prospect Road—sufficient time to plan to run in next year's municipal election, which will take place on October 17, 2020.
