Galactic aliens, underground queer hip hop parties, sock hops and bright lights - it all starts with Candytown! Tom dishes it all this week -

You know it’s the season when the Eastside Holiday Market opens and it’s happening this weekend and every weekend until December 16! Also don’t miss the new production from Zee Zee Theatre, pub nights, performances, and a new clubhouse venu for Man-up. Get Out!

Call the hotline! What could be more enticing? Lots to see and do this week in Vancouver - galas and plays and cabarets. See you there!

Well Hallowe’en is over and pot stocks are crashing - thankfully we have Tom to look into the future and find us all sorts of bright affairs to look forward to! Galas and fundraisers, a new weekly beer night, and some old favourites - enjoy!

You may have thought you were done with Halloween last week, but I have saved the best for last. And even better finish off your week: a place where you can be the star of the show, oops I mean shower. See you next week!

Over the last four decades, the queer community has shaped Oct. 31 and the weeks leading up to it into the quintessential queer holiday, and it only gets queerer with age. This week Tom serves up some of the best but be warned. As Tom puts it, some of the events are “definitely not first date material unless your date is named Jason and carries a hockey mask.”

Yes, it is true, just like Elton says: The bitch is back!!! You thought I disappeared along with that other publication, but luckily or alas, depending on you, I survived. New site, new boss but same great top events for you.

Happy Pride! Details and information and links to the best Vancouver Pride Guides. See you there!
