In Seven Days

Sunday, 28 August 2011

A summer and (gasp) winter tradition share a week of film, music and dance in another eclectic collection of events in Vancouver. Here are our gay choices for August 29 through September 4, 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).

monday, 29 august: pacific national exhibition (PNE)

Super dogs, barnyard animals and those mini-donuts and the midway rides and games all come together in this Vancouver summertime tradition that has been around almost as long as the City. Whether it is a ride on the world famous wooden roller coaster or enjoying one of the many free concerts included with your admission (tonight's concert features the legendary Kenny Rogers), this is fun for the entire family. Visit http://www.pne.ca for more information.

Tuesday, 30 august: sex addicts anonymous

QMUNITY, British Columbia's queer resource centre, opens up its space to the Greater Vancouver Sex Addicts Anonymous to offer help to those struggling with a sex addiction. Mirrored after other similar 12 step programs, this group meets to share experience, strength, and hope for the purpose of recovering from an obsession with sex and compulsive sexual behavior.

Wednesday, 31 AUGUST: pacific rim curling registration

It's hard to believe that with Vancouver's summer just getting started that we're already thinking about winter sports. Now in its 28th season of throwing rocks at houses, the Pacific Rim Curling Club is looking for new members to join its growing ranks. This year the group moves into the Olympic built curling rinks at Queen Elizabeth Park and will even host the 2012 Canadian Gay National Curling Championships in February of next year. Visit http://pacrimcurling.ca for more information or stop by the info and registration evening tonight at The Junction Pub (1138 Davie Street) from 6-9pm.

Canadian actor, director and writer, John Stark returns to his home-town to direct wife Jovanka Bach's new musical Johnny Canuck.

Visit http://www.vlaff.org for more information and showtimes.

saturday, 3 September: thickset

However you label yourself (or don't), the boys of Thickset promise a casual night of antics and fun, with a whole bunch of bears, cubs, post-bears, non-bears, big guys, hairy guys, furry-faced guys, and those who love 'em. This month DJs RJ Solo & Taffi Louis spin the tunes at the ANZA Club with a mix of nu disco, modern electro, '80s new wave, anthems, oddities, and cutting edge sounds (with divas applied sparingly). Visit http://www.thickset.ca for tickets and information.

sunday, 4 september: vancouver international tap festival

The Vancouver International Tap Festival ends its four day celebration of everything tap with A Night at the Waldorf. Taking Vancouver's legendary The Cave nightclub as its inspiration, the Vancouver Tap Ensemble has re-created what they think the legendary masters of dance who have performed at The Cave, shared with Vancouver audiences "back in the day."
