What to read.

WeRally 2021 is Waterloo Region's campaign to host the 2021 Canada Summer Games. This Tuesday, February 28, head downtown to THEMUSEUM for a rally to show the evaluation committee why Waterloo is the right choice! Emceed by Mandy Bujold and Mike Farwell, the rally starts at 11:00am. They'll be handing out toques and noise makers to help you make some noise.

This week is the Kitchener-Waterloo Comedy Fest. Running from March 2 to March 4, the festival brings comedians from across Canada and the US to five venues around town. The headliner is Corner Gas creator and star Brent Butt. Check their site for the full schedule.

You should be following @canardiain on Twitter. I can't think of anyone more excited for the LRT system - and his photographs are insanely awesome.

What to do.

End your February with a night of improv with Second City alumni Kevin Vidal, Ashley Botting, Reid Janisse and Karen Parker at The Apollo Cinema (141 Ontario St N, Kitchener). Proceeds from Laugh Your Heart Out benefit KW Counselling Services. Tuesday, February 28 at 7pm.

Acoustic folk and wicked cocktails are on the menu at Grand Trunk Saloon (30 Ontario St S, Kitchener) this Wednesday, March 1 starting at 7:30pm. Onion Honey plays the first Wednesday of every month.

Rock Revival 2017 benefiting Children's Wish Foundation is on Friday, March 3. Watch an awesome cast take you on a lip-sync trek through decades of rock and roll classics. It all goes down at Elements Nightclub Kitchener (90 King St W, Kitchener) starting 6:30pm.

If you're like me, you've got dreams of opening your own Etsy store. But where to start?!?!? The fine folks at Etsy Waterloo Region have a one-day Etsy bootcamp this Saturday, March 4 from 10am to 4pm at the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre in Kitchener City Hall (200 King St W, Kitchener). You'll learn everything from what photos work, pricing, SEO, goal setting and shipping.

The City of Kitchener's 7th annual HockeyTown celebration is this Saturday, March 4 from 10am-4pm. This outdoor classic is five games of Kitchener Minor (tykes) playing for the Mayor's Cup. There is nothing more Canadian than little kids playing hockey. They also skate better than I'll ever skate.
