MUSIC | 6th Annual Bob Marley Birthday Tribute Weekend
If the legendary reggae king Bob Marley were still alive, he'd be celebrating his 66th birthday this Sunday February 6th. There's no question that celebrations (of some form) will be happening all over the city, but one of the chief parties happening is the one at Annex Wreckroom. They are actually throwing two, both in support of the Yonge St. Mission Food Bank. Tonight's performers include Blessed, the Legendary Willi Williams, Truths and Rights, Kaesun and more.
The Annex Wreckroom (794 Bathurst Street), 9:30pm $10

ILLUSTRATE | Opening Night: Sketchrieg Presents Paper Trail
Paper Trail is a collaborative comic book narrative where the comic artists and illustrators that make up the collective Sketchrieg each take a turn at illustrating a panel, not knowing what the other artist before them has drawn up for the story. What results is a graphic adventure with unexpected twists and turns that even the creators themselves are not aware of. It is being presented tonight, worth a visit! Note: This was originally scheduled for last night but has been rescheduled to tonight.
