What do you mean it’s been ages since you’ve been out on the town to see a show? Sure, groceries cost about a billion dollars these days, but you still buy yourself a slice of ‘za to fill that stomach when it’s empty.

It’s the same with the soul (spirit, inspiration, essence—whatever you want to call it). It’s worth keeping your creative side well fed.

Here are a few events going on around Vancouver to keep that all-important part of you all fueled up.
