this saturday night is a public spaces event:
This coming Saturday the Vancouver Public Space Network will be hosting our first summertime Party in Public Space in one of the city's best kept secrets - New Brighton Park.
Starting at 3:00pm, the party will feature DJs, games, snacks and the same energy that helped to rock our Sea Bus and skytrain parties.
So the deal is - we supply the disco (and related) beats, you come with blanket and picnic goodies for yourself.

go to the beach.
I recommend the Spanish banks. Try to go at low tide, the beach extends really far out. Very nice.

zulu is probably worth checking out, there is also a few spots downtown as well - scratch & beat street

Zulu records is great. Tons of stuff. Go to the Naam for lunch after you go to Zulu. Awesome veggie food.
