One humble opinion of how you should occupy yourself for the next week.

10. Manito Ahbee

Various venues Oct. 26-Nov. 4

Celebrate Manitoba’s vibrant aboriginal culture at a music festival, powwow, youth summit, and, yes, a beauty pageant.

9. A Birds Hill View

Folk Exchange, opening reception Nov. 1 7-9 p.m.

The best photography from the last 30 years of Winnipeg Folk Fests — for those who just can’t wait to get back.

8. Warhol: Larger Than Life — Art After Dark

Winnipeg Art Gallery, $25 Nov. 2 8-11 p.m.

Drinks and munchies, DJ Co-op, and access to all gallery exhibits for $25.

7. Ladies’ Night At the Conservatory

Assiniboine Park Conservatory Nov. 1 6-10:30 p.m.

Meet the firefighters of the 2008 Manitoba Firefighters’ Burn Fund calendar — and more!

6. Süss CD release party

West End Cultural CetnreNov. 1 8 p.m. $12 at the door/$10 with a costume

“Lesbian sex is better than scary pregnancy tests, it’s better than bad Jell-O shots.” If that lyric, from MySpace-posted “Lesbian Sex” doen’t get you to the West End, nothing will.

5. Bisons football semi-finals

University Stadium Nov. 3 6 p.m. $5

The Bisons are 7-0 for the second year in a row, and are headed into the first game of the playoffs. Go Bisons!

4. Caribou

The Royal Albert Arms Nov. 5 8 p.m. (yeah, right) $15

Originally called Manitoba, this Ontario electronic artist is renowned for his quirky beats and indie-chic lyricism. His newest, Andorra, is possibly his best. Also featuring Born Ruffians.

3. Brewnos

King’s Head Pub, Nov. 3 8-11 p.m.

Otherwise known as “Definitely Not the Junos,” Winnipeg’s own awards show will be hosted by local duo Jacob and Lily.

2. Ten Canoes

Cinematheque Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 9 p.m. $6

The first movie ever filmed in an Australian indigenous language, Ten Canoes is masterful storytelling. Trust me: I bootlegged it from the Internet months ago and knew what was going on although there were no subtitles.

1. Corpell’s Water presents the Kicker, the Paperbacks, and Broken Orchestra of Winnipeg

West End Cultural Centre Nov. 2 8 p.m. $5

Experimental meets pop at this bonanza of Winnipeg’s best up-and-coming bands (OK, the Paperbacks, with their John K. Samson-produced second album awaiting release, have already kind of “made it” — is that a reason you shouldn’t go?).

HONORABLE MENTION:

Guy Fawkes Day

Nov. 5 anywhere and everywhere

Go out and spread some civil disobedience! For the newly initiated to this classically anarchist British holiday, try watching V for Vendetta or even indulging in some Satre. To avoid the paradigmatic scarecrow-burning, the more risqué are encouraged to “borrow property,” streak, and generally cause mayhem.
