Until October 4
\nCreature feature
\n<\/i>Creature Comforts<\/em> is happening now. What is it? Good thing you asked! It\u2019s an exhibit going down at the Maritime Museum of BC until October 4, showing what it\u2019s like for animals who live at sea. Dogs on boats? Geese on boats? Reindeer on boats?! Hold on, reindeer are real? See mmbc.bc.ca for more info.<\/p>\n

\nFarmbox fun
\n<\/i>Head down to Cafe Solstice (529 Pandora) at 11 am to see how you can get more involved in the local food movement. This is a meeting of the Camosun Farmbox group, and it goes down until 1 pm.<\/p>\n

\nGolf\u2026 for charity!
\n<\/i>Well, why not? You can do anything for charity these days. Might as well be golf. I\u2019ve never actually golfed. I don\u2019t know, there\u2019s just so much to do. My to-do list is outrageous. I used to have a physical list, now I just remember it all in my head. Or, you know, forget it all. I\u2019m not quite the man I used to be. Anyway, Cordova Bay Golf Course, benefit for Victoria Cool Aid Society, more info and registration at drivetoendhomelessness.ca or 250\u2013383\u20131977.<\/p>\n

Thursday, September 12 to Sunday, September 15
\nRiff time
\n<\/i>Just in case you had an urge to see Courtney Love recently, she\u2019s playing this year\u2019s popular and successful Rifflandia music fest, along with a zillion other acts, including Big Boi, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Death From Above 1979, and many more. Info: rifflandia.com.<\/p>\n

\nThey are the walrus
\n<\/i>The Walrus<\/i> is one of Canada\u2019s best magazines, so we\u2019re excited that The Walrus Talks series is coming to town. Head to the Belfry Theatre to hear eight deep thinkers talk for seven minutes each (and long for the days when people could talk for more than a handful of minutes at an event\u2026 but I digress). Call 250\u2013385\u20136815 for info or to buy tickets, which are $25.<\/p>\n

\nFarmbox deadline
\n<\/i>If you want to pick something up at Camosun Farmbox\u2019s pick-up market on Monday, September 23 (12-3 pm, Fisher courtyard, Lansdowne), today is the deadline to let them know! Pre-pay $19 through the bookstore or CCSS offices. See camosunfarmbox.wordpress.com for more info.<\/p>\n

\nGalactal pop
\n<\/i>We\u2019re only sort of sure that \u201cgalactal\u201d is a word, but here\u2019s what we do know: The Centre of the Universe recently closed to the public, and that\u2019s a huge blow. Come drown your sorrows at Lucky Bar while listening to Young Galaxy\u2019s shoegaze pop. Or, as those promoting them would say, their songs of \u201cazure longing.\u201d Sounds fun! Haha, no, I\u2019m just kidding, it doesn\u2019t sound fun. But, I fully recognize and understand the power of longing in music and the wonder and greatness of seeing said music performed in a live situation. As for tossing around the word \u201cazure,\u201d well, that\u2019s a funny thing to do! It\u2019s interesting, the older I get, the less I want to hear music filled with longing of any kind. I\u2019ve heard about this phenomenon. Maybe because you get more… hey, you still reading?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
