Okay, so the warmest January just passed us by and February looks equally snowless. What’s a Winter Olympics hosting city to do? Simply drown your sorrows on Granville Island while taking in local non-weather dependent culture. The Candahar bar is a recreation of the Blackthorn Bar in Belfast. Besides the amazing line up of talent hosting various readings and events throughout the month they’ll be a site-specific collaborative installation between Vancouver poet Elizabeth Bachinsky and prose writer Alex Leslie. They’ll be inviting people to black out sections of Olympics promotional material with felt markers to see what kinds of poetics ensue.
