Released in 2000, The Sims was the first computer game in its genre to engage players in the everyday activities of virtual people, or “Sims.” It is like a microcosmic version of SimCity (the urban planning/management computer game) but instead of a municipality you create and manage individual persons. The ultimate goal is to steer your Sim towards happiness via a rather traditional real-world route: hobbies, love (The Sims 3 is LGB marriage-inclusive), a family, a fulfilling career with accumulated skills, socialization, money, and good hygiene.

However battered (and shrinking) it may be, the WQW art community still has enough oomph to mobilize a friendly, feel-good art conflagration or two. Two of them take place tomorrow, the first being the literally-named Music in Galleries event , which is what it sounds like: For the fourth year in a row, Scott Thomson, the trombone virtuoso and director of Somewhere There (“an all-year contemporary art thing,” as its site says, in a little jab to the terribly official — and equally brief — Nuit Blanche ) leads a procession of musicians from Trinity Bellwoods Park west along Queen, where clusters will set up shop in various galleries, jamming out their best (Music in Galleries isn't the product of another group, the A ssociation of Improvising Musicians, for nothing; the sounds promises to be loose, loose, loose). It all ends up at the Gladstone's Melody Bar for a final set that promises to be a stunner, by Malian musicians Abdoulaye Kone and Jah Youssouf at 4:40 sharp
