WORDS: Author Mark Osbaldeston presents his illustrated book Unbuilt Toronto to the Lake Ontario Waterkeepers for the charitable organization's second-ever Book Club night.

The Waterkeepers' aim is to educate Ontarians about how to fight for clean and safe water where we live and play; in keeping with their doctrine, Book Club night is open to everyone. The Cameron House (408 Queen Street West), 6 p.m., FREE.

So, although we’ve only just spent a whole post gushing about Sprockets, we can’t really forget about the other excellent stuff that’s going on this week. The Images Film Festival closes this weekend, and we’ve been told Live Images 4: Quasar, tonight at the Music Gallery (197 John) at 9:30 p.m. is the hot ticket, as it features “an army of modified 16mm projectors and a quadraphonic sound system to envelop the audience in a pulsating array of light and sound particles.” Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, IMAX!

Now here is an interesting thought, readers. Grindhouse, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ homage to classic trashy double bills comes out this week, and, if you want to see it, you have to see it in a multiplex, because not one of the independent cinemas here (or we imagine anywhere else) are showing it.
