V.I.P. on V.I.A! A Tale of Douglas Coupland and The Electric Owl...

Every week V.I.A. Giveaways will give you a chance to win ... something. Watch this space and if you're a real keener, follow @VIAGiveaways on the Twitter for even more good times and random free stuff! This week is all about the V.I.P.

This week is all about the V.I.P. experience, which to me means being on that magical piece of documentation known as "the list" and the feeling of self-righteous awesome that can only be had from breezing past those other people who are not. Oh, yeah.

Technophiles will undoubtedly appreciate an evening with one of Vancouver's Most Awesome, Douglas Coupland, at the Waldorf Hotel (complete with $30 gift certificate to Nuba!).

Electrophiles will get a charge from being at the über-exclusive opening launch party for Vancouver's newest hotspot, The Electric Owl.

Both of these awesome V.I.P. events are happening this Thursday, which is so obviously, like, the new Saturday.

Join esteemed author and visual artist Douglas Coupland, who will be hosting an interactive presentation on Marshall McLuhan and YouTube at The Waldorf Hotel. For more information go HERE. I have two pairs of passes and two $30 gift certificates. You get the message?

Like most Canadians, this was my introduction to Marshall McLuhan.

Ms. McAvoy alluded to this pretty awesome event HERE, and of course she'll be taking fotos, too. I can't take your foto but I might be able to get you in, as I have two pairs of passes to this shindig. The American Hotel on Main Street has been roosting a new venue as part of its renovation, and on Thursday The Electric Owl will be hatching. Check out this really great article at Scout Magazine for more information about the renovation and the new nightspot which will be featuring.... izakaya cuisine.

All night.

(Which, to me, means an evening spent gorging on endless skewers and a serious case of Spanx.)

Here's the deal: I have TWO pairs of passes for both of these events on Thursday.

Leave a comment below explaining to all the lovelies reading V.I.A. right now whether you're a technophile or an electrophile. Winners will be picked at random and contacted via email. Contest closes at 10:00 am on Thursday, May 26.

Good luck!
