• Where: Rickshaw Theatre – 254 East Hastings Street, Vancouver

Vancouver Canucks vs. Dallas Stars

• When: Thursday, December 3; 7 p.m.

Bell Witch

• What: Seattle’s Bell Witch, doomiest of doom-metal bands, hits Cobalt tonight like a ton of angry, growling bricks. Headbangers, rip the sleeves off your t-shirts and lay out the day-after neck brace. You’re going to need them.
• Where: Cobalt – 917 Main Street, Vancouver
• When: Thursday, December 3; 8 p.m.

Future Loss at Grunt Gallery

• What: Tonight marks the opening of Future Loss, the new exhibit from Zoe Kreye at grunt gallery. Here’s a taste from the website: “Space, on this strip and in this city, is currency, and Kreye’s work reaches through overarching narratives of real estate, gentrification and speculation to consider the poetics of an individual’s connection to place.” Heavy stuff.
• Where: grunt gallery – 116–350 East 2nd, Vancouver
• When: Thursday, December 3; 12 to 5 p.m.

Mike Vecchione at the Comedy Mix
