Lots of free, or nearly stuff to do in Vancouver this Thursday (Sept. 6, 2007)
First - want to keep up to date with Free (or nearly) stuff in Vancouver? I post to my blog, www.nancyzimmerman.com every Wednesday. Check it out!
For anyone who wants to live large (does anyone say that anymore?) without busting the bank, you’ve got a great Thursday (tomorrow) in store:
First, from one of my business’ (Your Money by Design) first alumni, the exceptionally talented Marlene Dong, of “Assaulted Fish”, live at the Fringe Festival (editor’s note - I stole the image from the internet - ignore the ‘2005′!):
____________________________________

Assaulted Fish kicks off its exciting Fringe run with a SPECIAL OFFER for our fans. Be one of the FIRST 50 people to attend our opening night performance on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 @ 6:45PM and catch our special �best of� show for free!
Just give the password (�JACKIE CHAN�) to the fine Fringe folks at the door. You can demonstrate some of your Jackie Chan �hoo-ha!� too. You won�t get any extra perks but you�ll be considered an uber fan by all in attendance.
Note: You still have to pay the one-time Fringe membership ($5) but you can use it to check out other great Fringe shows or even see our show again!
For those who can�t make it to opening night, we hope to see you at one of our other performances. Bring family! Invite friends! Gather an entourage!

and if that weren’t enough, there’s an open-to-the-public gallery reception tomorrow (Thur) as well. The Jem Gallery, located on 225 E. Broadway, is one of the newest wicked-cool and eclectic galleries in the city. Tomorrow night features the work of Joanna Bullock. Reception is from 7-11pm. I’ll be there!

Last but not least, I discovered a great little blog written by a young just-out-of-university family who write about arts and culture available on a starting-out budget. Check out their VanCal blog for intel and ideas!
