Vancouver International Burlesque Festival

The Vancouver International Burlesque Festival is this weekend!  I'm thinking about going, if I don't go snowboarding.  According to the site:

Vancouver has long been famous for breathtaking mountain views, gorgeous beaches, yoga mats and fat-free vanilla lattes, but you may be surprised as to the nature of the city’s more recent claim to fame. Over the last decade, a hugely diverse cross-section of Vancouver’s subculture - from punk clubs to rockabilly shows to electronica parties to queer clubs to political demonstrations - have been organizing their own DIY cabarets far beneath the bicycles and SUVS. Burlesque is fun, sexy, fresh, accessible and BACK for good… especially in Vancouver.

Yoga mats and fat-free vanilla lattes don't come to mind when I think of Vancouver, but maybe I have just had different experiences on visits to that fair city.  Anyway, any excuse to go to Vancouver is good enough for me, and this sounds fun.
