    <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 />
