For our fans of the theatre, check out Never the Sinner

Our qnnecting team heard of an awesome show coming up that's perfect for our theatre lovers.  It's called Never the Sinner and it's a "brilliant documentary play about the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, a curiously queer case, known in its time as the 'crime of the century' and still one of the most notorious."

It's on for two thrilling nights from November 8-9 at 8:00pm at the Carousel Theatre (1412 Cartwright Street, Granville Island).

Admission is "pay what you can at the door", which is amazing too!

For more information about the event, the writer, the director, and the performers, please see their Facebook event page at http://www.facebook.com/events/273100946143338/.

VPL presents GLBTQ Read Dating!

Who would have thought that a trip to the Central Branch library would spark another qnnecting opportunity!

The idea is simple but genius!  Read dating (a play on the word speed dating) involves a group of GLBTQ attendees getting together and bringing along their favourite book, DVD or CD as a conversation starter.  Everyone is given a pseudonym, a character from a GLBTQ novel, and will get to meet, greet, and chat up 12 other read daters.  After the event, VPL kindly creates a separate email account to allow attendees to qnnect with others they would like to see again. 

We love how superbly organized this event is, from the wonderful pseudonyms to the innovative icebreaker.  If you are a lover of books, music and/or movies, we would highly recommend this event.  In fact, we’ve got a resident bibliophile on the Qnnecting team who plans to attend.

More details about the event and how to RSVP can be found at http://www.vpl.ca/news/details/read_dating_-_glbtq. The next one is just a week away on July 21 2012.
