Thursday, August 15 and Thursday, August 29
\nArts and Alzheimer\u2019s
\n<\/i>Does someone you know suffer from dementia? If so, head down to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria on one of these two days for a guided gallery tour for people with dementia and their families. Space is limited; email info@werageweweep.com or call 250\u2013920\u20139573 for more info or to register.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 17
\nIs this thing on?
\n<\/i>The Cheesecake Burlesque crew have new performers, new acts, and more excitement to share, so head on down to Lucky Bar at 8 pm for Test Kitchen<\/i>. Tickets are $17 and more info is at cheesecakeburlesque.com. You know I didn\u2019t even try cheesecake until I was an adult? And, truth be told, I\u2019m still a bit baffled as to what it is. Is there cheese involved? I don\u2019t know, but I love the stuff. Cheesecake, that is. And cheese!<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 17
\nFree music is good music
\n<\/i>Well, unless it totally stinks. Then that\u2019s no good for anyone. Anyway, Dan Kosub and Sam Weber are playing for free from 1 to 4 pm in Market Square; we can\u2019t vouch for their stinkiness but we\u2019re betting it\u2019s going to be good stuff. Notice anything weird about their names, though? Same amount of letters in both their first and last names and also same pattern of vowels and consonants. That\u2019s more than a bit odd, no? Unless, like me, you learned that the rhyme is actually \u201c\u2026 and sometimes Y and W.\u201d But no one seems to be with me on that. Anyone?<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 18 and Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25
\nI\u2019m getting all misty-eyed here
\n<\/i>Check out the Morning Mist Canoeing program, where you can paddle out in Elk\/Beaver Lake, looking for turtles, herons, and other neat-o creatures. This stuff goes on from 8 to 11 am, so you gotta get up early (and you\u2019ve got to be over five years old to get in). Plus, the one happening on August 25 is 18+! Adults only! Man, let us know what goes on at that one if you make it out. Because it sounds pretty awesome.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 20
\nLonely Factor
\n<\/i>Saskatoon producer Factor is hitting town while touring his latest album, Woke Up Alone.<\/i> He\u2019s playing at the Copper Owl; head on down to help him stave off his loneliness. Hundy Thou and ILLanI are opening. $13, 10 pm.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 20 to Saturday, August 31
\nRomp, stomp, glomp!
\n<\/i>No, just kidding. Glomp isn\u2019t a word (yet). Romp!, however, is a very real thing, a festival of all things dance. Check out suddenlydance.ca for info on the many, many events happening during this celebration.<\/p>\n

Friday, August 23
\nEverythinglandia
\n<\/i>Artlandia will feature six exhibitions and five installations at the new Atomique Productions and Rifflandia HQ. Plus, an installation that lets you play as part of a band! And more, including a mini-golf course. 7\u201311 pm at 1501 Douglas Street.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 24
\nNothing to do with Royal Canoe
\n<\/i>Another five-letter last name, another consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant combo. Unless you\u2019re too busy smelling conspiracy theories like I am, head down to Canoe Brewpub to check out Chris Velan, who is playing with opener Jake \u201cmore than five letters in my last name\u201d McFadden.<\/p>\n

Friday, August 30
\nSounds too much like \u201cflute\u201d
\n<\/i>Flume is coming to town, and perhaps we can forgive the beatmaker for having a name that doesn\u2019t exactly pack a punch, as he\u2019s only 20 and comes from Sydney (Australia, not BC; I\u2019m from Sidney, BC, and I played the flute in middle school BUT none of that matters). This goes down at Sugar, tix are $16.50.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 31
\nCure that flute hangover
\n<\/i>Head over to Sugar to see Deerhunter playing with opener Cindy Lee. This is an early show, happening from 7 to 10 pm, so don\u2019t be late!<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 31
\nDon\u2019t like Deerhunter?
\n<\/i>Fine, don\u2019t go see them then, go to Lucky Bar to catch Victoria\u2019s Michael Wood Band at 8 pm. I mean, you could go catch the first hour of the Deerhunter show, then hop over here. But you\u2019d still miss Deerhunter, I think, if my math is any good. Which it\u2019s not. Well… it\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1
\nBlues Bash
\n<\/i>Duke Robillard is playing on Saturday at 7:30 pm as part of the 19th<\/sup> annual Vancouver Island Blues Bash at the outdoor stage at Ship Point in the Inner Harbour. Tickets are 30 bones. On Sunday, check out the Stephen Barry Band and Adam Karch for $25. There are also bands playing for free on Saturday, Sunday, and also on Monday, September 2 at noon at Ship Point. Head to jazzvictoria.ca for lineup info and a full schedule.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, September 3
\nBetter than \u201cInlet Sound\u201d
\n<\/i>Royal Canoe? Sounds like a hip west coast entrepreneurial venture operating out of the back of someone\u2019s van in Tofino. But, nope, it\u2019s a band. $16, Lucky Bar.<\/p>\n

Until September 5
\nSmall for sale
\n<\/i>The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria\u2019s Summer Small Works Exhibition and Sale is free to get into, which is good because you\u2019ll want to save up those beans to take home something from one of the local artists. (Psst! If you\u2019re an artsy type, head to the gallery on August 17 as well, because everything in the gallery shop will be 20% off that day).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
