Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo @ The Columbia
Mar 17 @ 6:00 pm – Mar 18 @ 12:00 am

IRL Events is proud to help sponsor the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo.

This 15-hour gaming expo has taken the basics of vendors, retro video games, tournaments, panels, charity auctions, costumes, etc. and spiced it up a bit with a licensed venue, a DJ spinning some old-school tracks and remixes, and nerd burlesque into the evening.

Instead of 2-3 shorter days with the same content spread out, as much content as possibly could has been crammed into one big day.

For more information, check out the IRL Events forum, or http://www.vancouvergamingexpo.com/.

Wasted Talent Launch Party @ The Pint
Apr 15 @ 2:30 am – 6:45 am

To kick off the launch of Wasted Talent: Welcome to the Real World, Angela Melick is hosting a launch party at The Pint in Downtown Vancouver. Yes, she knows that this is on short notice. Yes, she knows that everybody’s going to be watching their favorite hockey squadron score a basket in the last quarter. But you know what? That’s the way the real world works. Awesome stuff just happens while you’re making other plans. So do yourself a favour and stop by and say hi. There will be beer and cake.
