Heading to Livingspace’s showroom and parking lot for an evening of “Furniture, Fashion, and Fun”.

Decked out to the nines, the Kits locale acting as an intimate street party and indoor lounge on a cool summer night, just barely avoiding the rain.

Enjoying some classic cocktails from House Guest Supper Club (vodka sour and raspberry daiquiri).

Washing it down after some delicious samosas from Vij’s Railway Express (left) and fish tacos from TacoFino Cantina (right) food trucks parked outside.

Experiencing Livingspace’s new showroom of interesting takes on modern living and lifestyle just ajar from the sushi bar from Ki Modern Japanese.

Janice and I being silly and posing with our drinks in the upstairs furnishing showroom lounge with everything in support of Emily Carr’s Industrial Design program and scholarship fund.

Capping the night with the main event, an offbeat, eclectic runway fashion show from Bacci’s. Here’s to the good life.
