Candahar Photo Show: 22 Feb 2010

The Candahar Pub: Theo Sims

I’ll be reading at the Candahar, 22 Feb. I’m presenting photographs of “wall art” by the local street artists who inspired me during the writing of my upcoming novel The Blue Light Project.

The show starts at 7 with a reading by poet Gregory Betts. I’m on around 8:30. Stay after my presentation for a screening of Murray Siple’s film “Carts of Darkness”, about the shopping cart races that happen on Mountain Highway in North Vancouver.

A creation of Theo Sims, the Candahar is a working Belfast pub that unfolds out of a shipping container, complete with two Belfast barkeeps who may or may not travel in the container.
