The Annex Wreck Room at Bathurst and Bloor hosts the Governor's Bash Metal/Comedy Showcase Saturday night featuring lots of metal music.

The Bloor Cinema features some interesting older movies in the next week as far-ranging as Batman: The Movie from 1966 to a new 35mm print of Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows on Tuesday. Time Magazine said the latter "defined the French New Wave for the world."
Only singletons from 21 to 39 are welcome to attend Fastlife's Annual Little White Lie event at Lobby on Bloor, west of Avenue Road.
"Themed around the Little White Lies we all tell, [the party] boasts fabulous draw prizes, cheeky lying games, Lady Lie (our human lie detector – dishing out penalty shots upon lie detection) and so much more."
Participants wear -- what else? -- white. Things get underway at 8 pm and tickets are $25.
This Friday from 6 to 8 pm, attend the Open Clay Studio at the Gardiner Museum on Queen's Park Circle to try your hand at working with clay. Sunday from 1 pm to 3 pm is available, too --just get there 30 minutes prior to buy your $10 ticket.
Our own area is once again on a walking tour agenda, this time a free, guided ROMwalk Wednesday. Highlights included the Medical Arts Building, the First Church of Christ Scientist, the York Club, plus two residential styles of architecture unique to Toronto.
Meet at Avenue Road and Lowther Avenue at 6 pm.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

What's Happening
As part of ROMWalks, there's a free walking tour of the Annex Sunday at 2 pm. Look for the person with the blue umbrella at Lowther and Avenue Road.
Speaking of the ROM, it is the venue for Shanghai: City of the Future?, a panel discussion about "Shanghai, which in recent decades has experienced a building boom on a scale that is unprecedented in world history and has completely changed its residents’ lifestyle." It ties in with the current exhibit, Shanghai Kaleidoscope.
The panel discussion features architect Brian Andrew, philosophy professor Mark Kingwell and author Jay Pridmore and is moderated by Toronto Star architecture columnist Christopher Hume. Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.
The Annex Wreck Room at Bloor and Bathurst hosts Shattered Remains Presents Flatlined tonight. In addition to Flatlined, the hard rock acts include Three See, Brane, Silver Cade and Helcion. Things get underway at 8 pm and tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
Tonight you can catch "I ain't marching anymore", an event featuring protest and folk singer Phil Ochs and Zachary Stevenson at OISE, 252 Bloor Street West. Tickets are $10 and $20 and things kick off at 8 pm.
The Tranzac club on Brunswick, south of Bloor, has its usual full sched, including The Weather Station + Muskox + Anna-Linda Siddall Saturday in the Southern Cross Lounge at 10 pm. Admission is PWYC/$5 suggested.
For all ages, the Palmerston Public Library on Palmerston just north of Bloor, features Laugh Out Loud Stories Wednesday at 10:30 am. As the name suggests, storyteller Adele Koehnke promises to tell stories that will tickle your funny bone.
The Bloor Cinema is "all about" the Rolling Stones Saturday with three $10-each screenings of Stones documentaries. Also on the sched this week is the new Indiana Jones movie, which doesn't disappoint.
The Trane Studio on Bathurst features Philadelphia's Elliott Levin Friday at 9:30 pm with The Sharron Macleod Quartet. Tickets are $15 in advance.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

The Bloor Cinema has a raft of classic summer movies lined up this week, including E.T.: The Extraterrestrial; Bladerunner, The Final Cut; Independence Day and Jurassic Park. (Do I really need outgoing links to explain those movies?)
It's PS Mirvish Village this Sunday, meaning Markham Street just south of Bloor will be closed to cars and open to pedestrians (PS = Pedestrian Sunday.) July 13th's PS will emphasize the history of Mirvish Village and anniversaries of several local businesses will be celebrated.
The Palmerston Library is offering a comic book workshop for kids age nine and older on Wednesday, July 16 at 10:30 am. Register in person, or by calling 416.393.7680.
Just down the road on the same day -- July 16 -- children age two to six and their caregivers can enjoy Family Storytime Silly Stories For Children at 10:30 a.m. at the Spadina Road library.
The Annex Wreck Room at the corner of Bathurst and Bloor hosts the Toronto Independent Music Award Showcase tonight at 8 pm. The cost is $7.
Although the Tranzac is the HQ for The Fringe Festival, you still can catch some music there, including Torontonian Ronley Teper Tuesday at 10 pm.
