Saturday
Nuit Blanche
IT'S NUIT BLANCHE, YOU
GUYS!
This is the very first year that this all-night event is in Ottawa and it's getting me pumped! This year's working theme is Life Is Beautiful. Art and cultural venues will remain open late into the night in the Byward Market and the Hintonburg neighbourhood. Wait, there's also something called “Roaming” where artists... roam. Here's the link to those ones (right here). I don't know how to find where they will be roaming... so... just tell anyone you see who looks a little homeless that you like their art and hope for the right reaction.

Also,
there are installations around the city that are not in the Byward
Market or Hintonburg area but in a place called Outerspace.
Okay,
here's a map.
Good luck!

Art Show
This art show will have
20 exhibitors with original fine arts and crafts. Sometimes these
things have a booth selling homemade jams and jellies; with
Thanksgiving right around the corner you can't afford to miss out on
some delicious cranberry-based spreads.
Ten percent of the sales
will go to Shepherds of Good Hope. Also, the Wine Rack is sponsoring
so obviously pick some up before you head home.
Lincoln Fields Shopping
Centre, 2525 Carling Avenue. 10 am - 4 pm Free admission.

Get Organised
Now, now — don't turn
up your nose at a library seminar about putting off procrastination.
Maybe if your local OTW blogger went to one of these you wouldn't
have to wait so long between review posts and maybe get your events
before the
Friday of the weekend.

Sunday
Jesse E. Byers
Have a listen: here
It's a little bluesy, I
guess, but it reminded me of the music I love from the 90's. When
listening to 'Blueberry Sunday' I
thought to myself “How Billy Corgan of you, Jesse E.
Byers”.
The Elmdale Tavern is super quaint and personable. It's really a great place to soak up some music so go and do that.
