Kite and A Priori - "Kite explores the boundaries between jazz and rock...Each member is a very active player in the Montreal jazz, indie, and improvised music scenes..." http://www.myspace.com/aprioriaprioriapriori

"A Priori are musically amorphous. They enjoy British comedy and the fruits of craft breweries. Some are in relationships, while others remain deviant and hopelessly romantic. They talk trash, and seek subjective truths in and around topics relating to juice, the printed word, CBC, and bike theft. They crave solidarity, and a decent nights sleep. Fela, Miles, Aphex, Glass, Reich, Dolphy, and Dilla would be, for them, the ideal dinner crowd." Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=112326422167723

We're hoping to fill up the front window with glowing orange faces! All ages are welcome to help design pumpkins and scoop out pumpkin guts, adults will yield the sharp stuff though.
Saturday is the farmer's market, so we suggest picking up a pumpkin there. If you don't have one, come anyways...we will share. Also, we can roast the seeds for a tasty snack during the movie!

At 6:30pm, we will be a screening "The Dark Side of Chocolate", an in-depth, undercover look at chocolate production in West Africa, followed by discussion about how we can make future Halloween events child-labour free. Chocolate, it's not as sweet as it seems.

We all have talents to share so let's break the spectator and spectacle roles and develop an artistic culture based on mutual respect and participation! Wether you play an instrument, sing, recite poetry, juggle fire, tell crazy stories, do performance art, DJ, dance, etc.

Although we will be making time and space available for everyone to participate, obviously showing off a talent isn't mandatory and you can definitely just show up to support the Bookfair and check out the show.
