Block Party Friday

Nothing says Pride like street party shenanigans. If you're looking for something to do tonight, this should be it:



Here's my write up from the Pride Guide. See you there!

Davie Street Pride Party

Anything goes on Davie Street. Locals know this. International visitors see it all summer long. This year, the same philosophy will rule the annual the Davie Street Party, which is taking place on Pride Friday (July 31). Gates open at 7pm and Davie will be closed from Bute to Burrard until midnight.

This street party is the David Hasselhoff of street parties: drunken, hairy, yet strangely majestic in all it’s trashy-trashed glory.

Remember: nothing says “nice to meet you” like putting your face in a stranger’s groin, so make sure to take your turn on the giant Twister board.

This year also features an expanded DJ line-up for a beat pumpin’, feet stompin’ good time. Don’t miss DJ Betty Ford, who is a good friend of electro-smut princess Peaches. Her set will break your ears and then break your heart. DJ G-love, DJ Dickey Doo and DJ Popmachine will round out a great roster.

You should also make sure to check out live performances by the always-smoldering Destineak, as well as by Vancouver’s own pop starlets Armstrong Jr. and Peter Breeze.

For a $7 unlimited re-entry cover fee, you can beer garden hop at your own leisure before ending up at one of Davie Street’s many bars or circuit parties. Don’t miss out on this one.

Missed the Point

The block party on Davies street completely missed the point of a Davie st. party but instead a concentration camp was erected in the middle of the street with most of the residents of the area standing outside of the barriers.

The city and organizers should have blocked off only the ends of the streets so accessibility of cars was stopped and what kind of community event has a $7 entrance fee.

Big mistake as many if not all those people standing outside the barriers would surely have participated and bought $5 bottles of water or beer if they had been welcomed to join in. This would have more than made up for the lost entrance fees.

I like the idea but this city does not know how to pull it off!
