Well there's some good stuff for you to go to over the next couple weeks. Hope you can make it out to a few of these... they all look like rad shows.

Eventfully: This Week + new blog segments

I'm going to start 2 different segments on this here blog of mine. The first is "Museums, Ya Need 'Ems", (maybe I"ll come up with a better title eventually) I am going to visit every single museum in London and review it. I'm not sure if you're aware, and honestly I wasn't until very recently, but there are quite a few niche museums in London. Besides the obvious, Museum London and the Children's Museum, there are a bunch more! Including the "Secrets of Radar Museum" and "The Medical Hall of Fame" among others. Maybe I'll do the cheese museum in Ingersoll too... and the baseball museum in Beachville!

The second segment will be about "Clubs" (entitled "Clubbing"). No, not dance clubs, real clubs where like minded people with similar interests come together and.. do stuff? I'll be writing a profile about each club, what they do, where they meet etc. I'm going to start off with some UWO clubs but I'll be profiling clubs in the greater London area eventually too. Highlights will include (hopefully) juggling, asian board games, knitting, and hamburger enthusiasts.

If you have any suggestions for either of these segments leave a comment or please email me at paterson [at] openhouseartscollective.com!

Also there's a big long Shad review coming soon, but for now here's what's going on this week! Check out the listings after the jump.
