This Week at Canvas

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Nathan in Blog, Events

Maybe it’s because I’m an American that this effected me so much, but I recently stayed in a hostel in Manchester, England that advertised “breakfast served 24 hrs.” I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was going to eat bacon for lunch, sausage for dinner, and maybe some black pudding for dessert.

I waited until I was hungrier than just hungry and I walked into the breakfast room at about 9 am on Saturday morning.

I saw some tables with butter and napkins laying on them. I got to the breakfast table where there was a toaster and 5 loaves of bread… and an electric kettle.

Major disappointment.

If you want something that won’t disappoint (See what I did there?), here’s what’s happening at Canvas this week!

TUESDAY NIGHT @ CANVAS. 8 PM. This week, we’ll listen to the Canvas band play some great music, eat Mexican food in honor of the students going there to build a house, and Jason Tatum will be talking a little about his journey through the Christian faith. It’s gonna be a great night. Dinner starts at 8. See you there!

FREE BBQ. THURSDAY. 12-2 PM. Come by Canvas this week to eat a burger, play some ping pong, and sit around with some really cool people. Hopefully there will be enough 70% cheese for everybody! See you there.

SOUPER THURSDAY. 7 PM. I was watching it snow yesterday and all I kept thinking was, “I wish I had some delicious soup.” Well, on Thursday, I’m hoping I start thinking the same thing because Canvas is heating up some soup and bread for whoever wants to come eat! We’ll start eating at 7, then hang out at Canvas, go see a film, or go to the pub… anything our hearts desire! Hope you can make it!

MANVAS. FRIDAY. 6 PM. We’re lighting up the bbq and throwing whatever meat you bring to Manvas on top of the flames. We’ll eat manly things and play video games on some big screens in Canvas for a few hours. It’s gonna be awesome! Spend some time practicing your Halo skills, pick a good slab of beef, and come down for Manvas on Friday night!

And as always, the doors to Canvas are open all week. So come by to do some work, drink some tea, or hang out with us.

OPEN MIC. MONDAY. 8 PM. If you’re the type of person who only sings in the shower, or you’re somebody who flourishes on stage, all of you are invited to Monday night’s open mic night. Bring an instrument or your voice. Or, if you just want to come and listen, you’re more than welcome. It all starts at 8. Click here to sign up to play.

TUESDAY NIGHT @ CANVAS. 8 PM. PANCAKES. This week, just like every week, we’ll eat a delicious dinner. But this time, we’re having a fantastic pancake dinner! So, come listen to some great music and hear a talk from one of the Canvas staff members about his journey through the Christian faith. Dinner starts at 8. And we’ll head down to the pub around 10:30 or so. Hope to see you there!

THURSDAY BBQ. 12 PM. Every Thursday, from 12-2, we grill burgers outside Canvas for whoever wants a free lunch! Come by this week to eat, play some ping-pong, and hang out around the house for a little while.

SOUPER THURSDAY. 7 PM. There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of homemade soup on a chilly night. Because of that, Canvas is heating up huge pots of soup and tons of bread to fill your cold stomachs. We’ll eat at 7, hang out around Canvas, go see a film, go the pub… really anything our hearts desire. Hope you can make it!

FRIDAY. 2 PM. Every Friday afternoon, some people get together at Canvas to play some crazy game. These guys from Georgia Tech have some interesting ways of playing the sports you and I have known and loved for so long. Hope you can come see what I’m talking about.

The doors to Canvas are open all week with coffee, tea, and WIFI available. Come by and say hi, come and study, or just come by and beat someone in ping-pong.

Hope to see you all soon!

Many of you have been anxiously awaiting the results of the rounders match on Sunday… if you aren’t aware, the Birmingham Rounders team played the Birmingham Ultimate Frisbee team in a game of rounders on Sunday afternoon in Selly Park.

After a closely contested match, the women pulled away with the game in the final innings, winning 28-11. Injured by a rounders bat as a woman was running to first base was Owen Mclatchey. If you see him, give him some headache medicine.

Here’s what’s happening this week!
