** FOR VANCOUVER, CANADA AREA SINGLES ** Get ready for a fun night at this revolutionary new event that's the best way to meet other singles in your area from the comfort of your own home on Zoom. Grab some snacks or even a cocktail and come try out the event that's being called, "A fun new twist on speed dating!". Let's face it, we're all tired of the endless swiping on dating apps and interacting with people who may or may not look like or be like the person they're portraying on the apps. A Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night is a much better way to meet someone because you actually get to interact with people on video (Zoom) before committing to a real life date. This is the safest and best way to meet someone! Our friendly host will welcome everyone and then you'll be put into breakout rooms where you'll get to meet, chat with and play fun social games with the other singles in attendance. At the end of the event you'll be able to select people you'd like to stay in touch with (the matching works similar to traditional speed dating... we explain the matching in more detail below). Find out why this event has been called, "The best way to meet quality singles in the modern age". No more endless swiping on dating apps! WE DO THESE EVENTS EVERY MONTH OR SO AND WE SLIGHTLY CHANGE UP THE AGE RANGE FOR EACH EVENT. CHECK OUR UPCOMING SCHEDULE BELOW TO SEE THE AGE RANGES FOR EACH EVENT DATE. THE AGE RANGES ARE ONLY SUGGESTED MEANING THAT IF YOU'RE WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF THE AGE RANGE YOU'RE WELCOME TO ATTEND. *********************************************** *********************************************** SCHEDULE: TUESDAY MARCH 25 - SUGGESTED AGE RANGE: AGES 20s, 30s & 40s TUESDAY MAY 20 - SUGGESTED AGE RANGE: AGES 20s & 30s TUESDAY JULY 15 - SUGGESTED AGE RANGE: AGES 30s & 40s TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 9 - SUGGESTED AGE RANGE: AGES 27 to 39 *********************************************** *********************************************** QUICK NOTE - WE WILL ALSO HAVE SOME SINGLES FROM A FEW OTHER NEARBY CITIES IN ATTENDANCE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A NICE BIG CROWD AND A MORE FUN EVENT BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU MEET EVERYONE FROM YOUR CITY AND WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE FROM YOUR CITY ATTENDING. WHAT IS THIS EVENT ALL ABOUT? This is entirely new and revolutionary type of event for singles! We love the idea of traditional speed dating but sometimes it's hard to come up with things to talk about. That's why at a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night you'll have fun, easy games to play to get to know everyone instead of dealing with the usual dating "job interview" type questions. We find that it's a much better way to get to know someone! You'll be put in Zoom breakout rooms with a small group of singles and you'll play games that will help you get to know each other. Some rounds you may be with small groups of 4 to 7 people and some rounds you may be 1 on 1 with someone of the opposite gender much like traditional speed dating. Essentially, you'll work with the other people as a team and compare answers with the other teams. Each round we change up the teams to make sure you get to meet and get to know everyone in attendance (we explain the games in more detail below). HOW THE MATCHING WORKS: Similar to traditional speed dating, at the end of the event the host will explain how you can keep in contact with anyone that you are interested in seeing again. We allow people to match as "friends" so you can meet wingmen and/or wingwomen at this event and we also allow people to match with people as potential love interests whom they'd like to see again for future dates. AN EMAIL WE RECENTLY RECEIVED: I wanted to write to thank you for putting on such a a great event. I attended the speed dating game night last week and it was so much fun! I wanted a change up from the dating apps and this event hit was exactly what I hoped for. Your host was so nice and welcoming. I met a lot of people and everyone was really friendly. I am staying in touch with a few people from the event and actually set up a date for this upcoming weekend with one of the guys I met during the event. Once again, just want to thank you for holding such a quality event! - Laura WHAT KIND OF GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING? The fun games are set up to break the ice, help you gauge compatibility, make quality connections and to have a really fun night. An example game we like to play is "Dating Feud" which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and your group will be asked fun relationship style questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will work together with a small group of singles to come up with what you think is the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another game we might play is called Blank Slate. In Blank Slate the host will show you a word followed by a blank. For example: Chicken _________. You'll write down a word that follows the word Chicken such as "Soup". Essentially you're trying to predict what will be a popular answer. We do different fun games at each event we throw! Another game we play is "Would You Rather" where we ask you fun questions like "Would you rather live the rest of your life without ever being able to watch a movie ever again or would you rather never be able to listen to any song/music again?". You answer the question and then you have to try and pick the most popular answer. You're then brought back from the breakout room into the main room to hear how everyone else answered the question. It's so much fun! Thousands of people have met at our events and we've witnessed countless relationships and friendships formed. In fact, because you really get to know people during the games, the chances of meeting someone at a Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night are much higher than online dating apps or traditional speed dating events. MORE DETAILS: * Once you sign up, you'll be given a link to join a group of other people via video on Zoom. All you need is a laptop, phone or tablet to take part in the event. You'll enjoy an evening of meeting new people, fun social interactions and games. Our friendly host will be with you live via video orchestrating the event and even making introductions among the group so you'll get to know the other people attending. It's so much fun! ************************* WE ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT THEMED EVENTS FOR VANCOUVER SINGLES ON DIFFERENT DATES THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT AT THIS LINK: https://friendzyevents.com/calendar.html : ************************* WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EVENT: "As a busy professional, I just don't have time to get out and meet people as much as I'd like so this event was like a Godsend for me. It was a refreshingly fantastic experience." - Jennifer S. "What a fabulous concept. I met some great people and I started dating someone I met at the event." - Hannah M. "That was an absolute blast!" - Jonathan T. "The games are the perfect way to tell if you have chemistry with the other people." - Emma D. WHY THIS EVENT WORKS! For many years we organized in person traditional speed dating events. While waiting for everyone to show up, the host would do some icebreaker style games to "Kill time" until everyone arrived. We noticed something fascinating begin to happen. People got to know each other better and made more connections during the games than they did during the actual speed dating rounds! The games sparked so much conversation and laughs that we thought, "Wow, we should make an entire event like this!". And that is how our Dating Games Online Speed Dating Game Night events were born. QUICK NOTE: THESE EVENTS WILL LIKELY SELL OUT BY EVENT TIME AND WE HAVE LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE AT EACH EVENT SO GRAB YOUR TICKET ASAP! FAQ: HOW MANY WILL BE PARTICIPATING? We expect a total of about 25 people to attend each event. IF I ATTENDED A PAST DATING GAMES ONLINE SPEED DATING GAME NIGHT, CAN I SIGN UP FOR THIS ONE? Yes, In fact we never use repeat questions and we always change up the games so feel free to sign up with as many of our upcoming events as you'd like and meet more people! HOW DO I JOIN THE EVENT? After you sign up on to Eventbrite we will send you a Zoom link with an invitation to join the event. We'll email you that link by the day of the event. If for some reason you don't see an email from us by the event date, make sure to check your spam folder in case it ended up there by accident. WHAT DO I NEED TO ATTEND?

The Rickshaw presents Mac Sabbath with guests, The Schizophonics and Descartes a Kant September 10th, 2025 The Rickshaw Theatre 19+ Doors: 7:00pm Mac Sabbath Why do we care about a disturbed clown named Ronald Osborne? A clown who’s convinced he traveled through a wormhole in the time-space continuum from the 1970’s with a band of Monsanto mutants named Slayer MacCheeze, Grimalice and the Cat Burglar? Because they are here to save us from the disastrously decayed synthetic state of music and sustenance! THAT’S WHY! Mixing raucous comedy with borderline-horrific theatrics, the only thing more petrifying than the impending health problems resulting from years of overeating fast food is a MAC SABBATH show. The gruesome foursome was recently seen performing their song, “Sweet Beef,“ for the Prince Of Darkness™ himself, Ozzy Osbourne on the American idiot box. MAC SABBATH puts on a multimedia stage show complete with a smoking grill, laser-eyed clowns, bouncing burgers and many more magical surprises! Basically, everything a theatrical rock show consumer has been jonesing for. officialmacsabbath.com The Schizophonics Over the last few years, THE SCHIZOPHONICS have built up a formidable reputation around the world as an explosive live act. Tapping into the same unstoppable combination of rock 'n' roll energy and showmanship that fueled THE MC5 in the heyday of the Grande Ballroom, their wild live show is heavily influenced by artists like JAMES BROWN, IGGY POP, JIMI HENDRIX, LITTLE RICHARD, and THE SONICS. schizophonics.com Descartes a Kant Equal parts Punk, Metal, Pop, Shoegaze and Cabaret, the critically-acclaimed underground sextet, Descartes a Kant (Guadalajara, Mexico) have made a real name for themselves as an otherworldly, unpredictable theatrical live act. So much so that even the Wall Street Journal chimed to say that “trying to describe their music is to do it a disservice. It’s loud, racy, incredibly imaginative, sophisticated, funny and wild; it’s as if the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fronted Albert Ayler with Frank Zappa conducting”. They’re considered one of the leading lights in the vibrant, ever-evolving Mexican experimental underground and are now poised to gain greater international acceptance. descartesakant.bandcamp.com RSVP on Facebook Refund Policy No refunds, unless event is cancelled.

Join us for an evening celebrating a cornerstone of Canadian publishing history with the launch of A Precarious Enterprise: Making a Life in Canadian Publishing by Scott McIntyre. McIntyre has lived, and shaped, the story of Canadian literature. From his early days at McClelland & Stewart to cofounding Douglas & McIntyre in 1970, his career spans the most exhilarating decades in the country’s literary coming-of-age. In this new memoir, McIntyre offers a vibrant, personal account of building one of Canada’s most respected publishing houses—one that championed Indigenous voices, children’s literature, and a generation of authors who helped define our national identity. A Precarious Enterprise is not just the story of one publisher and his company, but a deeply human look at the people, philosophies, and passions that animated a golden era of Canadian publishing. With anecdotes featuring iconic writers like Farley Mowat, Wayson Choy, Wade Davis, Anna Porter, and many more, this is a must-read (and must-hear!) for anyone curious about the past, present, and future of books in this country. Scott McIntyre has been influential in Canada’s fight for better and more supportive publishing policies for over 40 years, serving on numerous cultural boards and helping shape a groundbreaking UNESCO treaty that enshrines the principle of cultural diversity within international law. A member of both the Order of Canada and British Columbia, he also holds an honorary degree from Simon Fraser University. He and his wife, Corky, live in Vancouver, BC. This event is free but space is limited. RSVP here to save your spot. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Get ready for another round of fun, quirky, and brain-tingling talks at the 58th Nerd Nite Vancouver. This month we’re diving into the fuzzy (but ferocious) world of sea otters , exploring the rich traditions and meanings behind Coast Salish art , and unraveling the mysteries of not one, not two, but three Dracula translations. Grab a drink, settle in with your fellow nerds, and prepare for a night where science, culture, and pop history collide in the most entertaining way possible! This month we're donating to the Aboriginal Mother Centre Society (AMCS) you can add on to your ticket to support! Aboriginal Mother Centre Society (AMCS) is a place where Aboriginal mothers, whom are facing homelessness and/or dealing with their child/ren in care of the Ministry, can come to stay. The women can rebuild their sense of self-worth and identity for a better future for themselves and their children. AMCS is a place where they can come to be together as a family. This place would be the best fitting for babies, children, and mothers, anybody who is coming through a block in their life. Otterly Hungry: How sea otters shape their ecosystems through diet Sea otters may look like adorable, fuzzy angels, but behind those whiskers lies a ferocious appetite that can reshape entire ecosystems. To figure out just how much these critters need to eat to fuel themselves daily, Julia built a bioenergetic model—basically a sea otter calorie calculator—that accounts for age, sex, and reproductive status. Whether it’s scarfing abalone or cruising for urchins, an otter’s dietary choices can make or break their energy balance—and ultimately, their survival. She also tested what happens when their favorite food gets harder to find or is less nutritious, and spoiler: it’s bad news for foraging efficiency and habitat range expansion. This talk will discuss which group of diet specialists has their work cut out for them and how the age, sex, and reproductive state of sea otters affects their overall energetic requirements. Bio: Julia Adelsheim (she/her) hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico and spent many years living in Salem, Oregon completing both a B.A. and B.S. at Willamette University and Portland State University, respectively. At Portland State, Julia focused on marine mammal necropsy and was a necropsy technician with the Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Julia completed her MSc with the Marine Mammal Research Unit in the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (IOF)at UBC. She is currently an instructor in the IOF teaching science communication courses forvisiting international students and also works as a marine naturalist at Wild Whales Vancouver.Her interests outside of academia include bird watching, baking, hanging out in tide pools, andwatching brain-melting reality television! Exploring Coast Salish Art Have you ever looked at the ever growing displays of public Indigenous art around Vancouver and the surrounding regions, trying to place where exactly this art comes from? Maybe you have some questions as to what you are seeing and why you are just starting to see more now than ever before. Explore Coast Salish art and its revitalization with Coast Salish youth artist Alysha Collie. Alysha is a storyteller, a public speaker, a filmmaker and somehow finds time in between all that to be a part of the growing number of young Coast Salish people who are taking this ancestral art form in new directions and spaces. From her unique perspective she will guide others through her journey of connection to her ancestral art form including answering the following: What is Coast Salish Art? What is the history behind the art form? Why is it becoming more visible now? Who gets to create Coast Salish art? How can we appreciate and not appropriate Salish art? What does the future of Coast Salish art look like? By the end of this 13 minute talk, you will have nerded out about the significance of Coast Salish art and why it is integral to being visible by those who have the right to create it on these lands. Bio: Alysha Collie is a Coast Salish artist from the Soowahlie First Nation. She works at 3 Crows Productions as an Indigenous Educational Storyteller and Filmmaker. 3 Crows Productions is dedicated to educating the future generations of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members through presentations, live theatre performances and documentary filmmaking. She also works as the Indigenous Community Engagement Manager at Zee Zee Theatre and is the Indigenous Community Engagement Coordinator at Touchstone Theatre. Alysha runs her own company called The Collie Collective (@Collie.Collective on Instagram) where she focuses on decolonization and reclaiming her ancestral roots through her beaded jewelry, Salish art and apparel creations. Over the last 3 years, Alysha in partnership with local theatres, has raised over $4,500 for local Indigenous non-profits who support healing initiatives for the multi-generations that have been affected by the Residential School system in some of the most underserved parts of Vancouver. The Three Draculas In 1897, Bram Stoker's novel Dracula was published. Shortly afterwards, an Icelandic translation appeared - and for more than 100 years, nobody noticed that it was not, in fact, a translation. The text is a third the length of the original, and the Icelandic author sped through the parts he thought were a bit boring; almost all the characters' names were changed; it's a lot sexier; some characters are missing, while new ones show up (including Sigmund Freud); the Count is obsessed with boobs, and Social Darwinism.Mysteriously, many of this version's different characters and plot innovations appear in Bram Stoker's unpublished notes but not his novel. Even more mysteriously, the Icelandic adaptation turns out to have been based on an 1899 Swedish version of Dracula , by an unknown author, who decided to make it nearly twice as long as the original. Maybe to fit in extra story elements about a cult, serial murders in London, and the Count leading a huge political conspiracy so that he can rule the whole of Europe. Bio: Helen Zaltzman is a writer, performer, and the award-winning host and producer of the entertainment podcasts The Allusionist, Answer Me This and Veronica Mars Investigations. She has performed on stages across North America, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the UK, talked at TED about the dots on the letter i, and made the world's first (only?) giant inflatable Boggle set. She has appeared as a guest on a bunch of shows including The Bugle, 99% Invisible, Ologies, No Such Thing As A Fish, Short Cuts, The Infinite Monkey Cage, West Wing Weekly, Bullseye, Home Cooking, Judge John Hodgman, Buffering the Vampire Slayer and Jordan Jesse Go. She has co-authored two books that have almost certainly been pulped by now. Information Source: Nerd Nite Vancouver | eventbrite

Join us on Thursday, September 11 at 6:30pm for an author talk with writer and political scientist Alyssa Battistoni in celebration of her new book, Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature.   Capitalism is typically treated as a force for relentless commodification. Yet it fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems. In Free Gifts , Alyssa Battistoni tackles this paradox head-on. To understand contemporary ecological problems from biodiversity collapse to climate change, she contends that we must first understand how some things come to have value under capitalism, and how others do not. To help us do so, Battistoni recovers and reinterprets the idea of ‘the free gift of nature’ used by classical economic thinkers to describe what we gratuitously obtain from the natural world. She builds on Karl Marx’s critique of political economy to show how capitalism fundamentally treats nature as free for the taking. Along the way, she offers fresh insights into influential thinkers like Simone de Beauvoir, Friedrich Hayek, Garrett Hardin, Silvia Federici, and Ronald Coase. Battistoni shows how understanding capitalism’s blind spots helps explain our current ecological crises, and how we might build a world that truly values nature’s gifts. Battistoni will be in conversation with Geoff Mann, Professor at Simon Fraser University and Senior Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking.  This event is free, but please RSVP here as spots are limited.  Alyssa Battistoni is assistant professor of political science at Barnard College. She is the coauthor of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal . Her writing has appeared in The Nation , The Guardian , Boston Review , n+1 , Dissent , The New Statesman , Jacobin , and New Left Review . Geoff Mann is Distinguished Professor at Simon Fraser University and a Senior Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking. His most recent books are In the Long Run We Are All Dead: Keynesianism, Political Economy and Revolution and (with Joel Wainwright) Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future . He is a contributor to the London Review of Books , the New York Review of Books , the New Statesman , Dissent , and a few other venues.

To accompany a reading and talk by writer-in-residence Erín Moure, Western Front and The Capilano Review are pleased to present a three-part reading group dedicated to Moure’s most recent book of poems, Theophylline: A(n) (a)po(r)etic Migration (Anansi, 2023). The reading group dates are September 11, 18 & 25, 2025. Theophylline is a work of poetry motivated by asthma, seeking poetry’s futurity in a queer and female heritage. In it, Moure crosses a border as translator, to engage the poetry of three American modernists—Muriel Rukeyser, Elizabeth Bishop, and Angelina Weld Grimké. Moure asks: What is breath for? What is archive? Why write a poem, instead of... something else ? Facilitated by The Capilano Review’s Literary Editor Emily Fedoruk, the weekly sessions will explore Theophylline , alongside texts by Muriel Rukeyser, Elizabeth Bishop, and Angelina Weld Grimké. A copy of Theophylline is included in the price of registration. Books will be available for pickup at Western Front, and the additional texts in discussion will be forwarded to participants a week in advance of the start date. Space is limited to 10 participants. Participation in the reading group also includes exclusive early registration for Moure's upcoming writing workshop on October 4, 2025, at Western Front. About the Artist Erín Moure is a poet, essayist, and translator of poetry based in Montréal, Canada who works across Galician, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. A recipient of two Governor General’s Literary Awards—poetry and translation—as well as the Pat Lowther Memorial Award and the A.M.
