I used to work for Cory a few years back. He has always been  up to snuff on issues relating to media, print, broadcast and the Internet.

Wanda Waterman St. Louis published notes from a conversation she had with me about t@b, myself and Ariana Nasr.

She also did a CD review of t@b’s latest CD…

There sure is a lot of performing art coming down the pipeline! Looks like all kinds of Nova Scotia residents have crawled out of their igloo with their latest productions. Or their igloo has melted in this recent onslaught of tropical heat in our latitude. Or maybe it’s just me, getting one of them hot flashes again. Confusion has a firm hold of me, and indecision is scraping away at the insides of my skull. Where to go? What to choose? The options stretch to infinity. It’s a smorgasbord of entertainment on countless silver platters. Women provide a huge share of artistry in the days to come. Check our listings.

On the day of this Grapevine’s appearance, three productions can be seen: The Vagina Monologues will be on stage at the MacKeen Room of the Acadia Student Union Building. The WOW production “Women of the Night” will premiere at the Festival Theatre. (Tickets are still available.) And on campus, in Lower Denton, Machinal, a play written by Sophie Treadwell, and directed by Anna Migliarisi is happening. That one sounds intense: “Inspired by the notorious Snyder-Gray murder trial of the late 1920′s, which led to the first execution of a woman in the electric chair, and set against the dehumanizing clatter of the machine age, Machinal is the story of an ‘ordinary’ woman who progresses from anonymous secretary to wife of the boss to young mother, adulterer and, finally, murder defendant.”

Jenny MacDonald will be featured at Paddy’s open mic (Mike Milne’s Monday Mayhem). “Passion for Dance” will bring together friends and students of Elizabeth Ryan at the Al Whittle Theatre. Along with special guests, they will celebrate Elizabeth’s friendship and support. Proceeds will go towards the Elizabeth Ryan Trust, benefitting children with autism and education in Africa, for the greatly under-privileged and disabled.

Andrea Curry will be at both, Night Kitchen and IWD Celebration

And just around the corner lurks international Women’s Day (IWD). A great celebration will be held on March 6 in the St. John’s Parish Hall, featuring Laura Smith performing with the Women of Paddy’s Irish Session. Many musicians will perform, including the women of TripALady, the women of Trillium and the women of Cuckoo Moon.  This will be a fundraiser for Chrysalis House and the Acadia Women’s Centre. At the same time, compositions of Carmen Braden, an incredibly talented Acadia student, will be performed in Denton Hall.

On Saturday the 7th of March, two women will headline “Night Kitchen Madness” at the Al Whittle Theatre: Sarah Pound, who just recently released an amazing CD, “It’s About Time”, will be featured as well as music therapy student and songwriter Andrea Curry, who will perform a with a woman from t@b. Meggie Lou from Hantsport, Erin Dalton and Marcie Clowery will perform at the event as well.

Out of Reach: My weekend with Dave Gunning.

The Grapevine has traditionally shown a significant interest in all kinds of events. Mostly it’s stuff that happens in and around Wolfville. In the centre of this newsletter, one can usually find two pages worth of event listings: films showing at the Whittle, musicians performing at various venues, gallery openings and other kinds of gatherings. I often wondered: How does the editor of this paper do it? Does she just dream up that the “Brothers” play the pub on the first Wednesday of February, thus compelling the “Brothers” to actually do it? I think NOT!

In fact: She diligently collects emails pertaining to events. She regularly checks the poster board at the post(er) office and other places in town, and she scavenges the internet for information. The Internet! Out of all things!

There are several web sites providing event listings for these parts. There’s one, however, which I’ve visited more often lately. It is called www.valleyevents.ca and appears to be incredibly well maintained. Secret: Grapevine people scavenge there with shocking regularity. A lot. Frequently. All. The. Time.

It’s really easy to use. I just type “valleyevents.ca” into that web browser thingie, and voila! It’s the silver platter thing. You’ll see a list of events, starting today. It’s fabulous. It couldn’t possibly get any easier than that. It gets more fancy though, if you like that sort of thing…

Above the web site title, you’ll find two tiny, underlined words saying location filter. Click on them and select a town for which you want to see listings. If you want to return to the default listing, simply click on the word “home” with the little house next to it.

There also a little button there that says: “map”. Clicking on it, without any incantation, can display a map which pinpoints all the locations where something, anything, is going on today. And if one clicks on any of those markers on that map, it will pop up a little bubble, explaining in precise detail what’s happening there. Boggles my mind. www.valleyevents.ca: Find out whats going on today!

Valleyevents.ca also can help event organizers anywhere in the valley. It is easy to become a “member” of this web site and add events to the listings. It’s also free. Cost nuttin! Just click on the word “Login” at the top right corner of the page. That’s how one finds a link that allows registration with the web site. Registration does involve an automated email verification process. Once that is completed, events can be easily added to the site.

Just imagine: When people who plan events register with this web site, accidental date collisions among competing events can be avoided quite effectively. The creator of valleyevents.ca must have quite a vision. They sure came up with something useful. Quadruple kudos to James Skinner! Check it out.
