Until Tuesday, June 25
\nPhotos of things<\/i>
\nMan, the hardest part about writing these listings is coming up with \u201cclever\u201d headlines for each one. Take, for example, this listing, for the photo exhibit People & Places<\/i>, by Helene Cyr, happening at Dales Gallery, 537 Fisgard. The best I could come up with, after thinking about it for two straight minutes, was \u201cphotos of things.\u201d Still, made you read this far, I suppose. Exhibit looks good, too. Nice photos.<\/p>\n

\nFredY<\/i>
\nThat wasn\u2019t funny, sorry. Wait, June 12: that\u2019s, like, tonight if you grabbed this issue the day it came out. If you didn\u2019t, this has already happened. So, we\u2019ll keep it quick: TEDxVictoriaLive, a free simulcast of TEDGlobal 2013: Think Again is going down from 9 am to 7 pm in the Quarterdeck of the Grant Building at Royal Roads. Quick, get over there! Or, you missed out! One or the other.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, June 12 to Saturday, June 22
\nNext-level theatre<\/i>
\nHead over to the Uptown Mall upper level to check out a new \u201cimmersive theatre project\u201d called From the Heart: Enter Into the Journey of Reconciliation<\/i>. What does it all mean? I have no idea.<\/p>\n

\nStomping stigma<\/i>
\nThe second annual Stigma Stomp Day is happening from noon to 3 pm at Centennial Square. Come enjoy music, speeches, face painting, and get there early for a free shirt. Stomp stigma with this event, put on by the Bipolar Disorder Society and Bipolar Babe Project.<\/p>\n

\nNext up: Suburbanite<\/i>
\nIf you\u2019re over 19, head down to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria for their annual Urbanite night from 8 to 11 pm on June 14. Live music (with an \u201cextreme fiddler\u201d!), cocktails, storytelling, and exhibition tours. Lots of talk of \u201cstorytelling\u201d these days, no? Here\u2019s a story: the photo of the fiddler looks awesome. There are chains involved.<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s not really all jazz<\/i>
\nThat\u2019s what no one gets. Why is Jazz Fest called Jazz Fest? Will anyone ever really know the answer to this question? Head over to jazzvictoria.ca for lineup info. Spoiler: it looks good.<\/p>\n

\nTake a cosmic ride<\/i>
\nActually, don\u2019t take a cosmic ride. That sounds super lame. It\u2019s just what the press release about this concert said, and we thought it was funny. But, to the best of our knowledge, most reputable folks stopped taking cosmic rides a good decade or so ago. Anyway, if you want to take a taxi ride down to The Copper Owl on June 23, do it, and check out Toronto psychedelic rock folks The Highest Order, who would probably dispute everything I just said about cosmic rides.<\/p>\n

\nPickled pepper pushback<\/i>
\nPick a Piper is the new project from a dude from Caribou. Playing The Copper Owl on June 30. Remember that time in elementary school when I entered a talent show and recited tongue twisters? No? That\u2019s because you didn\u2019t know me then. But I did. Can\u2019t remember how that went, but it sounds pretty absurd. I\u2019m still not half-bad at that stuff. Not the seashell one, though. That one is super tough.<\/p>\n
Saturday, July 6, Sunday July 7
\nSkam artists<\/i>
\nTheatre SKAM\u2019s Bike Ride is going down on these days, and also again on Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14. 13 short shows along the Galloping Goose Trail. Zany! Head to skam.ca for the lowdown on this cool event.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, July 10
\nUVic is a battlefield<\/i>
\nAt least it will be on this night, when \u201980s icon Pat Benatar brings her hits to UVic. What is the audience going to be for this? That\u2019s worth the ticket price alone. Plus, \u201cLove Is a Battlefield\u201d is just a really, really good song. And remember \u201cHit Me With Your Best Shot?\u201d Oh yeah. Tickets are $55\u201385, and the fun starts at 7:30 pm at the Farquhar Auditorium up at UVic.<\/p>\n
