What's Happening

It still feels a little slow around town... maybe because we finally got hot August weather? But there's a few things to amuse yourself with in the 'hood this week. No doubt everyone will shake off their summer stupor by next week and things'll be hopping again.

The TRANZAC has a full line up, including The Woodchoppers Association and The Friends of Fiddlers Green on Sunday.


The Bloor Cinema screens everything this week from Casablanca to the new Indiana Jones movie to Daryl's Hard Liquor and Porn Festival.
Talk about variety...Tuesday is Varsity Day. Students get in for $4 per show (with ID) to see the new Brideshead Revisited, the classic The Maltese Falcon and Canadian Indie hit Young People Fucking.

The New Deal plays Lee's Palace September 6. Tickets are $20.

The Annex Residents' Association meets Wed. Sept. 10th at 7:30 pm at The Annex Retirement Residence, 123 Spadina Road.

Whatever you do, enjoy it!

The group also needs contributions of baked goods, of course, and sorting help is required on Monday and Wednesday evenings, including Sept. 3, 10, 17 and Mon. Sept. 8 and 15 at 250 Davenport, in the Basement Common Room.

ARA volunteers needed

The Annex Residents Association (ARA) is looking for volunteers "who are willing and able to volunteer several hours over the summer and in September to help make the Annex Residents' Association Annual Book Fair a success.
This may involve such activities as picking up books from people willing to donate them, and sorting the books before the fair - then, if possible, helping on the day of the fair, which will be in late September.
This event, an Annex tradition, is an important fund raiser for the ARA, and is a fun community event. It won't happen without the help of a good bunch of volunteers."
If you're interested, you can contact the group through its website.
Cheers,
Vanessa
