Been there, done that, or thinking about it... another word for a journal!

Viken's summary of things to do and places to be in Vancouver, BC. I did a BA in film and have a few friends in the Arts+Culture field and know some really fabulous people who keep me in invitations to exceptional and memorable events/places around town that I like to write about in my broken english. I hope it's not just art reviews, but great eats, little hideaway places and the fantastic awesomness of the nature that surrounds us... my guide to great urban living!

Bingo Galore


Second and Forth Tuesday of the month at the fabulous Oasis Lounge on Davie st. http://www.friendsforlife.ca/gaybingo.html Hosted by Joan-E and Justine Thyme, and a few of the regulars drag queens for whom this is the first stop of the evening (which really is the afternoon for them) Gay Bingo at its best - or worst.
As usual, the we are treated to great entertainment ... which gets more entertaining as the host gets treated to more and more alcoholic treats on the house! Joan-E is one of the funniest performers around... and she is building quite the reputation as a thespian - but don't ever call her that to her face!. She was recently featured on the Collector, where she plays the devil in drag - but truely, she is an angel!
It is a pleasure working with her...oh yeah, I am the newly minted prize coordinator for Bingo For Life - Formerly Gay Bingo. Though my job description is a bit mercurial at this point, I am enjoying all the work- which is just like shopping. I collect items/donations from business and organizations that we, in turn, give away as prizes for the winners of Bingo... Joan-E has been nursing this event at various locations across town for a few years now. She has raised over $150 000 with it and it is going strong. We hope to make this event a weekly event, but there is lots of work that needs to be done first.
So come on by and play some Bingo - that's were I will be every other Tuesday! See you there.
