Let 'I Heart Edmonton' guide you through the upcoming weekend
WELL Edmonton, it's Thursday, which means that a new weekend is just around the corner! For those of you who work for the weekend you might want to listen up...or read on, in this case. Here's some of the things that are going on this upcoming weekend (December 18th-20th):
-Not in the Christmas spirit yet? Maybe the Jubilee could help you out with that, as they are welcoming the return of "The Singing Christmas Tree" from December 18th to the 20th (7PM Fri/ 4PM & 7PM Sat/ 4PM Sun). This will be the 40th annual "Singing Tree" concert and the first since 2005. Tickets are at Ticketmaster (780-8000).
-Montreal-born musical comedian and Internet celeb Jon Lajoie ("Everyday Normal Guy") will perform two shows this Friday (December 18th) at the Myer Horowitz Theatre (8900-114 St.). The first show will start at 7:30PM, followed by a second at 10:15PM. Call 780-492-4236 for more information.

-The Washington Capitals are in Edmonton this Saturday (December 19th) to play the Oilers over at Rexall Place. The puck drops at 8PM. The game is on CBC, so there's always the option of watching it at a local pub instead.
