    <title>Nov 21, 2009: Bridge of Song: Revalia &amp; Chor Leoni at Shaughnessy Heights United Church</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Chor Leoni is proud to present the esteemed Estonian choir, the Revalia Male Chamber Choir, in concert on Saturday, November 21 (7:30 pm) at Shaughnessy Heights United Church. Revalia was formed in the autumn of 1998 by Hirvo Surva, a long-term conductor of the Revalia Boys&#39; Choir. The majority of the members of the Revalia Male Chamber Choir are former members of different boys&#39; choirs from all over Estonia. The choir has 30 members with the average age of 25 years.<br /><br />
In the relatively short time they have been together, Revalia has become a perennial winner at festivals and competitions, so much so that in 2003 they were named the Estonian Male Choir of the Year.<br /><br />
Vancouver’s Chor Leoni will open the concert with a short set before handing the programme over to our guests. The evening will close with the choirs raising their voices in a true bridge of song.<br /><br />

    <title>Nov 21, 2009: The 3rd Annual Vancouver TechFest at BCIT Campus</title>
    <description><![CDATA[What is a TechFest?<br /><br />
There are a few mandates which the TechFest must follow...<br /><br />
 1. By and For the Community<br /><br />
TechFest&#39;s are about the community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers AND IT Professionals to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.<br /><br />
 2. Always Free<br /><br />
TechFest&#39;s are always free for attendees.<br /><br />
3. Community Developed Material<br /><br />
The success of the TechFest&#39;s is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided (including any code and your slide decks). If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the TechFest is not the place for you.<br /><br />
4. No Fluff<br /><br />
TechFest&#39;s are about getting to the nitty gritty. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.<br /><br />
5. Community Ownership<br /><br />
The most important element of the TechFest is always the community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.<br /><br />
6. Never occur during work hours<br /><br />
We need to understand that many times people can’t leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the TechFest is that they always occur on weekends.<br /><br />
Why not a Code Camp? What&#39;s the difference?<br /><br />
Well, a Code Camp is strictly focused on the Developer where our TechFest is all about Technology, any technology.  We feel that IT Professionals, as well as Developers, should be given the chance to present their wares!  Also, do not come to this event and expect all the presentations to focus just on Microsoft technologies.  We strive to balance the content.<br />

    <title>Dec  9, 2009: Lady Gaga &quot;The Monster Ball&quot; Tour at Queen Elizabeth Theatre</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Lady Gaga has been called the biggest female pop sensation since Madonna. She&#39;s talented, controversial, fashion forward and a show-woman all wrapped up in one. Don&#39;t miss out on your chance to see this rising superstar in concert for her new tour &quot;The Monster Ball.&quot; Lady Gaga will surely push the limits past a normal tour, and blow away her audience with a musical carnival. After her &quot;Fame Kills&quot; tour with Kanye West was, appropriately enough, killed by Kanye himself, Lady Gaga came right back and announced a bigger and better tour. This is going to be the most talked about spectacle all year. Buy your tickets now through AC Ticket Guys and be sure to get the best tickets for competitive prices and fast delivery.<br />

    <title>Nov 28, 2009: Sweater Vest Remounts the Bubblegum Ballet: The Soft Pretzel at Cafe Deux Soleils</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Spoken Word Alt Country Prog Opera Rock Fantasy group Sweater Vest are remounting their classic Bubblegum Ballet: The Soft Pretzel on Saturday November 28th at Cafe Deux Soleils on Commercial Drive.<br />
Showtime 9pm.  Doors at 8 o&#39;clock.  $8 regular admission.  $5 if you wear a Sweater Vest.<br />
Sweater Vest is RC Weslowski as Chipotle Incognita, Martin VanSteinburg as Heisenberg Incognita and Fernando Raguero as our Fillipino man servant Rutger Ovaries.<br />
This is a remounting of the original ballet done in 1975.  The show is broken down in to two parts.  The first half is a concert by Sweater Vest.  The second half is an improvised ballet on top of freshly chewed bubblegum by several dancers.  The show caused such a stir in 1975 that it was banned and cancelled after only one performance.  Saliva control was given as the reason but everyone knows that innovation was the true culprit.<br />
Anyhow these are hopefully more culturally aware times and the show will go on once again.  Please join us.  People with dentures are welcome as well.<br />

    <title>Nov 22, 2009: Louis Riel Day Celebration at Roundhuose Mews</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Compaigni V’ni Dansi invites you to celebrate the life of Louis Riel, a true Canadian folk hero. <br /><br />
Following last year’s sold-out event, The Louis Riel Day Celebration will be held November 22, 2009 at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver.  In addition to honouring Louis Riel – who inspired the rebirth of the Métis nation – the Festival is a chance to celebrate the vitality of contemporary Métis culture across Canada. <br /><br />
Now in our fourth year, this promises to be the biggest and best Celebration yet, featuring Winston Wuttunee, one of Canada’s premiere aboriginal performers who, will also host the evening; award winning singer-songwriter Ry Moran; traditional storyteller Tom McCallum; rising star Madeleine McCallum who will perform traditional dance and Jules Chartrand, Métis historian from St Laurent who will provide the opening prayer. <br /><br />
The Louis Riel Métis Dancers will once again provide the energy and heart to the Celebration with their traditional Métis jigging with square dance calling by Jim Twain and live fiddle accompaniment by Wuttunee. This year, the dancers will perform Daughters of the Country, a humorous contemporary dance piece about young Métis women on the Canadian frontier.<br /><br />
Yvonne Chartrand from Compaigni V’ni Dansi said: “We are so excited that the annual Louis Riel Day Celebration has become a fixture on the Vancouver calendar and now so many people look forward to it. The event celebrates not just the history of the Métis people but also the contributions we make culturally to the country as a whole. It is a Celebration for everyone in Vancouver, a reflection of our unique cultural heritage: a blending of French, Scottish, Irish, English, Scandinavian and First Nations. Join us for our biggest and best Celebration yet.”<br /><br />
Compaigni V’ni Dansi is the only company in Canada dedicated to teaching and performing traditional and contemporary Métis dance, creating a unique form of expression. The company shares Métis stories and culture with Aboriginal and mainstream audiences with a special interest in passing our dances on to today’s youth. Our mission is to create a repertoire of work that reflects Métis culture. We also seek out contemporary dance and artistic collaborations that bring new light and understanding to these traditions.<br />
