$10 doesn't only get you admission to this bash, but a chance to compete for fabulous costume prizes in the categories of ...best Thriller, best killer, best sexy (yes, the chiller and diller get short shrift yet again), and best overall costume!

It’s that spooky time of year again and in the run up to All Hallow’s Eve, the Deet Street is getting psyched to bring a couple sets from some Railway veterans to get you movin’ your ghostly feet. The ...

Much to everyone’s excitement and, all right, dismay, the original line-up of this Catfish production (and our first of several Hallowe’en shows) has been being gradually whittled away through eerie attrition like the cast of Poltergeist. U...

Creaking Planks
As ancient lore tells it, Veloween is an age-old festival where for one day of the year old, dead, abandoned, dismembered and forgotten bicycles awaken to roll amongst the well-oiled and able-framed. We will celebrate together in copious ritualistic beer drinking and dance, possessed by the rhythms of the Creaking... Planks, the Fur Bearing Animals and DJ Steamboat Fatty. A practice known to raise the dead follows, the eldritch Jackson Zombie Dance Off. Offerings to the shadow world will be made by Little Woo and her shadow puppet fairytale.
The best dressed bicycle competition commences the moment Critical Mass arrives at the Anza Hall (3 W. 8th Avenue at Ontario); the rider of the best-dressed bicycle wins never-ending pints all night.
At the strike of one am — for those who are most fearless amongst us — we will ride naked in circles around our celebration (did we mention that the event is a fundraiser for the 2010 World Naked Bike Ride?) to chase the bikes of the dead back to the underworld!
8 pm – 2 am; $10 / $5 if in costume with Critical Mass.

Black Strap Sadie mounts the second of her extraordinary hootnannys down on Cafe Montmartre's cozy little stage, the next best thing to a front porch, where the bill boasts "everything from blues to bluegrass to old time to originals and all the beauty that there is, in between." Fortunately for us, that grey liminal ...zone is our specialty.
We play for tips at Cafe Montmartre!

Even with no Oven Mitts, we managed to not only survive but thrive at HPVIII (for this to make any sense, you might well have to have been there), playing a set after being sweetly set up by rising uke superstar Rian O’Hara, hobnobbing with Dennis from the Ging Gang and Anton from Chervona for t...
