Valentine's Concert Saturday at Annex Live

It's Valentine's Day Monday, but I think a lot of people might celebrate this weekend instead. It's pretty hard to tart Monday up as romantic, no matter how hard you try.

Close to home, at The Annex Live, singer Donna Greenberg is launching her new CD Mav'rik with a Valentine's Concert on Sat. Feb. 12th.

The cover charge is $15 and reservations are recommended.

Cheers,

Vanessa

Here's the scoop:
"Trey Anthony Studios & See Saw Live Productions presents “LYME AND TINGS”, Toronto's only Apollo-style talent competition for singers, MCs and spoken word artists! Hosted by the savagely hilarious comedian, Trixx!
Twenty contestants will vie for a $500 cash prize and have the chance to be seen by Toronto’s decision makers. From industry insiders to talent scouts, at LYME AND TINGS you never know who will be in the audience. But you can’t miss the judges!
Rachael-Lea Rickards (actress, playwright), Jemeni (performance poet, comedian) and CoCo “Cognac” Brown (singer, and winner of the last LYME AND TINGS) round out the judges corner. With the help of the audience, they'll be making the cuts and critiques! Recording artist Gary Beals (of Canadian-Idol fame) and acclaimed spoken-word artist and producer Dwayne Morgan join the team as featured performers and guest judges.
For a night of FRESH talent, belly laughs and a “LYME-LICIOUS” menu offering a 3-course dinner for just $20, this summer's LYME AND TINGS is NOT to be missed.

VoteTO at Annex Live Tonight

This sounds intriguing:
"In any given election, there are issues and ideas, policies and possibilities, that tend to fall through the cracks: matters that merit discussion and debate but which get shoved aside in favour of a focus on the usual horse race.
#voteTOin416 is a platform for such ideas.
Speakers have four minutes and sixteen seconds to inject something new and different into the discourse of the 2010 municipal election."

It takes place tonight at Annex Live and you must RSVP to attend, though it's free to get in.

Cheers,
