Urban Planner: December 16, 2008
MUSIC: Human Highway is the result of a collaboration between singers Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn. They are currently touring their new album Moody Motorcycle, which brings them to the Tranzac Main Hall tonight. The Magic performs as the opening act. Tranzac (292 Brunswick Avenue), 8 p.m., $12.
WORKSHOP: The latest do-it-yourself workshop at the Linuxcaffe covers the art of making jewellery from recycled electronic parts. No need to toss that keyboard into the trash when it can be reinvented as a lovely necklace or cufflinks. Materials will be made available, but participants are encouraged to bring what they can as well. Linuxcaffe (326 Harbord Street), 7 p.m., $5.
THEATRE: Melissa D’Agostino’s South American alter ego Lupe performs A Very Lupe Christmas. Lupe is looking forward to experiencing Christmas in Canada, where it’s not necessary to sit in front of a real fire to stay warm. Bread and Circus (299 Augusta Avenue), 8 p.m., $15 ($12 with food bank donation).
MUSIC: Every Tuesday evening in December, Saint Dirt Elementary School will be in residence at the Southern Cross Lounge of the Tranzac. Their music is difficult to describe—pretty much like dancing about architecture. Have a listen. Or better yet, go and see them at the club. Tranzac (292 Brunswick Avenue), 7:30 p.m., pay-what-you-can.
