What's Happening

It's Environment Month and one way to Think Global, Act Local is to join the Saturday morning spring cleanup of Ecology Park. Located on Madison Avenue, just north of Bloor, the park is an initiative of the Annex Residents' Association. More details are on their website.

Lee's Palace has a packed lineup, including State Radio from Massachusetts Friday at 9 pm ($15), Destroyer, a/k/a Dan Bejar of The New Pornographers Saturday at 9 pm ($13.50) and Tuesday at 8 pm The Aggrolites play "dirty reggae" ($13.50).

The Bloor Cinema is one of the hosts of the Hot Docs documentary film festival this week. The lineup includes Shot In Bombay, about shooting films in Bollywood, The Rise and Fall of the Grumpy Burger and 1984 documentary Shut The Fuck Up that "cleverly takes on the mass media's focus on gossip, spectacle and celebrity instead of content in its treatment of art and artists."

Charlotte Cornfield plays The Central Sunday at 8 pm. Tickets are only $7.

Doug Valleau, Sharon Harris and Tara-Michelle Ziniuk read at Clinton's Tuesday as part of The Art Bar Poetry Series. It's free, but donations are appreciated.

And there's always 1001 Friday Nights Of Storytelling at Innis College Cafe, 2 Sussex Street. It runs from 8 to 10:30 pm and cost is a suggested donation of $5.

Whatever you do, enjoy it!
