What would an iguana do? A 4-day arts and entertainment outlook

The Sootoday Arts and Entertainment Iguana has just about had enough. As if it is not bad enough that there are only 25 of its kind left in the world, but it has been entirely left out of the decision-making process for things that people in our community should do this weekend. With its subtle style and dependence on Corona-drinking hippies for its survival, no wonder it is ticked off. Despite its near extinction, you will likely find our blue iguana tempting fate and cruising the Queen Street strip on Friday night, splitting his attention between bigsuit at the Downbeat, Inner City Surfers at Foggy Notions and The Perpetrators at Loplops. Then bright and early Saturday morning, our faithless iguana will be off to do some quilting at the Soo Curlers Club. To join the Blue Iguana Recovery Program (where you will quite likely get to share *beverages* with other tree-hugging types like yourself), click here.
