Ab SchEgg and Easter Bunny Hunt
University of Alberta Campus
Thursday, April 2 at 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Free
Most of us don’t live in our parents’ basement anymore and can’t afford to keep up our favourite childhood holiday traditions. Luckily, the global organization Right To Play, who aim to empower children through physical activity, are hosting a campus-wide egg and Easter bunny hunt. Eggs placed around campus will have tricky riddles in the middle, which you can redeem for prizes after you solve them. Each time you solve a riddle, you get entered into a draw for even bigger and better prizes. Basically, the university will give you free things for picking up plastic while you’re on your way to class.
Lucas Chaisson CD Release
w/ 100 Mile House, Norman Fields
Brixx (10030 102 Street)
Thursday, April 2 at 7 p.m.
$15 at the door
Ever since Craig Martell of Wunderbar fame took over concert booking at Brixx, it’s now one of the hippest places in the city to catch a live show. Canadiana legend Lucas Chaisson is proving the success of the revitalization of the venue with the release of his new album, Telling Time. Joined by the celebrated roots troupe 100 Mile House and the up-and-coming Norman Fields, it’s going to be a delightfully optimistic set in what used to be a knitty-gritty rock bar.
Michael Rault
w/ OK Vancouver, KMVP
Wunderbar (8120 101 Street)
Friday, April 3 at 9 p.m.
$12 at the door
Some Edmontonians might remember Michael Rault causing a stir in the music scene with his lo-fi psych-rock anthems. After moving away from the City of Champions and re-establishing in Toronto, Rault has accumulated an extensive following all across Canada. Staying true to his Edmonton roots, he’s coming back to play a show at Wunderbar with support from punk weirdos KMVP and BC’s experimental pop trio OK Vancouver. It’s shaping up to be a night of mind-melting psychedelic music, so prepare to be blown away even if you’re too scared to try acid.
All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party

Remember the good old days when you used to wake up early to catch classic cartoons on TV every Saturday morning? Relive the glory days and nurse your hangover with the next instalment of Metro’s best pre-noon event. With over two hours of family-friendly cartoons and bottomless bowls of a variety of breakfast cereals, it’s the most innocent excuse for putting off your homework. Don’t even bother changing out of your pyjamas, and be ready to feel right at home with a bunch of strangers in a dusty, old movie theatre.
