ANZA Club, 3 West 8th Ave; 7:30pm Wed, mid-month; 9)
Visiting movie nuts with a penchant for making their own flicks - or just chewing the
fat with those who do - should unspool their film at one of Vancouver's coolest under-
ground hangouts. Held every month at the ANZA Club community hall, the club is a
drop-in for local filmmakers and video artists who like showing their shorts to anyone
who turns up.
The results - seven mini-epics are shown over the course of a couple of hours - are
always interesting, and the screenings are followed by a few beers and a chance to rub
shoulders and chat with local auteurs.

; ANZA Club, 3 W 8th Ave; 7:30pm Mon; 9)
A weekly public
jam session for local bluegrass nuts staged upstairs at the ANZA Club, everyone is wel-
come to watch or join in here. A great way to meet Vancouver fiddle-huggers, this foot-
stomping night out is staged throughout the year, with a summer break to rest those
weary plucking fingers.
The group also stages concerts throughout the year - check their website for upcom-
ing events.

;
Our Town Cafe, 245 E Broadway; 7:30pm, third Tues of the month;
9)
Even if you haven't packed your ukulele, you can still drop by this monthly strum-
fest at
Our Town Cafe
to enjoy dozens of locals performing at all skill levels. It's hard
not to smile as they work through their songs and jam along to each other, often spilling
out on to the street on summer evenings. Suggested donation: $5.
Arrive early for dinner and you'll also have the pick of the tables for when showtime
rolls around - the menu is of the hearty soup and sandwiches variety.
