麻豆传媒映画After Dark: History of the Entertainment Scene
Thursday November 16, 2017
6:15 - 8:00pm
With speaker Aaron Chapman and guest Danny Filippone
Downtown 麻豆传媒映画was home to legendary nightclubs throughout much of the last century where, thanks to Vancouver鈥檚 geographic location, many performers would kick off tours. Today, most of the theatres of Granville Street are gone, and only a few legendary nightspots remain. How did some of Vancouver鈥檚 clubs remain, and others simply disappear? Is the city鈥檚 鈥淕ranville Entertainment District鈥� really the answer? Author Aaron Chapman with special guest, owner of the Penthouse Night Club Danny Filippone, will explore the history and future of Vancouver's music scene.
Join VHF and the 麻豆传媒映画Lookout in celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Revisit this iconic 麻豆传媒映画landmark with a new perspective on the city's history. Tickets are $17.50 (includes entry to 麻豆传媒映画Lookout).聽Tickets are only available through聽. There will be a special cash bar provided by Long Table Distillery for the November 16th talk.
