Anyone who has ever watched The Simpson's will appreciate seeing a real live Kwik-E-Mart right here in the lower mainland.

Yes it's true, you can buy pink donuts, just like on the show, and they temporarily renamed their Slurpees 'Squishees' just like on the show.

Why, you ask? It's part of a marketing campaign for the new Simpson's Movie. The movie is set to open on July 27, so ...

Last year we went to a free one day open house event at the North Vancouver Outdoor School. Though slightly rainy, we enjoyed a free day filled with paper making, kayaking, archery, and roasting bannock. All of this at a school campus nestled in the trees; beautiful and peaceful.

This year promises to be a beautiful sunny day, and the event will be even more spectacular.

I just had surgery and am currently ordered by my doctor and my fiancé to stay in bed which is a perfect time to catch up on my writing.

Pre-surgery we had a chance to catch the show STOMP at the Center for Performing Art. I was super excited to see STOMP again. The first time I "enjoyed" STOMP was at a super small theatre in New York and it ...

While Celebrities attracts a lot of queer men and women, lots of straight people frequent the dance floor here as well because the music ...

The Bard will soon be back in town.

Coming into its 18th season, this annual Shakespeare Festival will once again raise its tents and settle in Vanier Park. This year's festival runs from May 31 to September 23 and will showcase four interpretations of the bard's plays. On the bill is: Timon of Athens, Taming of the Shrew, Julius Caesar, and Romeo and Juliet.

Put one foot in front of the other, and get yourself down to Celebrities Night Club, where tonight Tiki Glam: A Fashion and Burlesque Show hits the stage!

Sweet Soul unveils its 55-piece spring/summer 2007 collection of fashions inspired by Polynesian Tiki, Hawaiian Beach, and Hollywood Glam styles.  But that's not all, a line-up of burlesque performers will also strut their stuff upon the stage, with noticeably less of the fashion ...

Like many cities, Vancouver's gay scene has a lot of actual venues specifically catering to the gay male population - men still earn more in general and tend to go out more often, thus supporting regular nightclubs and pubs.

There are however, a couple of major event companies that book ongoing lesbian oriented club nights and live music gigs. Check out these links below:
