In today's Urban Planner: pen a note with other writers at the PAL-SAC meeting; be a gentleman (or lady) caller who drops in on Soulpepper's The Glass Menagerie; see local bands from the Reason for Hope compilation CD play live, in support of cancer research; and play bingo (and win prizes) among the oddballs at Bingo: the Show.
