The House Café
Live music every(almost) Friday and Saturday night. I have had some neat experiences and met interesting people through this place. Definitely worth going a couple times a month. Open mic Thursday nights, but I prefer Friday and Saturday.

Open mic at Oolong Tea House in Kensington
open mic Tuesday nights!
Dance Montage 24-26
This is a cool dance show, as it has many different styles of dance in the production. Hip hop, contemporary, Bollywood, and a lot of "fusions". Last year, Gessuri Gaitan's piece blew me away. I like this show because the tickets are inexpensive (or free as a Uof C student), but it will always surprise you with something new. Chances are, someone you know is in the show, go check it out!

Good Life Community Bike Shop
For some reason, this wonderful store has been in Eau Claire for years and I never knew. Non-profit space of volunteers to help you with your bikes. People donate old bikes and they fix em up reallllll nice, then sell them at a very cheap cost! This place is all about promoting bike culture in Calgary. Got myself a beaut there this week, very excited and scared to try it out in the snow. If you need a new(old) bike, or help tuning up yours, these people are great!

That's all for now. Updates happen often, so check throughout the month.
