\nLet your Backbone slide
\n<\/i>A celebration of Vancouver experimental cinema from 1967 and 1981 either sounds like the most interesting night ever, or the weirdest and most painful experience of your life. Find out at 7 pm at Open Space Gallery (#2\u2013510 Fort St.) when MediaNet and Open Space present Backbone: Vancouver Experimental Cinema 1967\u20131981,<\/i> an hour-long documentary film followed by a 40-minute program of five experimental short films by artists that were active during that period.

Saturday September 6 and Sunday September 7
\nAnarchists and books, together again
\n<\/i>The ninth annual Victoria Anarchist Bookfair takes places at the Fernwood Community Hall (1240 Gladstone) and includes book and info tables, workshops, readings, films, presentations, and many more things to do with anarchism and anti-capitalism (which, we suppose, go hand in hand). The bookfair is open to anarchists and non-anarchists (phew) and features participants from all over North America. Go to victoriaanarchistbookfair.ca<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

Sunday, September 7
\nTrying really hard not to make a Peking duck joke
\n<\/i>The National Acrobats of the People\u2019s Republic of China are coming to town with their amazing, action-packed live show, Cirque Peking, at UVic\u2019s Farquhar Auditorium at 2 pm (note: the 7 pm show has been cancelled). Tickets are economical at $26 for students ($36 for non-students and $16 for kids) and family packs are available for $100. Go to uvic.ca\/auditorium<\/a> for more information on what\u2019s surely to be a memorable, physics-defying show.<\/p>\n

\nHit the beach\u2026 at Lansdowne?
\n<\/i>A beach-themed party on campus takes place today, featuring the trusty \u201cbeverage\u201d gardens, activities, games, and other tomfoolery, presented by the Camosun College Student Society. It\u2019s a perfect chance to catch up with your former classmates, and make friendly with your new ones, over a brew or three. Go to camosunstudent.org<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

Thursday, September 11 to Sunday, September 14
\nRifflandia takes over Victoria again
\n<\/i>As we told you in our feature story about reformed Victoria band Bum (see page 6), Rifflandia Music Festival is coming up and it\u2019s got hundreds of bands playing all over the city to check out over a four-day period. There are too many bands playing to list here, but let\u2019s just say you can see Death Cab for Cutie, Le Butcherettes, The New Pornographers, Airbourne, and Zed\u2019s Dead all at the same festival, so there\u2019s something for pretty much anyone (unless you like metal, punk, grind, hardcore, or noise, but that\u2019s another story). Go to rifflandia.com<\/a> for the full lineup and schedule.<\/p>\n

Saturday, September 13
\nWelcome to Punklandia
\n<\/i>Can\u2019t afford to hit up Rifflandia this weekend, or maybe just annoyed at all of the indie rock on the Royal Athletic Park grounds and its general lack of loud? Well, you\u2019re in luck, because just down the street at Logan\u2019s Pub is a punk-rock show with a lineup that\u2019s like a kick in the teeth by a pair of Doc Martens. Playing are California\u2019s Bishop Greens, Kamloops\u2019 Soundcity Hooligans, Calgary\u2019s Knifedogs, and Vancouver\u2019s All Out Panic. Riffland-a-what-now?! Best yet, the show is only $12 at the door! Go to loganspub.com<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

\nTweed Ride promotes Victoria biking
\n<\/i>Like to ride bikes around the city, but tired of circling endlessly on your own with no real noticeable direction? The Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition is doing their fourth annual Tweed Run, starting at 11 am at St. Anne\u2019s Academy and ending at Esquimalt Gorge Park. All proceeds from the ride go to Bicycles for Humanity, which donates bikes to people in developing countries. Registration is $10 or free for children 12 and under.
