The Tranzac Club on Brunswick, just south of Bloor, has a jam-packed schedule, including the free-of-charge Jamzac's Open Acoustic Jam in the Southern Cross Lounge at 3 pm on Saturday.
Kaolin Designs on Dupont St (west of Bathurst) is having its Annual Canada Day Sale from Tues July 1 to Sun July 6. Prices for Patricia O'Brien's pottery will be reduced by 25 % and there'll be great deals on William Roddy's furniture, as well as tin toys, artist jigsaw puzzles and clocks.
The Black Angels and The Warlocks play Lee's Palace tonight. Tickets are $11.50.
The Bloor Cinema has an 11:30 pm screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Friday night. Does that ever bring back memories....
At The Central in Mirvish Village, pop singer Karen Kosowski takes the stage Friday at 9:30 pm.
Once in awhile I remind you about 1,001 Friday Nights of Storytelling. It's a bit further afield (Innis College Cafe at Sussex and St. George), but close enough to merit mention. Howard Kaplan is scheduled to host this Friday. It runs from 8 pm to 10:30 pm and the suggested donation is $5.
Next Thursay, July 3rd Bill Gladstone will be at the MilesNadalJCC presenting Jewish Toronto: Sunshine on Spadina. The cost is $2 (free for people 55+ and members).
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

What's Happening
Palmerston Library has been hosting readings as part of Keep Toronto Reading. Tomorrow at 7 pm features Common Denominator: Reading the New Toronto with Judy Fong Bates, Goran Simic, Shila Desai and Sayeeda Jaigirdar. There's also spoken word by Michelle Muir and music by master drummer Muhtadi. It's free and there's more info online at http://www.diasporadialogues.com/
There's several acts on during the week at The Central in Mirvish Village, including a Rock Band Open Mic night on Monday. The Tranzac is keeping things rocking, as usual, on Brunswick Ave. On the 26th, the intriguing sounding An Inconvenient Musical starts at 7:30 pm. Hmmm....
Well, I'm sure you've all seen the hype about the new Indiana Jones movie coming out. The Bloor Cinema is showing two of the first movies in the series throughout the week in case you want to refresh your memory, or introduce a little person to the whole whip-cracking, edge-of-your-seat adventure.
You also can go to The Bloor to catch Sunday night's Oscars ceremony. Everything's more fun in a crowd, right? Or with buttered popcorn? Doors open at 7:30 pm.
If the cold, snowy, windy winter has you down, maybe a little comedy will perk you up? Don't forget that Clinton's (on Bloor at -- where else? Clinton) has Catch 23 improv comedy showdowns on Monday nights and it's only $5 to get in.
Slightly farther afield, but probably worth the trip AND within walking distance: Robert Munsch, author of children's books Love You Forever and The Paper Bag Princess (just to name two) gives a storytelling concert Saturday at 11 am and 1:30 p.m. It's at lovely Convocation Hall, 31 King's College Circle, in the U of T grounds.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!
