How they do in Vansterdam

Every year on April 20th @ 4:20 pm at the Art Gallery in downtown Vancouver.

4:20

And of course, happy 4:20 people. Make sure to indulge yourself for the "holiday".
Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term, one central root of the phrase stems from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California in 1971; the teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke cannabis at the Louis Pasteur statue. The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis!", and became popularized in the late 1980s by fans of The Grateful Dead. Many North American cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. In some locations this celebration coincides with Earth Week.

Planet B-Boy in Philly on Friday.

With compelling characters and vibrant dance sequences, PLANET B-BOY is set in the International world of b-boying - the urban dance more commonly known as "breakdancing."

Weaving between the vivid backdrops of Osaka, Paris, Seoul and Las Vegas, spectacular choreography frames the intimate stories of dancers who struggle for their dreams despite being misunderstood by larger society and their own families.

An American dancer in Vegas looks for his big break; a Korean son seeks his father's approval; a twelve-year-old boy in France confronts his family's racism - all the b-boys' lives collide in Germany where their skills are put to the ultimate test: the "Battle of the Year" finals, with crews from 18 nations vying for the title of World Champion.

Planet B-Boy features electrifying dance performances and astonishing displays of power and grace, showing how a street dance form New York has evolved into an aspiring art form for a new generation around the world.

Catch one of the shows while they are here.
