Seven days ahead
Pairing artists from disciplines as various as music and hairstyling, with often surprising (and well-coiffed) results, Brief Encounters is one of the city’s more fascinating arts series. For BE 9, organizer the Tomorrow Collective has assembled duos such as a painter and filmmaker, a dancer and chef, a storyteller and an electric percussionist, and a textile artist and a keyboardist. Did we mention those involved have only two weeks to collaborate? See the results at the ANZA Club April 22-24. For more info visit www.tomorrowcollective.com.
brING ME SOME WATER
Thicker Than Water: My Sisters and I tells the story of Rosario Ancer and her seven sisters growing up in Mexico. Through narrative, dance, sound effects, stills and video projections, the Flamenco Rosario production takes the audience on a journey from Mexico to Spain to Canada. Thicker Than Water runs at the Roundhouse April 29-May 3. Call 604-631-2872 or visit www.ticketstonight.ca for tickets.
JOY OF JUGGLING
When not sword swallowing or spinning our poi, we hard-working Seven Days Ahead scribes like to juggle. And that’s why we’re totally psyched for a couple of upcoming Thomas Arthur shows at the Cultch. On April 24-26 this so-called “lyrical juggler” performs a family show called Luminous Edge, which tells the story of a wizard’s apprentice. AirPlay, April 26 & 27, also at the Cultch, is a more kid-oriented act in which Arthur juggles hoops, spheres, spirals, sticks, stones and cones synced to original compositions for guitar and fiddle. We bet even as we write this he’s out there somewhere juggling. Call 604-251-3311 for tickets.
Anyone remember the Del Fuegos? The Boston rock band put out a few albums in the ’80s, including the acclaimed Boston, Mass. Well, now lead singer Dan Zanes performs kid-friendly music for children and parents. He and his band perform at the Chan Centre April 27 at 3 p.m. Call 604-280-4444 for tickets.

Surprise surprise! A cop abusing his power?! In case some of you didn’t know, most cops are worse than criminals. Try to avoid them at all costs.
The days of giving those in power the benefit of the doubt are well and truly behind us.Those in power, cops, politicians etc etc should be viewed with the utmost suspicion.
For that kind of abuse of power they should loose their jobs, and pensions! What the HELL were they thinking!And the security guards who let them get ahead in the line should also be punished, but not fired. The security guard should have contacted their police station to “Confirm their identy” and “accidently” let it slip that they were cutting in line for a PS3.

“to remove any items colored scarlet”…
I live in Providence, and I must say this isn’t the most law abiding city around. The former mayor was jailed for spending mafia money on the city. The mafia it self, while no longer in organized crime, run a lot of places like bars that’ll serve 18 year olds. These cops however were douches.
Modded up for mentioning the little-known environmental cause of “water liberation!”
funny that you mentioned that brstilson:a couple of nights ago, i speed up in my car just to make the last few seconds of the yellow light when out of nowhere an undercover cop (on the other street perpendicular to me) went into the left turn only lane (to turn onto my street) and instead darted through the intersection (once again going perpendicular to my car). I hit my brakes and drifted sideways avoiding the crash while he turn a violent turn and popped the curb nearly hitting a bench and trashcan.I was like wtf just happened.the undercover reversed off the curb and just kept on going as if nothing happened.
The power of PS3
They should be fired, not disciplined. This is abuse of power, and actions unbecoming of an officer.
Head first with a video camera! Also, we really should have seen the video of the parents returning home.
I ***** hate cops. They are the scum of the ***** earth and deserve to rot in hell. If only such a place existed…
Someone shoulda tasered his ass.
Hey, depression is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a treatable illness, and countries with it can lead normal, fulfilling lives.
