What's Happening

Grand Parade with singer Sarah Jerrom, plays jigs and reels at the Tranzac's Southern Cross Lounge on Saturday, just one night in a jam-packed schedule.

The Annex Wreck Room at Bathurst and Bloor hosts the Governor's Bash Metal/Comedy Showcase Saturday night featuring lots of metal music.
$12 will get in you in to Lee's Palace tomorrow to see Montreal duo Handsome Furs.

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!

Clay Studio

My kids love working with clay! They get messy with a purpose, it's very tactile and they love the end result, too.

We joined the Gardiner Museum last year so that they could attend the summer clay camps, which they really enjoyed.

If you or your kids have thought about giving it a try, the Gardiner's Open Clay Studio is a good introduction.

Fridays from 6 to 8 pm and Sundays from 1 to 3 pm you can drop in and try wheel throwing, hand building and glazing. The cost is $8 for members, $10 for non-members, $5 for children and there's a $3 firing fee. It's first come, first serve and tickets are on sale 30 minutes prior to each session.
Cheers,

Vanessa
