Vancouver Weekend Event Guide: October 23rd to 25th, 2009

It’s Friday and for many that means a break from the monotonous 9 to 5 work week. Time to break bread, let loose and have some fun. Here is a look at what Vancouverites should be doing this weekend.

SPORTS

Vancouver Canucks Vs. Toronto Maple Leafs: Note the start time of 4pm. Why you ask? Well the CBC you see is not really a public broadcast station, it is a station full of homers and Toronto is where most of the top execs hail from so, you know. Another reason to hate the beleaguered Leafs or perhaps we all just say screw it and ignore them and do our own thing. Besides Montreal is a way better town anyways.The best strip clubs outside Vegas.
UFC 104: Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the light heavyweight championship. Is there anything else that needs to be said. Head to your local neighbourhood bar or any bar downtown and you’ll see this on the screen right after the Canucks, Leafs game.
