'Saint' Steven of the Dusty Owl

Be a 'saint' like Steven Zytveld of the Dusty Owl Reading Series and come out this evening to the annual Dusty Owl Chocolate House.

From their website:
Each holiday season we raise money and food donations for the Ottawa Food Bank to mark the holdiays. This year we're doing it with the help of Dave Lauzon, guitarist from Ottawa jam band Nero, who will be coming in to play a solo acoustic show, featuring new songs, multiple instruments, loop tracks, and more - it's going to be great. There will be hot chocolate (and other drinks of course), cool music, and our ever-popular open mike and Object of Desire contest, so if you have music or words you want to share, bring them along! We'll be accepting donations of food and money for the Food Bank, and anyone who brings in 10 items or more of (preferably, but not necessarily, organic) food for the donation box will get a free limited-edition, hand-printed poster made by Catherine MacDonald-Zytveld. This is a family-friendly event, so kids are welcome, although parents should be aware, Swizzles is a bar and grill, so alcohol will be served, and it's a bias-free venue. There's no cover charge - just come in, bring your taste for music and poetry and your good will. Free will donations will be collected for the Ottawa Food Bank.
