Monday, 01 August 2011

Yes Virginia, there is life after Pride!  Music dominates a week that also includes a last hurrah for Pride, some fun in the park and even some gay Catholics.  Here are our gay choices for the week of August 1 - 7, 2011.

Of course, you'll want to check our Events Calendar for details of all the latest happenings around the city. You can also get our daily events feed directly on your iGoogle homepage!

Got an event? Send us the details and we'll get it added to our calendar (and maybe see it listed here in the coming weeks).

For those that just can't let go of Pride, the good people at Cruisey-T give you one last hurrah with a cruise on the Pacific aboard the MV Britannia.  With the weather taking a decidedly nicer turn this is one end to Vancouver Pride 2011 that you'll definitely want to consider.  Visit http://www.cruiseyt.com for more information.

Wednesday, 3 AUGUST: ANYTHING GOES

Okay, we don't know about you but we're sure glad summer has finally arrived on the Wet Coast.  And nothing says summer like Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park's Malkin Bowl.  Playing in repertory with Bye Bye Birdie, if you only get to one TUTS show this year make it Anything Goes.  It's delightful, it's delicious, it really is de-lovely.  Visit http://www.tuts.ca for tickets and information.

thursday, 4 august: When I Was, Qui Je Suis

When I was, Qui Je SuisTo be honest we never quite got contemporary dance until we started watching SYTYCD.  Now we can't seem to get enough of it, Mary Murphy not withstanding.  From Les Petites Taquines, When I was, Qui Je Suis is a new contemporary dance work is a brief autobiography of the universal girl in one act, set to contemporary music.  Visit http://lespetitestaquines.wordpress.com for more information.
