What are you doing on Michael Cera day?

Only two more days before the awesomeness of Scott Pilgrim and Michael Cera collide into epicness! :D In case you’ve lived under a rock for the past 5 years, this is Michael Cera. He’s not only Canadian but a Bramptonian who broke out in ‘the little show that could’ called Arrested Development. He’s currently best known as the poster boy for awkward geeky adultdom and will put a distinct butt-kicking edge to that persona this Friday in the Edgar Wright epic of epic epicness “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”. For those who have lived under a rock for the past 3 months, this_{(close the picture to see the article)} is Stadium: a Brampton comic book store that has promoted the heck out of openly inviting Michael Cera to join in the impromptu day celebrating him. See more about it here or here or here.

If geek culture references, shiny effects and gravity-defying fight scenes aren’t enough to entice you, consider the sound track and music score. The eclectic talents of Beck fuel the sound of Pilgrim’s band, which by the way was coached on how to play their instruments by another Canadian, Chris Murphy of iconic band Sloan. Other awesome Canadiana lending their talents in some way or another is Plumtree, Metric, Broken Social Scene and Kid Koala. Not Canadian but still awesome? I mention you now Black Lips, Cornelius, Dan the Automator.

So again, I ask: What are you doing August 13th, 2010 on Michael Cera Day?

This Friday I plan to sit down and begin my Scott Pilgrim journey in a rather puritanical fashion - with the comics by Bryan Lee O’Malley, also Canadian. Movie will come quite quickly after I assume. :) So exciting!
