Once again, I'd like to create a post that will give my readers an opportunity to give feedback on events I can't make it to, and to let you know what I'll be going to (in case you'd like to join me). The only lecture which I am planning on attending features a couple of writers from The Onion which should be pretty hilarious. It's on Thursday at 8 in the MU. I probably won't make it to the one on primate aggression which is Friday the 5th at 9AM. The only home athletics event is the football game next Saturday; I will of course be there. The Varsity isn't getting anything new this week -- I reiterate my recommendation that you see Wall-E on the big screen, and The Longshots still doesn't appeal that much to me (I'm not hearing the buzz that I did for Bend It Like Beckham) but I'd love to hear about it if you go.
The M-shop is having a whole lot of bands for only $5 tonight and $7 tomorrow, all local. Tonight's are described as "indie pop rock" and I would say that they sound a little like early Smashing Pumpkins or Green Day (but I'm dating myself by saying that). Tomorrow's are described as "Indie Shoegazer Folk Rock" which puts me in mind of Simon & Garfunkel, but I'd say they're more like what would have happened if Nirvana had been on antidepressants instead of illegal drugs. There's shows Wednesday and Thursday as well, with acts from further away. Wednesday is also described as indie pop rock. I'd say they sound more like current pop music. Thursday is electronica and I'm not even going to risk my eardrums listening to a sample. How do I know what any of these bands sound like? the M-shop links to Myspace pages. There's also other music around campustown at the usual venues. Let me know if you catch any.
Reimann Gardens is having a "weed warrior days" Thursday morning. If there are any other events in walking distance of the neighborhood, this is the post to comment on them.
I've added some tags to this and my previous entertainment posts describing the costs associated: free, $($1-10), $$ ($10-25), and $$$(more). Football gets both $$ and $$$ since you can get a hillside ticket or spend pretty much as you want (in the thousands, no I am not kidding) in order to get better seats out of your season tickets, which are $300 by themselves. A regular seat will still get you into $$$ range, though.

I did make it to Papa's Corner -- managed to get in before the cover started, so I couldn't tell you how much that was -- for the first set of the first band of the evening. I also didn't get the name of the band. It had a nice classic rock feel, and was a literal Five Man Band.
