The light is changing. The dark days of winter are over. It's almost the beginning of March. It's what Tony calls "Emotional Spring." Time for rebirth and renewal. Are you ready?

Open mic performers have been coming early since it's first come first serve at the bar. So come early if you want an early spot.

We are looking forward to getting together, sharing the magic & enjoying the music! As always, special thanks to our sponsors L&M, Woodhouse... See you all the Piston!

For the next instalment of The Piston movie night series we feature two silly and dark humoured films to please your sick and twisted minds!

Please join us for this cold and dreary month's presentation of:

-8pm Eating Raoul 1982 dir/ Paul Bartel

Taken from Rotten Tomatoes:
"Dark, wild and silly cult comedy."
"Eating Raoul is a lively black comedy about the aftershocks of the sexual revolution in America."

-10pm Female Trouble 1974 dir/ John Waters

Taken from Rotten Tomatoes:
"Deeply offensive in virtually every way, this film is a trashy delight that is also a perfect introduction to John Waters' early work."
"If you are looking for a film to unearth your deepest, most subconscious fears-and to stretch the boundaries of your comfort zone-then Female Trouble is for you."

*Please note these films are both in bad, yet funny (for people with a sense of humour) taste.

*This is a free event - doors at 7pm
Piston will have a few treats like popcorn and donuts but feel free to bring your own snacks.

In case you're wondering, yes, we have seating (Adirondack type plastic chairs) on the dance floor for viewing.
