THEATRE - BENT

Written in 1979 by Sherman Miller, BENT is the groundbreaking story of acceptance, tolerance and love in the wrong time and the wrong place -- Nazi Germany. The play starred international queer icon Ian McKellen in its original 1979 West-End production. A “must-see” for each queer, BENT will be tackled by Montreal community-minded theatre company Altera Vitae (click for tix). November 5 – 15.

Breckenridge Ski Resort Opening Day
Coloradans celebrate the arrival of snowflakes in November, and there’s no better place to welcome winter than at Breckenridge.  On November 12, Breckenridge opens the ski season with a kick-off celebration by serving up free pancakes and waffles on the Bergenhof deck starting at 8:30 a.m. Lifts start running on Peak 8 at 9:00 a.m. And on Friday the 13th, Comedian Craig Robinson performs at the Riverwalk Center.  You’ll remember Robinson from “The Office,” “Pineapple Express,” and “Knocked Up.” Grab dinner before the show at my favorite bistro, Modis.

What is the best thing that you like about your ride?

It's a 1958 Chevy Apache ½ ton longbox pickup truck. “She's got style, she's got grace, She's a winner. She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa...” Sometimes she reminds me of Marg Simpson’s sisters – cigarette dangling with a smokers cough obsessing about MacGyver.

Love road trips, although with the high price of gas I try to keep it to a minimum.  Drove to visit a friend staying in Montreal, drove 3hrs one way in the fall of last year (2008), had a wonderful time leaf peeping.
