Check out SharpCuts Starting Tomorrow

Time for some shameless self-promotion. I'm one of the organizers of the SharpCuts Indie Film & Music Festival in Guelph, and it kicks off tomorrow night and runs through till Sunday. And while this is hardly political related, I encourage all you Politico readers to come out either one night, or every night to see some great, local indie cinema, some of which may also feature certain people that run certain political blogs. Check out the details below:

The SharpCuts Indie Film and Music Festival returns for its fourth smash year, with an expanded line-up of new events and old favourites. This is also the first ever Spring edition of SharpCuts too, which will unfold in 2010 from May 5th till 9th at various locations throughout Guelph
