A weekend awaits

THIS WEEKEND
It's too late for me to vote for the People's Choice at the Kingston Prize show at the Grand (open from noon -4 tomorrow) but my fave won anyway - Marina Dieul for Le Defi. It isn't too late to see the Prize (exhibition closes tomorrow) or bid on one of the works at the Art on The Street (185 Princess St.)

Friday, 23. For me it's The Diva and The Maestro at the Grand from the Symphony at 8 but I wish I could clone myself to see Really Live Electronics Concert at the Artel ($5/$10) with Nicolas Collins and Ben Manley that’s part of the Tone Deaf Festival at 9. There's so much going on that one of us is going to Thousand Clowns at Domino and the other to Diva!

Saturday 24 More Tone Deaf about Alvin Lucier –Two portrait concerts (4 & 7 pm) at Sydenham United Church..... OR The Afro Cuban All Stars at the Grand (since I probably am not getting that Cuba trip this year?)How much rationalization can a gal do (while remembering to book a haircut)? Booked the tix and the Cuba concert, so we HAVE to go to Tone Deaf on Sunday...

Sunday 25– Cam Shaefer has his SongLab at 2-5 pm at RCHA, featuring Danielle Lennon (who also we be starring in Theatre Kingston's new show) and Brian Flynn. Then there's a whole day of free Alvin Lucier stuff at the Agnes. Talks by the man himself at 11 a.m., one by Nicolas Collins at 2, and a panel discussion with lots of people at 3:30. www.tone-deaf.org
