Your favorite websites/blogs enlisting the arts/culture/music events happening in your city

November 13, 2008 12:24 PM

What are your favorite websites/blogs enlisting the arts/culture/music events happening in your city at any time? I am especially interested in events in larger Canadian cities.

I am looking for any websites to learn about local and/or underground art shows, gallery events, readings, small social artsy events, music live shows (local/small ones are okay), lectures, indie movie screenings and other. I travel a lot in Canada, so it would be nice to know where to look when I am in a particular city, but all suggestions for other cities are welcome.

Thank you!
