Tomorrow night, treat your ears to an evening of Toronto's finest experimental musicians. The launch party for MusicWorks's spring 2007 issue will be held at the Gladstone Hotel Artbar, Sunday March 11th, at 8 p.m. The event will include performances from Rick Sacks, Anne Bourne, and Rob Clutton, and members of Autorickshaw. Cover is pay-what-you-can, $10 with a magazine, or $25 with a subscription.

And so the penultimate day of the festival ends. To be honest, it really does almost feel like day nine was kind of the final day; certainly for press and industry, anyway. All of the press screenings end by the afternoon, and it’s the last day the press office and the video tape library are open all day. We had a fairly quiet day, filling in some films that we didn’t get a chance to see in the festival until now, before hitting the Peter Mettler Elsewhere event and the Midnight Madness. We heard that there was a Vice Magazine party on, but we also heard something ridiculous like it was held in an abandoned factory that was on fire.

Bloggers, festivalgoers, volunteers and Yorkville shopkeepers can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but there's still plenty of fest left.

Wow, we can't believe it's half-over. It seems like just a few days ago we weren't sure how we were going to cope with the film fest taking over our city now we're not sure how we're going to fill that empty hole in our hearts when the curtain falls on Saturday.

For those of you who didn’t attend on Wednesday night, the news coming out of the Pontiac Quarterly is that founder Damian Rogers is leaving the poetry/prose/arts/music night. Liz Clayton is taking over organizing and hosting duties, with her first edition slated for October.
