SEVEN OAKS CABARET: A Gramscian Variety Hour

In the phony-Vancouver culture leading up to the Olympics, let's 
celebrate the real face of our city's vibrant cultural diversity! 
Join us this Friday -- and the last Friday of every month after 
that -- for live musical performances, author readings, comedy, 
theatre and more, hosted by stand-up commie(dian) Charles Demers.

THIS WEEK SEE:
singer-songwriter Chelsea Conrod!
novelist Sikeena Karmali!
hilarity-maker monologuist Morgan Brayton!
comedians Phil Hanley and Sean Devlin!
the raunchy song stylings of Siamese Twins!

and your host: sketch comic, stand-up comic, sketchy activist and 
stand-up guy, Charles Demers.

"The drivers smoked and talked on the sidewalk, hatless in dark suits, sharing 
an alertness that would be evident only in retrospect when their eyes went hot 
in their heads and they shed their cigarettes and vacated their unstudied 
stances, having spotted the objects of their regard.

"For now they talked, in accented voices, some of them, or first languages, 
others, and they waited for the investment banker, the land developer, the 
venture capitalist, for the software entrepreneur, the global overlord of 
satellite and cable, the discount broker, the beaked media chief, for the 
exiled head of state of some smashed landscape of famine and war."
