What’s going on in Halifax this weekend

It’s that time again. The weekend.

If you’re looking for something to do, there are multiple options.

On Friday night, Menz Bar is holding a Fetish Night in the Music Room, with the cover going to support Manna for Health, the AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia Emergency Fund, The Lodge That Gives, and the YouthProject.

Also at Menz Bar, the East Coast Rainbow Softball Association will be holding registration for their summer league this Friday. Check out their website for more info.

This Sunday, Jenn Grant will be hosting a show at The Company House in support of the family of Raymond Taavel. Grant was quoted as saying, “We are a special town who do things for one another in a time of need. All we can do is all we can do.” Tickets can be found online.

And since it is Friday, that means Office Dance Party time here at Down East. I recently got stuck in a mid-’90s phase on my iTunes and created a small playlist of songs. The capper, the one that makes me go off, is this one. Created by Josh Wink, under the moniker of Size 9, is this crazy tidbit called “I’m Ready.” It brings you up, tears you down, brings you up, then makes you explode. This record is not for the faint of heart or for those of you who can’t handle extended drum rolls. Perfect way to finish your Friday.
