The Much Anticipated NYC Trivia Night
As a result of this post and from the fact that several of us just really wanted trivia to happen already/actually went to the trivia night at this place and had a good time, we are going to try our first NYC MeFite trivia night at Last Exit Bar. [more inside]

Meet up with me, Cantabrigians, Somervillians, et al!
I'm coming to Somerville for a baby shower next month, and would love to have lunch with local mefites on Monday, February 20. I'd love to go to Cambridge Common (I miss it), unless folks have reservations about it for a meetup for some reason.

The Just Ones
I'm seeing a friend in Camus's Les Justes (The Just Ones) on Saturday night. Anyone want to join me? He writes, It's Albert Camus being challenging as hell. Unreasonably passionate characters slamming up against terrorism, morality, violence begetting violence, death... also I'm rocking a pretty ridiculous beard. ... There's a Metro station, or you just do 395 to 110 to Wilson. Tickets.

Socializin', BBQin', and homebrewin'
This was pulled together on the spur of the moment, apologies for the short notice. A couple of us will be getting together Saturday evening to start batches of homebrew beer, and thought, what the hell, throw it onto IRL to see who else might want to show up. Although beer-making will be going on, the overall theme of "beer" certainly includes those who enjoy drinking it even if they don't get into making it. I'll be smoking some meats; bring other food and beer and we'll hang out....it's just that simple, really.

Toronto's Indie Comedy Hour
Toronto's Indie Comedy Hour is a show that you have to see at least one time. It's fun, it's low-key and it's held in a really nice venue, No One Writes To The Colonel (they have some bitchin' mojitos). The show has featured performances from Hannibal Buress (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Bob Kerr (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Hotbox), Marco Bernardi (Cream of Comedy 2010), to name but a few. Each show closes out with an open mic showcasing up-and-comers who may be featured acts in upcoming editions of the Indie Comedy Hour. FEATURED PERFORMANCES BY: - Avery Edison - Jon Kane - Blair Streeter - Diana Love [more inside]

Painting with Words & Fire (15 - 25 Feb)
Reveling in your passion is one thing, but when does it become an unhealthy obsession? Painting with Words and Fire explores the lives of three women: Penny a pyromaniac, who has a penchant for burning brothels; Jane, searching for one more poem from her boyfriend; and Sophia, trapped inside Lady Macbeth. They all find themselves at a crossroads. [more inside]

The Real Secrets Show
The Real Secrets Show presents engaging comedic storytelling from some of Toronto's finest performers, offering up stories of secrets they've kept and the impact they've had on their lives. Audience members and performers alike mask their identity and sign binding non-disclosure agreements at the door to create a safe circle of sharing. The Real Secrets Show presents the cathartic power of unburdening combined with hilarity to create a truly one-of-a-kind event. [more inside]
