Until September 26
\nGet disoriented
\n<\/i>Check out Dis\/Orientation Days, a new take on the timeless orientation days that colleges and universities offer. With workshops, field trips, activist tours, a movie night, and disability advocacy events at UVic, this promises to be a fun and interesting time. Check out tons more info at viprg.ca\/disorientation, and, hey, this might be geared towards UVic students, but what\u2019s stopping you from joining the fun for a bit?<\/p>\n

Until October 5
\nArtsy types
\n<\/i>Just Before Dawn<\/i> features the work of Caitlyn Ambery, all paintings, all inspired by the west coast and northern BC. Check it out at Dales Gallery, 537 Fisgard.<\/p>\n

Until October 17
\nThe Bard is back
\n<\/i>Shakespeare Onstage Offstage is a huge, multi-venue, multi-format celebration of the Bard, with performances, exhibits, special events, and activities happening all over the place. Check out a complete list of what\u2019s up at internetshakespeare.uvic.ca\/onstageoffstage. Oh, stop complaining, the Bard wrote all his stuff by hand! You can type out a long url for once.<\/p>\n

Until November 5
\nThe choice is yours
\n<\/i>Want to help decide what short documentaries will get screened at the 20th Victoria Film Festival? You\u2019ve got to go to the downtown library between noon and 1 pm to watch them and place your vote. Head to victoriafilmfestival.com for more info.<\/p>\n

Until January 12
\nArtwork in flight
\n<\/i>Urban Thunder Birds\/Ravens<\/i> in a Material World highlights recent and new work from Coast Salish artists Dylan Thomas and lessLIE, who would probably be really annoyed if we just went like this: Lesslie. But I don\u2019t know how much freedom I can give with the caps lock stuff anymore. BUT SERIOUSLY, this exhibit looks great and is going down at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.<\/p>\n

Sunday, September 22
\nWho in the world is\u00a0<\/i>Derwin Blanshard?
\n<\/i>The premiere of season two of Derwin Blanshard\u2019s Extremely Classy Sunday Evening Programme<\/em> is going down at the Victoria Event Centre at 8 pm. But, what exactly is it? Well, it\u2019s a fictional TV talk show that in the past has featured guests such as Mayor Dean Fortin and Mayor Nils Jensen, CBC\u2019s Bob McDonald, and musician Carolyn Mark. Local funnyguy Wes Borg plays Blanshard. $20, doors at 7:30 pm. For more info, shoot an e-line to wesborg@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

\nTwee tweets by tweeters
\n<\/i>As long as no one shows up claiming to be a \u201csocial media guru,\u201d we think Twestival Victoria sounds like a good idea. Head down to the Bengal Lounge in the Empress for this charity event for the Cridge Centre for the Family. See victoria.twestival.com.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, September 25
\nGalactical grooves
\n<\/i>Young Galaxy and Human Human are hitting up Lucky. Just imagine if aliens landed and saw that gig poster. WHAT WOULD THEY THINK?<\/p>\n

Monday, September 30
\nCancer Bloody Cancer
\n<\/i>Cancer Bats are coming to town, and opening the show is Cancer Bats\u2026 playing Black Sabbath songs under the name Bat Sabbath. Here\u2019s what we think: Cancer Bats are a good band, and Black Sabbath are a very good band. This is a good idea. Maybe not a VERY good idea, but I\u2019ve heard of worse ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
