Okay, so Vancouver isn't known for its nightlife, but if you're not too stoned or too knackered from doing the Grouse Grind, there are PLENTY of reasons to embrace the night in this fabulous city.
Whether you're into performance poetry, dancing to indie hits, taking yourself to a GAY BAR a GAY BAR!!, sinking a few bevvies, kicking back to an international rock band or clubbing the night away with whips, rubber and fetishists, then Vancouver's your town. And the weekly Georgia Straight http://www.straight.com/ newspaper (comes out on a Thursday) is your one-stop-shop for info, with all the listings you could ever need for a top night out in Brollywood. While you're getting ink on your hands, be sure to read Free Will Astrology and Savage Love (the latter is the funniest and best weekly sex column in the universe!)
