There were a HUGE number of events going on at Bucketworks this weekend. You Should Be So Lucky delighted crowds with Friday night and Sunday matinee performances; Spiral Theatre brought in their sister theatre company from London to perform Drew Caiden's intimate, poignant one-man show Strawberry Daiquiri.

On Saturday night, Pyromancy drew a rapt audience of 100 who watched original animation by Scott Lashay, while local bands Concentric and This Specific Dream threw down the instrumental accompaniment to Arson Etiquette's spectacular choreography. You can view the video of their performance here. (You must be signed in to the site to view blogs, forums and comments on the Bucketworks site. Create your account here.)
