Vancouver

This is a bike ride n' barbeque cosmological event of pan-gallactic proportions to be held on: Saturday 25OCT 2008

-Meet at the Science World Sphere at 10:30pm.
-Leave at 11:00pm to arrive at the Telescope in Vanier Park accross from the giant crustecean sculpture.
-The telescope is open until 1am on any Fri and Sat night.
-After we're done seeing stars we'll find a beach like the one near the Maritime museum that is relatively secluded and have a BBQ. I have a propane BBQ and two tanks of fuel....

It's BYO(*.*) & everyone is invited.

Remember Humans...The best time to view the Cosmos is by the dark of the moon.

Cancellation is only if the sky is completely overcast. Patchy clouds don't seem to perturb the volunteers at the Telescope. If there is a cancellation then the event will move to Saturday 01 Nov 2008 but hopefully we'll have Deep Blue Skies...YYyyyummmmmmmmmmm!

PEDAL POTLUCK PICNIC
TUES JULY 22
6:30PM
MEET AT GAZEBO BY SCIENCE WORLD
(near intersection of Quebec and Terminal)

The Pedal Potluck Picnic is a casual bicycle ride traversing approx.
5-8 kilometres. The end destination is a mystery park or park-like
setting. The term "park" will be used liberally here, so expect the
unexpected! At the endpoint we'll enjoy a picnic dinner. Eating will
be potluck style, so please bring food and drink to share (preferably
vegetarian/vegan). Please also try to bring your own silverware,
plate, and cup. We will also stop at a grocery store along the way.

NOTE: RIDE IS NOT A LOOP.  It's a good idea to bring lights since we
could be out after dark!

Nowtopia is a book about a new politics of work.

It profiles
tinkerers, inventors, and improvisational spirits who bring an
artistic approach
to important tasks that are ignored or undervalued
by market society.

Rooted in practices that have been emerging over
the past few decades,

Nowtopia's exploration of work locates an
important thread of self-emancipatory
class politics beyond the
traditional arena of wage-labor.

Without a doubt, stencils are the fastest, easiest, and cheapest
method for painting an image on a wall, a sidewalk, or almost any
object anywhere. Stencil Nation focuses on the unexpected mix of this
lively, accessible, meduium to reveal engaging aspects of an
intentionally secretive international creative community. With
dynamically illustrated perspectives from diverse niches of the art
form, hundreds of photograph and numerous essays have been curated by
StencilArchives. org?s founder, Russell Howze. Stencil Nation builds
upon previous published works to give the most extensive and
up-to-date history of stencil art, as well as how-to tips from the
artists.

This year’s program will have more local content and a varied program featuring something for all
tastes. Anderson is a recumbent fan, so figure on him fitting a movie about ‘bent culture in there
somewhere. “There are so many great films being made about bikes and cycling right now,” Anderson says. “Cutting the content down to a reasonable screening time is going to be hard.”
How hard? See for yourself on June 26, 2008, from 6:30 pm to 9 pm at the Ridge Theatre at
Arbutus and 16th Ave in Vancouver, BC. This event has always sold out in the past, so be sure to pick up tickets beforehand at a variety of local cycling outlets.

Free, secure bike parking will be available and everyone is encouraged to ride to the show.

Meet at 6:30, ride by 7:15 or so, a casual, fun friendly ride. A rolling social for people who want to spend their friday night having fun on their bikes and seeing this beautiful city.

Following the First Taiwanese Film Festival (TWFF)’s incredible success last year, the Second Taiwanese Film Festival “TWFF II” will be held in Vancouver once again starting from June 20th to 22nd for a duration of three days at the Vancouver International Film Centre.

Last year in April, the First Taiwanese Film Festival presented by UBC Literature Etc. came to a successful end in thundering applauses and amazing amount of positive feedbacks. All 10 screenings were sold out, winning the recognition and support from various communities. Furthermore, the festival offered people who had never seen Taiwanese films a chance to taste the refined art of Taiwanese films and a feel of Taiwan’s unique local communities and culture.
