It’s Car Free Vancouver tomorrow – and I’m going to be on Commercial Drive watching Slowpoke and the Smoke at the East End Food Co-op at 2 p.m.
Slowpoke’s “psychedelic doo-wop” gets me every time, with all those wacky Frank Zappa covers and more – played by veteran Vancouver musicians Tony Bardach, Brad Lambert, and Eric Napier.
“Let’s really take back our streets tomorrow at car free!” says main Car Free coordinator Carla Bergman, via Facebook. “Be generous, bring food to share, give out art and other things for free. Stop the buying. The drive has become too “commercial”! We will have lots of FREE stuff at the Thistle space down on Napier! Come visit.”
She’s talking about The Purple Thistle – a youth-run arts and activism centre in East Van.
We’ll be on MAIN st. Love Car-free days. And yes, we WALK over
