For live music junkies, the week between Christmas and New Year's can offer very little in terms of quality shows. The folks at The Drake Hotel are trying to remedy the situation with their What's In The Box? week of shows. Running from the 26th to the 30th, the Drake Underground and Lounge are featuring the best acts from 2006. Each day is five dollars and features five bands, leading to a nice "5 Bands 5 Days 5 Dollars" slogan.
No time…Must get back down to Harbourfront…IFOA in full swing…Here are some other literary events taking place this week….
But back to boxes, and books, and Basement Records, where one of the characters in Golda Fried's book works. The book tells the story of Alice, a naive young McGill frosh. She hides out at the film society, and pines for a boy who wears black eyeliner. Sounds very good indeed.
