Today in Toronto sidewalkscreening.MOV, Whippersnapper Gallery, and Pleasuredome are throwing a screening party and series launch at Buddies in Bad Times, which will surely be a lovely gif-t. Sorry. Good Enough's live karaoke band will be at the Garrison every Thursday this month, and best of all admission is free.

Speaking of covers, Hervana is at Velvet Underground for the Year Punk Broke. The Fringe's Next Stage Theatre Fest (January 7 - 18), a smaller version of the warm-weather Fringe but a must-hit for Toronto indie/punk theatre fans, continues. For more events, click on over to our events section.
