Saturday
Classic Albums Live: U2 The Joshua Tree
Everybody's favourite album from the best band out of Dirty Dublin (har har har) is being performed by Classic Albums Live; a versatile rock re-creation group with none of the hokey impersonations (and, unfortunately, none of the leotards).
Number 26 on the Rolling Stone's Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time (though perhaps we shouldn't take them too seriously. London Calling making it ahead of The Beatles (The White Album)? Please.) U2's The Joshua Tree will be performed “note for note, cut for cut” and the audience will “swear they're listening to the actual band” live. It's all the band's awesome with none of the band's price tag (and hopefully none of the Bono preachy nonsense).
Centrepointe Theatre, 101 Centrepointe Dr. $45.00. 8pm. 613-580-2700.

Penny Plain
The description from the website is pretty eloquent so I'm not going to mess around with it. See below:
“Penny Plain is blind, but she hears plenty about the state of things and the fate of mankind. When her companion dog Geoffrey leaves to live as a man, Penny sits waiting for the world to end. But her vigil is interrupted by survivalists, a serial killer, a cross-dressing banker, talking dogs, and mysterious strangers seeking sanctuary. Part gothic thriller, part apocalyptic drawing room comedy, Penny Plain shows the horribly funny consequences of mother earth reclaiming her ground.”

Late comers will not be admitted but hopefully publicly humiliated.

The Leafs vs The Sens
OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod. Ontario's NHL teams facing off in the Capital? Somebody's going to get groped on the OC Transpo (keep your fingers crossed for me).

The Only Event Worth Knowing About This Weekend
Cheneka's Birthday
Twenty-three years ago this Saturday, slimey and screaming, Cheneka came into this world for the sole purpose of rocking the shit out of every St. Patty's day.
This girl gets ready for St Patrick's day like she's a quarterback in the Superbowl
If you're downtown Saturday, send Cheneka a birthday message. We'll be the puddles in the Market.
Happy Birthday, Cheneka!
