Kl celebrates spring, new barbecue and new friends

Another sunny day in Vancouver, and not even a brisk breeze could dampen the enthusiasm of our Kl barbecue fans as we got together on the roof deck to christen (so to speak) our new barbecue, generously donated by Heidi and Gordon.

Hamid and Farnoosh, and Moe and Fay decided that they would organize the inaugural barbecue by providing some Persian dishes - beef and chicken shish kebabs, and accompaniments.

Their invitation read BYOB, but of course as well as wine, everyone brought a dish, whether salads, rice, vegetables or dessert. So as usual we had a feast. And of course, as usual it was a great opportunity for some newcomers to the building to meet and greet.

Above are shown Farnoosh, Moe and Fay with Susan, and the barbecue kings at work. At left is a picture of our hosts Hamid, Gordon and Moe are shown with Fritz, bridge organizer extraordinaire. I missed getting a photo of our other host Heidi - yoga teacher extraordinaire! Maybe at the next class?

And I could not resist a picture of Hilary's icecream dessert with sugar cones and caramel topping

Palace of the End - Another Must See Play

My next pick for "do not miss":
Palace of the End is on till June 6 at the PAL theatre on Cardero

This controversial play consists of three brilliantly written and superbly performed monologues about three real people connected one way or another to Iraq. I think this is some of the best acting I have seen recently and I have seen a lot of really good shows.

Also saw Les Miserables and I think this production is great.

BTW someone asked me about the cost for our Dance-Fit-to-Latin- Music in the gym on Sunday mornings- and of course there is no cost. it is just a group of us, getting a great workout to some terrific music. No dance skill required - just shoes with leather soles and a readiness to have fun. Two left feet quite acceptable

Hi all

I have just seen a delightful play at the Jericho Arts Centre called 36 Views. I think there are only another three performances so if you get a chance this Friday or Saturday, think about seeing it. Have not completed my review yet but I wanted to get this out. Call 604-224-8007 ext 3 for tickets.

Also just seen Les Miserables at the Stanley and it is excellent. Have three more plays coming up this week and will report back through reviewfromthehouse.com

DanceFit Alert:

Latin Dance Fit will resume in the gym this Sunday at 10 for anyone who wants to try it. See you there
