Mamabolo featuring Barbara mamabolo, John Kastner and director Rob stefaniuk will play a few songs after songwriter showcase.
What it means is this: Jeff has produced a movie called Suck, that will be screening at the Atlantic Film Festival on Friday (September 25th). Some of the cast of the movie are also in town and are musicians. They will be making a special appearance at The Carleton directly following the Atlantic Film Festival/Songwriter's Association of Canada Songwriter's Circle Soundtracks & Stories (also at the Carleton on the 24th - 7 PM). Incidentally, the movie is about a rock band of vampires and also stars Jennifer Pare, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Dave Farrell and Malcolm MacDowell!
Barbara Mambolo is joined by John Kastner (who some of you may remember from seminal Canadian rock band, The Doughboys and Rob Stefaniuk who wrote and directed the film... Admission will be free. Come out!
Getting Crafty with Handmade Nation

On Thursday, September 24th, Halifax's enthusiastic crafting community will be gathering up their yarn and heading to Park Lane for the screening of Handmade Nation. This inspiring doc about crafting and DIY culture features folks who knit, embroider, make prints, blow glass, make jewelery and do just about any other crafty thing you can think of. They talk about why they love to craft and how it fits into larger ideas of social and environmental justice.
Don't miss the awesome craft-crawl of events before the screening:
The Loop (1547 Barrington Street) will host Loop Group from 6 to 8:30 pm. Bring your craft-in-progress, and enjoy some treats while work. I'm going to bring the scarf I've been working on for three years and ask someone how the heck to bind it off. Seriously, I just keep knitting and knitting 'cause I don't know what to do.
Love, Me Boutique (1539 Birmingham Street) will also be hosting a pre-screening reception from 7 to 8:30 pm.
And it doesn't stop there! When you head over to Empire Park Lane, theatre 3 for the Handmade Nation screening, at 9:30 pm, there will be hands-on crafting demos and tons of door prizes!
So whether you're a veteran crafter or newbie like myself, (who just enjoys occasionally affixing a lot of glitter to construction paper and calling it art), this event will be amazing!
