\n<\/i>If you\u2019re a fan of the unconventional, the untraditional, and the weird yet beautiful things in life, Ramey Newell\u2019s art exhibit Manifest Obscura <\/i>is for you. In the exhibit, Newall combines analog photography and microbial processes to show off traditional western landscapes in a very non-traditional\u2014or \u201cobscure\u201d\u2014way. It\u2019s a great place for a first date\u2014it shows your creative, deep, and wonderfully weird self if you bring them here. The exhibit is free (unless you buy a painting\u2014then, well\u2026) at Deluge Contemporary Art; see deluge.ca<\/a> for more information on this and other exhibits.<\/p>\n

The night will feature short documentaries as well as experimental films by Indigenous filmmakers including, to name just a few, Jessie Ray Short, Jade Baxter, Caroline Monnet, Alexandra Lazarowich, Marjorie Beaucage, and Conor McNally.

\nSeen and heard\u2026 finally

\nRemembrance and action
\n<\/i>One cannot write about only happy things.

\nGirl Power
\n<\/i>It may not be the \u201990s anymore, but the pop sounds of the Spice Girls are still very capable of wedging into your brain with songs that stay in your head (or, rather, refuse to leave). Wannabe: A Spice Girls Tribute are playing at the Capital Ballroom on November 7; doors are at 7 pm and tickets are $20. See thecapitalballroom.com<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

\nDress in your Sunday best

These talented young dudes have a few influences\u2014there\u2019s a bit of a Doors vibe and a bit of punk, yet at the same time they have a unique sound that is all their own.

\nGet loud and proud and snotty
\n<\/i>There\u2019s nothing better than listening to music that is awesome and also makes you think.
