There’s an abbreviated top five this week, thanks to the flu.

It’s going to be a little chilly, but we only have a few more weeks of this left and then it should start melting and we can all thaw out.

Until then, here are a few things to keep you warm. Have fun!

WHAT: FEST – Winnipeg New Music Festival

When: Friday and Saturday

Where: Centennial Concert Hall and the West End Cultural Centre

Cost: $20-$32

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the New Music Festival yet, you can still go check it out before it’s over.

Friday night they’re closing out the orchestra part of the festival with work by John Luther Adams.

There’ll also be an electronic piece by Chicago composer/DJ Mason Bates.

Don’t forget to stay for food and drinks and art in the Piano Noble afterward!

WHAT: DANCE – Smithfits at The Goodwill

When: Saturday, Feb. 7 at 10 p.m.

Where: The Good Will at 625 Portage Ave.

Cost: $10

The best thing to dance at all month is happening this Saturday.

The lovely guys behind the Smithfits will be back at The Good Will for another round of punk, new wave and Brit pop, and I think you should go.

DJ Co-Op, DJ Hunnicutt, Scott Wade and Rob Galston are all spinning, and as usual, there will be pizza and arcade games.

Make good choices, guys.

WHAT: KID STUFF – West Broadway Snoball

When: Saturday, Feb. 7 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Outside the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre at 185 Young St.

Cost: FREE

Stuff your kids into some snowsuits and bring them West Broadway this weekend.

The annual Snoball is happening Saturday in that big outdoor area beside the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre, and there’s going to be skating and horse-drawn wagon rides and campfire stories and food and drinks.

It’s all free, and there will be a ton of lovely people there helping out so go and make some memories before winter is over, OK?

WHAT: FOOD – Toast and Hunni at Little Sister

When: Sunday, Feb. 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Where: Little Sister Coffee Maker at 470 River Ave.

Cost: About $5 for a latte

This is such a lovely way to start your Sunday morning this weekend.

Little Sister is bringing in DJ Hunnicutt to play some music while you help them develop their toast menu.

You can go get some coffee, nibble on some toast and listen to one of the best spin some music for you.

And when you’re done you can head over to Cornerstone next door for some mimosas!

WHAT: MUSIC – Wilderness of Manitoba at The Park

When: Sunday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m.

Where: The Park Theatre at 698 Osborne St.

Cost: $20

The Wildnerness of Manitoba are playing their rain date at The Park Theatre Sunday night, and it should be a good show.

They had to cancel a gig in the fall, but they’re totally making it up to us by playing Sunday instead. And Slow Leaves is opening, so it should be an even better show.
