You are!\u00a0<\/strong>From its humble beginnings Interesting Vancouver has revealed a desire within British Columbians to uncover the\u00a0unexpected of our region and fellow citizens. It has galvanised the optimists and activists who get on with doing things rather than sitting around wishing\u00a0for things.\u00a0Interesting Vancouver gatherings are casual and relaxed, with a low cost structure ensuring affordability. The 2014 event is part of the cultural\u00a0programming at SFU Woodward\u2019s Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema on Nov 7th. The evening will kick off with a gathering of audience and speakers, igniting\u00a0conversational sparks. Over the evening, eight carefully curated speakers from Metro Vancouver\u2019s diverse community will speak for 10 minutes about\u00a0something they care deeply about\u2014followed by an engaging dialogue with the audience. The link is curiosity.\u00a0Why? Because we are surrounded by\u00a0interesting things we have yet to discover. By stepping outside our everyday routines and boundaries and interacting with people from different\u00a0disciplines, we are able to approach these subjects with fresh eyes and learn.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Event, November 7, co-presented by SFU Woodward&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join us for the 7th annual event where the only theme is interestingess itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A seven foot tall drag queen obsessed with bingo<br \/>\nAn indigenous multidisciplinary artist working to reverse the decline of Squamish language speakers<br \/>\nA soft-spoken senior with a passion for photographing punk rock shows<br \/>\nA 14 year old national champion YoYo-er<br \/>\nA speech writer and communications specialist who is a closet cartoonist<br \/>\nA composer who heals people through improvised music as they lay under his piano<br \/>\nA\u00a0mechanical engineer turned clown who has the balls to live a professional life of PLAY!<br \/>\nA genderqueer youth who dabbles; from roller derby to making ukuleles to transforming t-shirts<br \/>\nCanada\u2019s first Sikh commanding officer who passionately believes in the ripple effect<br \/>\nAn\u00a0engineer who went from making microscopic brain implants to two story tall racing robots<br \/>\nA popular film and TV actress who credits Vipassana meditation for saving her life<br \/>\nA paramedic\/magician\/artist who will change your life before you leave the room<br \/>\nMaybe you?
