Expozine is Montreal's annual small press, comic and zine fair. This incredible event brings together nearly 300 different creators of all kinds of printed matter - from books to zines to visual art and comics - in both English and French. In the past seven years, Expozine has grown to become Canada's largest small press fair, attracting thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors from as far afield as New York, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, and Quebec City.

At Expozine, you can discover a multitude of publications that can be difficult to find in the first place, much less altogether in the same room! The result is a rare opportunity to peruse the work of hundreds of young and emerging authors, publishers and artists, and to see what the winners of last year's Expozine Alternative Press Awards are up to. Not to be missed!

The Tree of Life, published by Pulse Editions
By: Christina on: Thu 06 of Nov, 2008 [00:49 UTC] (33 reads)

This book is intended for those who, in these difficult times, question the very meaning of existence and the troubling events of our era, without reaching a satisfactory conclusion. September 11, 2001 was the opening salvo of a series of events, destined to usher in a global system that will provide solutions to the myriad problems affecting mankind. After providing a fleeting respite, however, it will go on to inflict horrendous evil.

In the aftermath of a catastrophe, it is beneficial for a nation’s people to recite the twenty-third Psalm; yet it is far preferable that they should live in such fashion that these catastrophes do not occur. God did not refrain from saving a handful of souls during the destruction of Sodom. However, His Son has said that, unless we change our hearts, we will perish like the people of the Galilee (Luc 13, verses 1 to 5).

Take the NANOWRIMO challenge! National Novel Writing Month!
By: Christina on: Wed 29 of Oct, 2008 [14:02 UTC] (87 reads)

Nanowrimo is NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth, the challenge to write a first draft of a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's possible to do even if you have a full-time job, but it is not easy. There's an informal group of Montreal-area nanowrimo-ers getting together once a week during October and November to talk problems out, assist and encourage one another, commiserate, and have fun. Currently we are meeting on Wednesday evenings at about 7PM in the Second Cup in Central Station.

For more information, visit: http://www.nanowrimo.org

For information about local events, follow the links from that site to forums, then to regional lounges, and finally to Canada, Quebec, Montreal. Or just show up at one of our weekly meets. Some participants like to plan their novels in advance. Others find it works better to have no preconceptions at all about what their novels are to be and start cold on November 1. There are no fees, no age limits, and no formal requirements to participate. You just need the willingness to try.

Lion in the Streets, by Tableau d'Hôte Theatre, Oct. 22 to November 2, 2008

LION IN THE STREETS

by Judith Thompson
OCT. 22– NOV. 2, 2008
AT MAINLINE THEATRE
(3997 ST-LAURENT)
WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY AT 8 P.M.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY MATINEE AT 2 P.M.
INFO/TICKETS: (514) 848-9696,
OR TICKETS@TABLEAUDHOTETHEATRE.COM

In a word – BRAVE! – this is one persistent adjective that comes to mind when reflecting on Tableau d’Hôte’s current stage production, terminating this weekend at Mainline Theatre on ‘the Main.’ Lion in the Streets, by Canadian playwright, Judith Thompson, is a raw, gritty, back, forth and spiralling downward journey. It begins with the recollection of a 17-year old ‘crime’ and ends, full circle, with some weird act of ‘forgiveness’, perhaps also of atonement. The dramatic narrative digs deep into secret-dread history; on route, it excavates into the darkest places of the soul...

JOHN & BÉATRICE, Bain St-Michel, October 14 – November 9, 2008
By: Christina on: Thu 23 of Oct, 2008 [00:06 UTC] (95 reads)

Infinithéâtre Opens 2008 – 09 Season with
Montréal English Language Première of

JOHN & BÉATRICE

By Carole Fréchette
Translated by John Murrell
Directed by Guy Sprung
October 14 – November 9, 2008

Infinithéâtre’s highlights another Québecois writer, introducing Anglophones to the award-winning Carole Fréchettte in the Montréal English language première of John and Béatrice at the Bain St-Michel, running from October 16 through November 9. Love, that little, four-letter word, mysterious and elusive, evoking a myriad of complex and confusing emotions, with as many definitions as there are people. We want it, crave it, seek it yet also shun it, hide from it or run as far from it as possible. With a season focussing on three themes, Love, Hope and Faith, Infinitheatre’s production of John & Béatrice will be taking a look at love from an unusual vantage: a vacant room on the 33rd floor of a city skyscraper!

"Well-to-do young heiress, intelligent and perceptive, who has never loved anyone is seeking a man who will interest, move and seduce her. Substantial reward offered."

Shola Doummar, Montreal artist and performer
By: Christina on: Sat 18 of Oct, 2008 [18:21 UTC] (173 reads)

Shola Doummar's CD: LIBERTÀ is a great favourite: Spiritual, melodic, meditative and soothing. I was lucky enough to get my copy the day Shola performed at the ICN Conference, held at FACE, in 2005. LIBERTÀ has become a permanent fixture in my computer disk drive, a guaranteed tonic against - you guessed it - stress.
