Vancouver Pride Gaydown: T-minus 11 days

HSBC's Festival of Lights...Rumour had it in the crowd that the theme of tonight's display was Godzilla. Others said it was attack-by-sea. I saw neither, but in my defense, I turn to the wisdom that is Madonna: opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

In any case, it's was Canada's big night out. Canuck pyrotechnics for a Canuck crowd. Forget, for a minute, the ooos and ahhs, the explosive conclusions and the bight-night sky. This year's theme for Vancouver Pride, briefly, is 30 years of the rainbow. I love that our city's fireworks display coincide with Vancouver Pride. If you're looking for a rainbow, look no further than English Bay. If you missed out, check out the next fireworks night on July 26.

Reminder: tomorrow night is the grand finale of Vancouver's search for the next hottest go-go dancer at Celebrities. Terry Costa and his team at Mirateca are promising a kick-ass show. Here are the finalists:
