Hosted by the incredibly limber and often naked Berlin M Stiller, with Tiffany Ann Co and Janessa. 10pm-3am. Celebrities Nightclub, 1022 Davie St. $5 cover. celebritiesnightclub.com

Party For Pride
All of you “nothing new ever happens on Davie Street” naysayers should break your routine and travel to New Westminster — it’s only one Skytrain ride away to the burbs — and enjoy a night of dessert and dancing.

Tickets $10 and info at www.facebook.com/events/1418054678499256/
