Hot events this week: the Buzz Event + Lace Embrace Atelier Antique Corset Exhibition

Who says that Vancouver is a boring, no-fun city?  Fools that's who!  Vancouver often gets derided as a place that is pretty, but also pretty dull, however I would beg to differ.  Vancouver has lots going on, but unlike some places, it's a little harder to see.  Do a little sniffing and know the right people though, and watch your calendar fill up like any snobby socialite!

Here's a couple fun events I'll be hitting up this week.  To my Van City peeps, hope to see you there!  I'll be the one hanging by the bar :p

Have a fun week--that corset looks like it should come with a disclaimer about potential organ damage. =)
