Well, I bet the person who wins the $500 won't be laughing!You can win $500 just for telling Santa what you want for Christmas at the Cellar's /Sexy Santa Party/! Not bad! This Wednesday, December 16th you can head to the Cellar (1006 Granville Street) to party it up with free gingerbread and fun prizes. As well, they're collecting donations for the food bank, so bring a non-perishable item with you to get in the holiday giving spirit.http://www.cellarvan.com/clubnights_detail.php?id=62
Republic (958 Granville Street) will be hosting the Russian Standard launch party - "The #1 premium vodka in Russia!" on Wednesday, December 16th from 10pm to 3am!Do you, like me, have a secret fetish for all things Russian? That crazy language? Vodka? Snow? Warm clothes? Hunky men named Vlad?Check out this vodka launch event Wednesday night at Republic, with DJs Supafly, BZ Black and the Boyscouts.(I wish I knew a Russian word that I could sign off this post with!)http://www.dhmbars.ca/republic0events.aspx?1=187&2=187&3=3&4=3&6=86&8=86&10=86&12=86&14=86&16=86&17=187&19=187&21=187&23=187&25=187&27=187&18=186&20=186&22=186&24=186&26=186&28=186
Dance away the night to Top 40, Hip Hop and holiday dance hits!! It has always been my dream to go to a club and dance to Christmas music. I don't know anyone who loves Christmas music as much as I do, but maybe I could find my soul-mate at Caprice's Winter Wonderland party next Tuesday, December 22nd.

I don't know how behind I am, but apparently we have a new radio station here in Vancouver!
100.5 The Peak plays aaaawesome rock - Sam Roberts, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Metric, and all sorts of fun and indie rock. I pretty much have this station on all the time at home, and all the time at work - which I can do because you can listen online!
The music you listen to in the summer is so important. It's the soundtrack, right? So if you're listening to crap music all summer, your summer probably won't be so good. I urge you to go turn this station on right now. I would like to guarantee that it will make your summer better, but... I don't have that kind of power.
You can find The Peak online at www.thepeak.fm. And no, they have no affiliation with The Peak, SFU's student newspaper.
Are you worried I'm getting carried away with the posts tonight?
I'm not; It's just not my fault that there's so much going on in our fair part of the world right now. Even if the weather is less than fair (why is it snowing in the middle of March?).
Are you a terrible dancer like me? If you are, maybe you want to check out the Vancouver International Dance Festival. While I long ago gave up my dreams of ever being able to dance - at all!- that doesn't mean I can't still dream. The festival runs until April 4th and has a variety of shows at a variety of venues throughout the city. www.vidf.ca
The festival started at the beginning of the month, so maybe I'm a little late reporting this to you, but there's still time! I can't even begin to describe what you'll find there (because I've never been before!) but this definitely sounds like it's worth checking out.
Who knows, maybe I'll be inspired to try some dance lessons once again...
