What to do.

Need some art for your home? Social Art KW guides you through painting your own 16”x20” canvas of a flamingo. Painting starts at 6:30 this Wednesday, August 9.

1987 was a good year for movies. The Apollo Cinema is celebrating the 30th anniversary of two cinematic classics this week. On Thursday, August 10 at 6:45pm, Fred Astaire Dance Studio presents a screening of Dirty Dancing. Then on Friday, August 11 at 7:30pm, check out 30th-anniversaryry screening of the best Arnold Schwarzenegger film Predator. Don't @ me.

Nick and Nat's Uptown 21 brings the best of Montreal to you this Thursday, August 10 starting at 7pm. "Merde! Montreal was good!" is a five course dinner inspired by Nick's epicurean escapade through la belle province.

Descendants Beer and Beverage hosts Music Bingo this Thursday, August 10 starting at 8pm. Instead of shouting out an answer - you have to sing it. Being tone deaf, this is basically the basis for all my nightmares.

Waterloo-Wellington Collective Craft Beer Week kicks off this Saturday, August 12 at Beertown Public House in uptown Waterloo. Come out and enjoy beer and cider from your fourteen neighbourhood breweries and cideries.

Recover from the week with a Life Appreciation Yoga Class at The Berlin downtown. It's a sixty-minute yoga practice led by Marsha Jaworski followed by a brilliant brunch menu from Chef Jonathan Gushue.

The Watchtower (280 Lester St, Waterloo) hosts their first ever nerdy karaoke night this Friday, August 11 starting at 9pm. Is it just Weird Al tracks all night? You'll have to go to find out.

Take a listen to a very special episode of midtown's own Devil's Cut Podcast with special guest host @midtownkw. This episode was recorded live at Arabella Park in Belmont Village. Belmont Village is in midtown. Discuss amongst yourselves.

In good retail news - Legacy Greens is moving from their location at King and Queen to 18 Ontario Street. They join Adventurers Guild, Two Goblets and the Apollo Cinema on what I will forever call Funtario St.
