If you’re in Montreal, we urge you to leave your cozy apartment this weekend! Here are a few good reasons to pull on your boots:
- FaGaGaty Ass Friday: queer dance party benefiting sex-ed with a Lady Gaga theme! Come on out to The Playhouse tonight (5656 ave. du Parc) and wear your best bubble bodysuit and bow-tie hairdo!
- The Balconies are playing on Saturday! They are nice folks and excellent musicians with a plush makeout-mobile for touring, which is what they’re doing right now! Come see them rock out along with The Darcy’s and Jane’s Party at L’Absynthe (1783 St. Denis) on Saturday. More here.
- BEATS AGAINST THE POLICE is the finale of the Forum Against Police Violence and Impunity (January 29-31).
