Hi Gang!

After a lengthy absence, and due to a bout of (temporary) unemployment, I'm back in the blogging saddle. At least for now, until I run out of topics or you get sick of my ass.

Lets just get right into it... there's a shitload of events to cap off the month of March. First off...

NEAR DARK! If you're not familiar with this movie, all you need to know is that it's the first solo directorial effort from this year's Academy Award Winner for Best Director, (the uber hot) Kathryn Bigelow. Plus, its a vampire movie that doesn't involve shirtless, poncing, sparkly models from Details magazine pretending to be creatures of the night. The vamps in this one are of the freaky, southern-fried drifter variety - stone cold killers. As an added bonus, 1/3 of the cast of Aliens are featured.

Don't miss out on a rare 35mm screening of this horror classic, this Friday, March 26, 9PM at Metro Cinema. Tickets are only $10 and available at the box office. We'll have prizes to give away, and as always, drinks will be provided by Filthy McNasty's (where good people do bad things!).



Then on Saturday, we've got not one, but two events involving sexy, kickass girls. Whet your appetite for destruction with the Alberta Six Pack Roller Derby match, where the girls of Eville will take on Calgary in not one, but THREE matches.

The girls will be hitting the track at 6PM, but before that, you can check out Eville's new junior team, showing off their moxie at 5:45. There will be plenty of vendors on hand, and even a wrestling demonstration at halftime!

Tickets are available at all Happy Harbor Comics locations, Megatunes on Whyte Ave, NABI in St Albert, online at rollergirl.ca or email info@e-villederby.com. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Kids 10 and under are FREE
