Pride Week 2009 – What’s up Wednesday…and a Meat Street Beat

Are you ready for the heatwave, Vancouver? I am. And for the record, I would like it to get just a little bit hotter. Just putting it out there.

It’s Humpday…so get out there and make it happen. I’d like to point out that the Pulse beer garden on Davie between Bute and Thurlow is now open from noon until the club closes. I’d also promised you a link to Xtra West’s Pride Guide online. Click here for all your event questions.

Other nighttime activity you may want to consider:

Celebration of Light: It’s Great Britain’s turn to take the sky. Their theme (Parasols over the Pacific) sounds gay enough for me. English Bay and Kits Beach still remain the best viewpoints. For more info, click here.

Celebrities Nightclub: Before there was Ru Paul, there was New York City’s LADY BUNNY! She is headlining a wild night of sexual celebration with PRIAPE

Now on to some blog things…I heard this track at Pulse last Saturday and DIED! I’m not sure if this was the remix, but damn right it sounds good. The original track is Roeyksopp featuring Robin. This remix is by Jean Elan.

Here’s the original for those not remix-inclined:
