Hey, man. If you're on facebook, we already have an informal group.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8336572494

We're scheduled to meet up this Saturday at Metrotown if you're up for it.

BTW, When you say "West Van", I'm usually thinking past the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge or the Lion's Gate Bridge. Oakridge Mall is on Cambie and 41st, isn't it?

We are shooting a dance music video on thursday August 25 in gastown. We need a male who can solve a Rubix cube one handed fairly quickly. We are looking for a male who's hands could pass for the hands of a guy who is 15- mid 20's. The successful applicant would be a "stunt double" for one of the lead actors who is of Asian decent. On Thursday we will need to film 30 seconds of you as you are solving the cube. We will be filming on Thursday and possibly Saturday. Please respond by e-mail with your availablity and a picture of your hand.

Thanks for your time, hope to have you on board!

I appologize if this is the wrong forum to post this message... None of the forums looked obvious...

I got the following message from Rubik's Promotions (Victoria, BC), who got it from Doolin's Irish Pub & Cellar Nightclub in Vancouver, BC:

Hello,



My name is Kayleigh and I am contacting you in hopes to get some information about holding a rubiks cube event at our nightclub. Starting Wednesday, August 1st we are having a weekly 80’s/90’s night and we’d love to have some Vancouver based Rubiks champs come down. I’m not sure how to get a hold of people in the area… we’d even like to hold a competition if there is enough interest. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!

They aren't, unfortunately only the ones that're 19 or older would be able to.

Pubs aren't necessarily nightclubs. And I do know of several local pubs that are kind of sketchy (Paying workers less than minimum wage, etc.).
