5 Great Events this weekend - Feb 26-28
FNQ is buzzing with great events, here's a few to do this weekend.
LIFE WITHOUT ME - Rondo Theatre
“My life just seems to go on, but without me in it. ”If you don’t know who you are and you don’t know where you’re headed, you might find yourself spiraling in ever-tightening circles until you come to rest in a nondescript part of town; in a crummy two-star hotel, where the service is churlish, the lift doesn’t work, the toast is burnt and the pot plants set off your allergies. But! Keep our expectations low, really low, and who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised by how everything works out
