Everything is FREE before 8pm, $10 after 9. All Ages, bar with ID all day.

A message from the organizers:

"PLEASE do not bring your own drinks. We have a wide range of affordable beverage options available. We run these shows with an event license and you bringing in outside alcohol jeopardizes our ability to put on great shows for you. Do not drink in front or near by either. Also, PLEASE be careful inside the venue. It is an ART GALLERY with ART ON THE WALLS. Do not touch the walls, do not graffiti the bathroom, or SHOWS WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. Please. Please. Please. We thank you in advance for not being stupid."

...So there you go. Your weekend, brought to you by Megaphone. Thank us whenever.

And since I guess I should include something to do on Sunday, Megaphone wholeheartedly recommends joining our writing workshop coordinator Daniel Zomparelli in his bed while he streams the Canucks game on his laptop. The game is at 5pm, BYOB.
