Description
It’s sunny, it’s warm, and it’s time for Pivot’s Summer Potluck in Wonderland! Come out and join Pivot staff, board, interns, and volunteers for a relaxed potluck at Trout Lake Park on Sunday July 12th. Mingle with other Pivot supporters, talk social change, play a game of croquet, or just lounge in shade and enjoy the scenery.
We will be sharing the south-eastern side of park with the 15th annual Alice in Wonderland Festival and Mad Tea Party and the organizers are excited about Pivot supporters being part of the festivities.
So bring your rabbit ears and/or top hats and get ready for quite a show – the festival runs from 1 – 5 and the finale includes a performance by the legendary Carnival Band.
To see the festival in action – check out this video from last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWXy65GNX5s
Plus! See the new top 40 Hope in Shadows photos and vote for your favourite three!
What: Pivot Summer Potluck in Wonderland
When: Sunday, July 12th 3 – 8
Where: Trout Lake off 19th Avenue (south-east end of the park)
Who: Pivot supporters like you!
What you should bring:
Food: bring your favorite dish to share with everyone – and just so that we don’t end up with 200 different potato salads, send Naila a quick email at getinvolved [at] pivotlegal [dot] com and let us know what you are bringing. We are attempting to make the potluck a paper-plate free event, so please bring something to eat on (ceramic plate, tupperware, etc.) and utensils.
Musical instruments: if you have a musical instrument and feel like playing on a Sunday in the park, please bring it along.
Games: we have the basics – soccer, frisbee, croquet – covered but if you have a game that you really want to share, bring it out.
Costumes: If you want to engage with the festival the possibilities are endless (see the video). Some easy items include: rabbit ears, top hats, face-paint, Alice dresses.
Looking forward to seeing you in the park!

AHA MEDIA attended The Miss Guide’s “Walking the Ruins: Fragments of Vancouver
April Smith and Peter Davies of AHA MEDIA on behalf of W2 Community Media Arts http://www.creativetechnology.org attended the “Walking the Ruins: Fragments of Vancouver with commentary by The Miss Guides made up of a art collective of Natalie Doonan, Katharine Somody and Sean George .
AHA MEDIA found the walk a delightful blend of a historical tour and a theatrical performance. It was like taking part of a National Film Board of Canada documentary but in real time and experience 🙂
A unique blend of historical tour and street theatre, this one hour walk will make you experience Vancouver as though for the first time. Using the city as their stage, The Miss Guides will lead you through the gritty underbelly of a city teeming with secrets.
From glamour to grime, Walking the Ruins explores four surprising urban sites, drawing unexpected connections between the forgotten past and overlooked present.
Audiences are limited to 12 adults, and groups meet on the Northwest corner of Granville and Hastings Streets, in front of Sinclair Centre, rain or shine ( bring an umbrella )
Walking the Ruins runs July 9 – August 1: Thursdays + Fridays at 7pm; Saturdays at 2pm.
Tickets $20 ( includes entry to Harbour Center’s The Lookout, valued at $13) available through: http://www.themissguides.com
or http://www.tickettonight.ca or 604.684.2787
