RIP
Anita Roddick (1942-2007) founder of The Body Shop and cruelty-free beauty products died earlier this month. Today she would have been 65. Lather yourself up guilt free for her today.

FACEBOOKCAMP
We’ll admit the name got us at first too, but an event billed as an “unconference-style meet-up” about Facebook really seems to defeat the whole idea of Facebook. The not actually having to meet them aspect is the best part. It’s like you’re super excited to get contacted by someone who you were in a play with in grade nine but you never want to have to meet them, let alone share a tent. Perfect. Social reconnection at a distance. Still. The name…Facebookcamp. It’s a little weird.

5:30 pm – 9:30 pm at Vancouver Film School (420 Homer)

GUEST SPEAKER
Former Canadian ambassador to the US — Allan Gotlieb — speaks about his experiences living and working as a liaison between us and them during the Reagan years. That was back in the 80’s. Iran Contras all round.

12-2pm at the Hyatt Regency — Regency Ballroom (655 Burrard Street)
