EEEK! This show will probably be a little grunge. 9 PM. The Biltmore. $6.

THE
TING TINGS
“Ughhhhh,
I HATE them. Don’t go to this show. Most. Annoying. Band. Since. The New
Testament.” – JJ Brewis. “Are they like, trying to be reggae or something?” –

Maybe it’ll be fun. 8 PM. Commodore Ballroom. $38.50.
WHATEVER
TUESDAY
It’s
not a big deal. Whatever you’re worrying about, it’s seriously no biggie! Life

BAHAMAS
@ THE MEDIA CLUB
From
JJ: Toronto's Afie Jurvanen brings his new album "Barchords" to town.
How is this guy only playing the Media Club? See him now before he blows up
like City & Colour or something and then you can legit complain about all
those things people complain about when a musician rightfully gets successful.
8 PM. The Media Club.
“DID
YOU KNOW THAT THAT ’S ONE OF MY FEARS?”
“Wizard
people?” “No, lizard people.” “Like the queen?” “No, not like the queen. What?”
“See, look at this, ‘The queen: a lizard person’.” Close-to-real-life
conversation here at the Courier office.
WEDNESDAY
MARCH 28
MEDIA
CLUB SHOW
Featuring
The Copilots, Selina Koop & The Blanks, and Karma Sohn. I put this event in
because my friend Nancy knows Selina Koop and apparently it’s weird for her
because we’re both named C/Selina and our last names start with K and we also
kind of look a bit alike. 8 PM. The Media Club. $8.

a picnic and enjoy live music and standup comedy in support of Kiwassa and Frog

YOUNG
JEEZY
When
I asked everyone if they knew who Young Jeezy was, everyone was like,
“Celinaaaaaa come oonnnnn why don’t you know aaaannnything.” Well, whatever

Kelly song! 9:30. Plush Nightclub. $50–$150.

I
WENT ON A DATE LAST WEEK AND IT’S SUPER COOL BUT I’M NOT SURE HOW I SHOULD ACT
NOW
Like
he’s really cool! He’s so cool. But how can you tell if someone thinks you’re
cool??? Life is so complicated! I’ve never been in this situation before ever.
And like, okay, 1) I keep getting worried that maybe he thinks I’m cool but I’m
not making it clear that I also think he’s cool but 2) Then I switch to like,
he probably doesn’t even like me! Like what is this? Do you guys know?
YAHOO
ANSWERS
Has
most of the answers. I feel like I should write about my date on Yahoo Answers.
And it’s like, is he posting stuff that appeals to me on Facebook ON PURPOSE to
trick me into having a crush on him? BECAUSE IF SO, IT’S WORKING.

APRIL
FOOL’S DAY
Prank
idea: putting saran wrap on someone’s toilet. Prank idea: calling someone and
pretending to be someone else. Prank idea: exploding golf balls!!! Prank idea:

so all the juice is a weird colour. HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY! HAPPY PRANKING!
