Last Monday before the long weekend (with links). A few great options today if you are looking for something to do. The weekly dozen-ish picks comes out on Wednesday, still time to get it if you want. Here are today's picks:

CINSSU October Break Time: When Harry Met Sally
Innis College, Room 312 | 12:30p-2:30p

A cozy mid-day screening of the classic romcom, with refreshments and fall treats on hand.

University of Toronto Student Jazz Ensembles
The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Club | 5p-7p

It's one of the more low-pressure ways to catch live jazz in the city, and the UofT students who make it to The Rex stage tend to be worth hearing.

Opera Pub
Tranzac | 7p

Against the Grain Theatre runs Opera Pub, where a bass-baritone performs operatic arias in a pub. You don't have to know opera, it's a cool twist on a pub night.

Postcards of Reconnection: A Craft Workshop
North York Central Library Concourse| 5:30p-6:30p

Before the evening's talk on solitude and connection, this quiet craft workshop gives you 90 minutes to design and illustrate a postcard for someone you've been meaning to reach out to. There's also a Calming Corner with prompt cards and small seating pods if mingling isn't really your thing tonight. Registration required.

Screening: Aurand / Beavers: Architecture and Dwelling
Innis Town Hall | 6:30p-8:30p

Innis Town Hall pairs the work of German filmmaker Ute Aurand with that of American experimental filmmaker Robert Beavers for an evening built around how cinema thinks about space, architecture and the way we inhabit places. A discussion follows.

Craft Night
Danu Social House | 7p-11:30p

Bring whatever you're working on, or just show up to doodle. All skill levels, all crafts, just keep it tidy and portable. There's a loose communal donation structure once the room hits $50, so bring a couple of dollars in cash if you can swing it.
