Listen to this song by DJ Leanne! She created this chilly and relaxing song especially for our “Illuminate Yaletown” event coming up February 21st! Come to Yaletown and get inspired by light installations from leading light artists. Maybe you’ll be able to write your own song about your experiences afterwards 
Listen!
Today I experienced another time that browsing the Internet always affords surprises. I just discovered that Yaletown’s going to be a location for a photography group’s photo shoot. This will be February 21st when astonishing light art will illuminate Yaletown. I can just say that this date is a really good choice to get a picture of Yaletown. See how the Internet connects, brings together and leads people to come to Yaletown! Why don’t you join us on this day as well?

Hey guys here are some videos I took when I was in Yaletown this weekend
i had such a good time in Ytown this weekend. played with some hip hop dance boys on Friday night in front of EQ3. they had some crazy moves and awesome style. Dj Leanne started out playing nicely with the boys, but then decided to pick up the pace and challenge the dance boys to keep up. so they kept up, and put the rest of us to shame. check out the videos and pics to join the party late.
saturday block party was tons of fun. lots of great prizes just for showing up, the hip hop dance boys came back and ready to take on Dj Joel West. so the block was full of dancers, people laughing, the clacking prize wheel and even a tiny tots lemonade stand. The Femsport competitors were great to watch too, as the hauled heavy weights and run obstacle courses. Even the Yaletown firemen (hot hot hot) showed up to cheer on the ladies (check out the pics). Next year maybe the firemen will compete. count me in.
Hey guys come out to Yaletown this weekend. There is going to be 3 great events:
Hot Friday on Aug 8th featuring DJ Leanne & ZUZU, along with them is going to be 4 great hip-hop dancers.
On Aug 9th there is going to be a block party on the 1000 block of Hamilton, which is going to have DJ Joel West, with caricature artists, sales and prizes galore. I can’t wait for the prize wheel as there is going to be awesome prizes.
Also on Aug 9th there is going to be FEMSPORT for the first time ever in Yaletown. It’s a group of elite athletic women competing in different activities. These women work hard and are in great shape (but don’t look like men).
I can’t wait for the weekend as Yaletown is going to be the place to be and be seen!
Great weather, Great location, Great movie and Great event organizers made Yaletown’s first outdoor movie a huge success. Can’t wait for another one!
