\nThree old men and a dog
\n<\/i>In the comedic play Heroes<\/i>, translated by Tom Stoppard, three WWI vets are in a retirement home, but their battles are not over. When the enemies are overzealous nuns and the boredom of endless birthday parties, however, the plan for escape might be more silly than suspenseful. Playing at the Langham Court Theatre; info at langhamtheatre.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nCanadian astronaut superstar
\n<\/i>Arguably the most famous Canadian this year because of a David Bowie song, Chris Hadfield is touring in support of his new book, An Astronaut\u2019s Guide to Life on Earth<\/i>. He will be doing a book signing at Bolen Books at 2 pm but probably won\u2019t be playing any guitar; that\u2019s just to pass the time in zero gravity, which Hadfield became the coolest Canuck to ever do.<\/p>\n

\nRock legend avoids Victoria
\n<\/i>Alice Cooper is a legend. Maybe he once bit the head off a chicken, maybe not. The really amazing thing is that he\u2019s still playing shows! He won\u2019t be coming to Victoria, but he will be playing two nights in Nanaimo at the Port Theatre. It\u2019s got to be worth the drive to see a legend in person, possible headless chickens notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

\nFuturistic meltdown
\n<\/i>Deltron 3030, made up of Kid Koala, Dan the Automator, and Del the Funky Homosapien, is bringing their set to Victoria for the first time for a sold-out show. The hip-hop supergroup\u2019s new concept album, Event II<\/i>, was in the works for years before this year\u2019s release. It\u2019s a streamlined live version of the material that will be played on tour, however. The show is at Alix Goolden Hall; good luck finding tickets!<\/p>\n

\nCountry rock is alive and well
\n<\/i>Roots-rock band The Treasures are bringing their classic sound to Club 90ne9. Inspired by country- and blues-rock bands from the \u201960s and \u201970s, their music is still modern and undeniably Canadian (all the way from Toronto!).<\/p>\n

Until December 8
\nThe Salmon Shuttle doesn\u2019t involve fish in space
\n<\/i>It\u2019s salmon spawning time, and even if driving the Malahat to Goldstream Park isn\u2019t your thing (what, you don\u2019t like white-knuckle passive-aggressive tailgating from the guy behind you who just can\u2019t believe you have the gall to go the limit on a deadly road?), you can still catch the action. RLC Park Services is offering a shuttle from downtown Victoria to the park for $10 (one way). A park interpreter will be in the van to share information about the salmon cycle. Go for a hike in the park while you\u2019re there and check out the old-growth trees. Info at rlcparks.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
