This Is Not A Hockey Game

This Is Not A Reading Series wraps up 2006 with its final two events of the year. With the temperature dropping every day and water soon turning into ice, what better topic than hockey?

Tomorrow, join Rheostatic/author Dave Bidini (On a Cold Road; Tropic of Hockey; The Best Game You Can Name) as he launches his new book of hockey erotica (Indigo will need a new section) The Five Hole . Joining Dave to celebrate the book will be the sketch comedy troupe, The Imponderables. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Gladstone, and is free.

The following day, December 6, TINARS presents Hockey Night in Toronto with The Globe and Mail's Stephen Brunt (Searching for Bobby Orr), Stephen Cole (The Canadian Hockey Atlas), and Gare Joyce (When the Lights Went Out). They'll spend the evening discussing everything and anything hockey-related and will be joined by author Bill Gaston (Gargoyles) by video. It takes place at Brass Taps – 934 College – beginning at 7:30 p.m. and is free.
