Tonight you can indulge your literary and TV habits at the Masonic Temple (aka the MTV Building, 888 Yonge Street, 7 p.m., FREE), where CTV personality Seamus O’Reagan will host an on-stage round-table with the four authors shortlisted for this year’s Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction: John English, Daniel Poliquin, Kenneth Whyte and Ian Brown. The segment will be taped and used for an upcoming Bravo special on the award. To attend RSVP to audience@bravo.ca.
Sunday is the day to worship at the holy and apostolic Church of Elvis, conveniently located at the Sweet Tooth Pastry Shop (508 Danforth Avenue). There, in honour of the King’s 75th birthday, Domenico Capilongo will read from I Thought Elvis was Italian and Frank Giorno from Elvis in America, two poetry collections that honour Elvis’s memory. There will also be an open mic segment and attendees are invited to share their own Elvis tributes and try some Kingly pastries (2 p.m., FREE).
