A to-the-point 4-day arts & entertainment outlook that some will call bland

Our good friends at the Arts Council of Sault Ste. Marie and District have once again provided us with a a quick and concise summation of live entertainment around the community this weekend. We at the Sootoday arts and entertainment page are feeling pretty low-key and haven't come up with any fancy way to present it to our faithful readers. So, this is our bland outlook, chock full of exciting things to do. To prove how bland we are feeling, we have even dug up a picture of Mr. Bland (really) who taught at Lewis County High School circa 1959-1961, although word on the street was that he was quite an interesting instructor. To clear away the blahs, get yourself a slice of Hobo Pie at Foggy's, check into the House of Cancer Zodiac Party with Bhang Lassi at Loplops, or check out the reggae-ska-punk-rawk-world underground supergroup Random Order at the Downbeat.

If you have any other arts-related events or activities that you would like to add to our page, email us at [email protected].
