HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO ME
AHHHHHH
I’M OLD LOL GIVE ME A PRESENT LOL in honour of my birthday I’m just going to
post (in lieu of events) a list of some things that I love.
I
LOVE BARBRA STREISAND
She’s
hilarious; she goes after what she wants; she’s the kind of strong female lead
that is rarely, rarely seen in modern cinema; she has the voice of six women;
did I mention that she’s hilarious? Everyone, please watch Funny Girl, it will be the
biggest favour to yourself.
I
LOVE FASHION
It’s
something that I take seriously, but not crazy seriously; I think the greatest
thing about fashion as a mode of self-expression is that it can be just fun. I
know there’s a dark side to fashion (too-skinny models, shopping addictions,
over-consumption, etc.) but if you can use it without letting it take you over,
it’s so much fun and really can make you feel better about being yourself and
help you live the life you want to live!!!!
I
LOVE OVERSHARING
I
have no boundaries, you guys. But I don’t really think it’s that much of a
problem? Like I can see it as negative in the sense that like, yeah, sometimes
I can be kind of self-absorbed, but on the other hand, I also do really love
hearing what other people have to say? I dunno, I just like telling people how
I’m feeling on Facebook. And of course, I love Facebook.
I
LOVE MAKING COLLAGES
I
keep having this thing where I have free time and I should spend it doing
homework but instead I just stay up all night making collages. It’s soooo fun,
you guys! And since it’s my birthday and like, whatever, no one even reads this
anyway, but I’m gonna shamelessly self-promote and tell you to follow my Tumblr
where I post them at aqueenbeeseaqueen.tumblr.com. Hooray!
TUESDAY

AND PIZZA. 12 PM. Courier Office (Maple building). Free!
PROBABLY
A METAL SHOW?
At
the Astoria! Featuring Black Mastiff, The Silver Skeleton Band, The Fatalz, and
Johnny De Courcy, who I think might be my friend Willam’s brother? But I’m not
100 per cent sure! Anyways, to me, those all sound like metal bands. 9 PM. The
Astoria. $5.
HELLO,

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY MARINA!
I
love u gurl. Everyone give this chica a big hug, she’s very beautiful and also
hilarious and smart.
ROCOCODE
WITH GUESTS
The
guests are Ryan Guldemond and Wintermitts! I feel like I’ve heard of
Wintermitts but I dunno. I’m literally too lazy to find anything out about this
band, I’m looking at their website and it’s really nice? I’m guessing by the
layout that it’s like, pretty nice, pretty chill indie pop-ish music. 8 PM. The
Electric Owl Social Club (926 Main St.). $10.
LIVE
AT SQUAMISH LAUNCH PARTY
Featuring
Current Swell and The Matinee! Maybe I’ll go to this this summer; I do love
music festivals a little bit at a time, and Squamish is actually really
beautiful in the summer. Anyways! Launch party? 9 PM. The Commodore Ballroom.
$15.05.
LEO
BAE SEPTET AT PRESENTATION HOUSE
Yay
for jazz! My friend Leo Bae and his septet (which is mostly made up of friends
of mine or at the least acquaintances) is playing at Presentation House this
week. Leo writes some really cool compositions, and also can always be counted
on for hilarious banter, so you should check it out. 8 PM. Presentation House
(333 Chesterfield St.). $10.
TARTAN
DAY
“SFU's
Centre for Scottish Studies celebrates Tartan Day with the launch of their
online oral history project, ‘Scottish Voices from the West’, piping,
entertainment by the Gaelic choir and the Vancouver RSCDS, and a presentation
on the Museum of Scotland.” 7:30 – 10:30 PM. SFU Harbour Centre (515 W.
Hastings St.). Free!
THURSDAY
APRIL 5
DID
YOU KNOW THAT
In
China they celebrate a day called “Cold Food Festival” and today is the first
of three consecutive days to celebrate it! I guess you could eat a sandwich or
a salad? Some cold leftovers (if you’re into that, cold leftovers actually make
me vomit a bit though)? Look it up on Wikipedia so you can research it more
thoroughly? NOW YOU KNOW. HAPPY COLD FOOD FESTIVAL
INSPIREHEALTH
PRESENTS FORKS OVER KNIVES
I
saw part of this movie with my parents and it’s really rad! All about the
health ramifications of eating meat! Personal note, I’ve started keeping a “Meat
Diary” where I take note of when I eat meat/how much – it’s been really helpful
in helping me really get a gauge on things! Anyways, the film will be followed
by a question period with panel of experts – fun! 7 – 10 PM. The Ridge Theatre
Vancouver (3131 Arbutus St.). $20.
THE
WEDDING PRESENT W/ PINKY PIGLETS
Never
heard of either of these bands. “The Wedding Present … will … be playing their 1991
album Seamonsters in
full. Seamonsters was
their most successful album in North America … and the first to be recorded for
them by Steve Albini (at Pachyderm Disc studios in Minnesota).” 8 PM. The
Biltmore. $16.
FRIDAY
APRIL 6
GOOD
FRIDAY
Thing
I always wondered back in Sunday School back in the days that I was a
super-Christian: why is it called Good Friday if Jesus is dying? Why isn’t it
called Bad Friday? Think about it. It doesn’t make any sense. This might be why
I’m no longer religious.
CHAIRLIFT
W/ NITE JEWEL
Brooklyn
synth-pop duo supporting the release of their newest album Something. If you're also friends
with my friend Giles then he's undoubtedly hounded you to watch their artsy
video for "Amanamonesia", during which vocalist Caroline Polachek
does interpretive dance. Please do that live, Caroline. 8 – 11 PM. The Electric
Owl. $13.
COINCIDENTALLY
MY BIRTHDAY PARTY
Come
get wasted and do some karaoke with me! I’m going to just do the entire
soundtrack to Funny Girl, I think. Or maybe I’ll do a combo “Don’t Rain On My
Parade”/“Before the Parade Passes By.” Parade themed! 8 PM. The Pressbox. Cost
of you buying me a drink ;)
MUSIC
WASTE FUNDRAISER
Holy
shit! Maybe I’ll go to this as well? Watermelon, Random Cuts, Love Cuts, and
Slim Fathers! DJs! Dancing! This sounds awesome. I Love Fun. Yeah, I think I’m
just gonna end up here. I feel like I put this in the calendar last week by
accident? 10 PM – 2 AM. The Astoria. $5 before 11!
SHOW
AT THE RICKSHAW
This
also seems cool! But I doubt I’ll be able to make it to THREE things in one
night. I just don’t have the stamina. Typhoon plays with guests Kellarissa
(does stuff with Rose Melberg sometimes!) and Bleating Hearts (many-piece love-orchestra!
At least from what I remember. Possibly I am mixing them up with someone else).
8 PM. The Rickshaw Theatre. $12.
SATURDAY
APRIL 7
2012
WORLD WIDE PILLOW FIGHT CLUB 7.0
I
think I’m gonna do this with my sister! It’s simple: just carry around a pillow
and then exactly at the right time, start pillow fighting! Then leave! Don’t be
a dick, don’t hurt anybody, and just have fun for exactly half and hour then stop.
I love my sister! 3 – 3:30 PM. Vancouver Art Gallery. Free!
SHOW
AT GRACELAND
(Graceland
formerly The Mansion). Velvet Fist, KMVP, SLOWFAST, Noisy Tits, and Bath House play
a show! I’m not super familiar with all these bands but KMVP is literally one
of my favourite fucking bands right now, my band is covering their song “Nobody’s
Down With Sexist Movies” at our show tomorrow (tomorrow being … last Saturday).
6 – 11 PM. Graceland (“ask around”). By Donation (for touring bands).
JAMES
Omg!
I definitely went through a period when I was completely obsessed with the song
“Laid”. “This bed in on fire with passion and love/the neighbours complain
about the noises above/but she only comes when she’s on top”! Sooooo goooood. 7
PM. The Commodore Ballroom. $44.
SPRING
FLOWER SALE AND SHOW
Ever
wanted to see things that lack consciousness compete to be the prettiest? The
Alpine Garden Club of B.C. presents a judged show of “live plants in 65
categories including many rock-garden plants and primulas, bonsai, dwarf
conifers, dwarf rhodos, ferns, and more.” Flowers will also be on sale! 1 – 4

EASTER
SUNDAY!!!!
There
are probably like a million easter egg hunts happening today, so just google
like, “[insert your city name] easter egg hunt” and you’ll find one. There we
go! You’re welcome, everybody. I’m glad I could help.
CHRISTIAN

fun trying to convince your kids that Easter is more important than Christmas
lol. Also that Easter “isn’t just about candy”.
