What Are You Doing This Weekend?

Other than buying a sailboat from Craigslist

The weekend in Vancouver promises to be rainy and cold. Here are a few suggestions for outings:

Kevin Bergsma, one half of Butoh a Go Go, is performing Tea with Green Tara at the Moberly Arts Community Centre. The last time I saw Kevin perform, he and Thomas Anfield danced a work in development they intended to present at a Moscow dance festival. The MACC is located at 7646 Prince Albert, Vancouver.

Nov 3. Performance at 8PM. Tix $15.

Or you can head over to Vancouver's best live music venue, The Railway Club, to see Canada's venerable psychobilly band, The Deadcats. Also on the bill are Hank Angel and His Island Devils and The Slickjacks. It's a tiny venue so get there early and drink lots. Bring an extra $20 for a couple of the Deadcats new CD. The Railway is located at 579 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver.

Nov 3. Doors at 8:30PM Tix $8 Members $10 Guests.

Pi Theatre is presenting Werewolves, a Polish play that will chill your bones. Here's an excerpt from the press release they sent me:

Inspired by a wake in a Belorussian village, Werewolves has a possessed and frightening intensity that evokes an Old World spell in its capacity to dissolve the boundaries between the physical, mental, and spiritual worlds.  Realism gives way to the fantastic. A wake transforms into a wedding. Mantraps are made – and used. And these events draw not only the attendance of neighbours, but also of three frightening strangers.

Presented at Performance Works on Cartwright Street on Granville Island, Werewolves runs from Nov 2 - Nov 18.

Nov 2. Free Preview. Nov 3 2 for 1 Preview. Nov 4. Performances 8PM. Tix $20 $16 Students.

The Rocket Fins and The Grange are going to stomp on your heart with howling rockabilly at the Marine Club, located at 573 Homer Street. The night promises cheap beer (Pabst Blue Ribbon), rockabilly riffs galore, handsome men and pretty women, and glorious tattoos.

It's a CD release party for the Rocket Fins. Bring an extra handful of cash.

Nov 4. Doors at 8:30PM. No posted cover.
