Whadda do whadda do…  

NEXT WEDNESDAY, January 27
I know everyone is glued to their televisions right now watching footage of Haiti’s post-earthquake trauma. The death and devastation is so horrific and real, yet still somewhat unimaginable. Please remember that there is hope, and there are ways you can help. I cannot think of a better reason to go out and party, then for a cause like this. HOPE IN HAITI, a fundraiser to support relief efforts in Haiti at BARCELONA nightclub. $15 in Advance – $20 at the door, funds goto the Canadian Red Cross. www.hopeinhaiti.ca 

WEDNESDAY (this week)
At university in Montréal I saw a lot of performance art, most of them had to do with hugging, furniture, and potatoes. PuSh Performing Arts Festival, a must-goto Vancouver production begins and runs until Feb. 6th. You may never get the balls to perform that one-woman-show you wrote in college, but somebody else will surly be performing theirs! For tickets goto: www.pushfestival.ca 

FRIDAY/SATURDAY
Remember when your weekends consisted of just blazing and making-out with your high-school sweetheart? Did you often end up dry-humping in a rock music laser show? Well, why not relive your teens. Roundhouse Productions presents Laser Zeppelin 8 (featuring the music of hard-rock legends Led Zeppelin), Fri-Sat at 8 pm; Laser Coldplay (featuring the music of current pop-rock chart-toppers Coldplay), Fri.-Sat. at 9:15 pm; and Dark Side of the Moon (featuring the music of prog-rock kings Pink Floyd), Fri-Sat at 10:20 pm.

SATURDAY
When you think of your dream wedding dress do you imagine looking more pin-up then powder-puff?!  INDIE I DO is Vancouver’s first alternative wedding show. Intended to be a departure from traditional wedding shows, Indie I Do is targeted to couples who have modern and unique views of marriage and weddings, as well as the traditionalist looking to add a little bit of personality to their wedding.
