December 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th
at the Roundhouse Community Centre Theatre

Love, exciting and new … come aboard … we’re expecting you! Yes, the Love Sub (the world’s first and finest luxury sub cruise experience) is once again filled with passengers eager for romance, and certain to find it in the most unlikely of places. It’s all part of Sub Plots, The Musical - the latest hilarious confection from The Broadway Chorus.

The Love Sub will be visiting the Mermaid’s Lagoon, the Octopus’s Garden, and the Lost City of Atlantis (some surcharges for shore excursions may apply). We can’t guarantee a happy ending for every romance, but we promise a lot of music and madness along the way.

Look for me as “Mr. Manta Ray”, entangled in an underwater love triangle!

This 21st production from The Broadway Chorus features songs from current hits like Promises, Promises, flops you’ve never heard of like The Golden Apple, rarely-performed golden age shows like Damn Yankees, and many, many more!

To reserve tickets e-mail ashley.lm@ubc.ca or call 778-322-7182 (and we’ll return your e-mail or phone call with a confirmation). Tickets are $15, and $12 for seniors, students, and children. All shows begin at 8:00pm.

The Roundhouse Community Centre is located at Davie & Pacific in Vancouver’s Yaletown district, just about half a block from the Yaletown/Roundhouse Canada Line Stations. There is also paid underground parking available under the Community Centre (access through the lane) and across Davie at the Urban Fare grocery store.

Almost 20 years after Indiana Jones last galloped across the big screen in “The Last Crusade”, the bullwhip-cracking hero is back on Thursday, May 22. As a diehard “Raiders” fan, I plan to be there on the first day and would love to get a group of friends together to share the adventure of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

Naturally, I’ll be in full Indy regalia, and I encourage you to also “dress up” in the spirit of this 1930′s adventure!

The Schedule:

I located an ancient scroll that reveals the top-secret location and showtime for the premiere. Well, OK, I actually just found it on the Internet. Here’s the details:

Day: Thursday, May 22
Location: Scotabank (aka the Paramount) theatre, downtown Vancouver (Burrard @ Smithe)
Time: 7:00 pm.

The movie runs 122 minutes, so we’ll be done by a little after 9.

The Plan, Part 1: Tickets

This showing will sell out – getting tickets at the door is chancy. Please arrange your tickets in advance via the online ticketing service of the Paramount. Visit this URL (and ignore the silly popup message; see below):

Paramount Theatre Online Tickets Page

Once there, choose Thursday, May 22 from the pop-up menu, and take it from there.Note:Mac users may get a messages hinting strongly that you should use Internet Explorer. Don’t believe this Microsoft propaganda. I had perfect success in Firefox and I suspect Safari will also work for you.

The Plan, Part 2: Meeting

The theatre will be a zoo and good seats will go in a flash, so I would aim to get there a full hour before at 6:00. I’ll be stationed in the Paramount lobby at about that time, and watching out for the gang. Hopefully we’ll all have arrived and confirmed/purchased our tickets by the top of the hour, as that’s when I will be heading for the actual theatre lineup. My cell will still stay on as long as possible for last-minute communications.

RSVP’ing

Please confirm via email if you’ll be attending so I know who to watch for… and I will also provide you with my cell number in case you need to reach me at any time up to showtime!

The wait is nearly over – I hope you can join me in this grand big-screen thrill ride!

Hi all,

I was saddened to read of the imminent closing of Wally’s Burgers on Kingsway at the end of this month, and the resulting disappearance of one last bit of that strip’s historic car culture. Between that and the looming “redevelopment” of the 2400 Motel, the last one standing of many such motels that used to line Kingsway, the little historic character that remains on the “Royal Road” will soon be a memory.

So, I say, let’s go celebrate it while we still can!

On Monday, March 24th, last day of the Easter long weekend, you’re invited to join me as we cruise down Kingsway, and into the past, in my classic 1963 Rambler. Our first stop: the 2400 Motel, with its individual “cabin” style accommodation and its truly fabulous neon sign.

Then, we’ll head for Wally’s Burgers for some classic drive-in style food under the fading but still jaunty-looking Wally’s sign. Be sure to order the “top-secret relish”.

If at all possible, do dress for the fabulous 50′s and 60′s era we will be celebrating. From Fonzie-style greaser or poodle skirted bobby-soxer to Kennedy-era cat-eye glasses and scarf wraps… or wherever your imagination (and available wardrobe) takes you!

Depending where you are, I can pick you up on the way or meet you at the 2400 – just let me know. I plan to leave the West End at 10:00 AM. Email me if you’re interested!
