Thursday, January 9
\nMake an exhibition of yourself
\n<\/i>I never knew this was a thing, but apparently even the Royal BC Museum has a happy hour. This is a mindfulness-themed happy hour for adults (how adult do you have to be?) with museum fare, drinks, and tapas. You can tell people you got drunk with a wooly mammoth; what could be better than that? Happy hour runs from 5:30 pm to 7 pm, and tickets are $10; see royalbcmuseum.bc.ca<\/a> for info.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 11, 18, and 25
\n<\/span>Fill up on social justice
\n<\/i>Researchers from The Canadian Institute of Substance Use Research will be speaking at Sex, Drugs and Alcohol Use and Overuse, a three-part information session about people who are marginalized by sex, drugs, and alcohol addictions, and the government policies and laws that are involved. This should be an educational and worthy experience. The info session takes place at the University of Victoria from 10 am to 12 pm; tickets are $15. See uvic.ca<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 11
\nTotal ear punishment
\n<\/i>If you\u2019re a fan of loud, loud, and louder, then checking out local sludge metal band Mendozza, along with Heron and 1982, should be on your agenda for January 11. The ear-blasting starts at 9 pm at Logan\u2019s Pub; tickets are $10 at the door. See loganspub.com<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 14
\nNew to town?
\n<\/i>If you are a visiting student from a far-off place, a recently moved student from a far-off place, or just someone who wants to welcome people to this glorious city we live in, the Victoria Newcomer Connections Mixer is a good place to expand your social network. The free event starts at 6:30 pm at Moxie\u2019s Grill & Bar; see moxies.ca<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Thursday, January 16
\nFinding emo
\n<\/i>Feeling blah in the wintertime? You aren\u2019t the only one, and these folks have decided to put it to music. Fog Lake, Foxes in Fiction, and Katie Laine promise to fill you with emotion and heartfelt indignation. The good times go down at Lucky Bar; the doors for this early show open at 7 pm, and tickets are $13.50. See luckybar.ca<\/a> for details on this and other upcoming shows happening at Lucky.<\/p>\n

Friday, January 17
\nTripsy what?
\n<\/i>It\u2019s called Tripzy Leary\u2019s Cyberspace Tour, and I think it\u2019s a rave. It starts at 10 pm, it will have lots of techno music, and it promises extraterrestrial encounters, so I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019m right. The place to trip is the Capital Ballroom, and tickets are $22. See thecapitalballroom.com<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 18
\nLive it up and laugh
\n<\/i>One of Canada\u2019s big acts, the Snowed in Comedy Tour, is coming to the Royal Theatre to offer a night of pure, uninhibited laughter. It\u2019s a nice way to start off the new year\u2014laughing so hard you\u2019re crossing your legs to keep the pee in. The show starts at 8 pm, and tickets are $45; see rmts.bc.ca<\/a> for more info, and see page 8 for our Snowed in Comedy preview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
