We’re giving away a double pass to the 4th Annual “Interesting Vancouver” talk going down at the Museum of Vancouver on Friday, October 14th. Stay close to our Facebook page this evening for the swag. Interesting speakers from all walks of life will be telling cool stories (on beer, the urban myths surrounding sneakers hanging from power lines, the art and significance of tattoos, etc.). Since it’s a MOV gig, we trust it’s been curated to be engaging…

“The idea behind Interesting Vancouver is that by avoiding any specific theme (other than things that are interesting), the evening centres instead on the creativity, ideas and locally-sourced knowledge sharing for and by Vancouverites from a variety of walks and disciplines. Anyone with an open mind who enjoys surprise and delight will enjoy this unique event,” say organizers. The Interesting Vancouver 2011 will bring carefully curated speakers to fill the schedule from a person prevailing from a terminal illness to someone building their own plane to urban myths of shoes dangling from power lines plus much more.

Sounds like a good launch pad for a different Friday night out, no? For more information and ticket sales (there can be only one SWAG winner, I’m afraid), check out www.interestingvancouver.com and for information on Museum of Vancouver programs head over to www.museumofvancouver.ca.
