Introducing Voracious V and Madame Mae!!!
The birds would like to introduce two more of our performers for our fundraiser tomorrow night! The two sexy ladies currently perform extensively in Vancouver BC to the delight of many! Vorocious V will be feeling feathery in a winged burlesque performance sure to fly! Madame Mae will also exude a bird inspired sensual sensation for all bird and bike lovers! We want to extend a big thank you to both of the women! Come to The Anza Club tomorrow, Jan 28th, to see them! They will be on at 10pm sharp!
Love, The Birds.

The Winter Bird Bath Fundraiser Event-The Music Makers and Booty Shakers!
Hello and greetings from The Birds. As Hailey posted earlier, we are in prime party planning time and things are heatin up. Good times and flying ideas swirling round our warm bodies as we bike round the wintery city that is Vancouver. We are getting really excited to share our ideas and project some of our energy out to the community at our upcoming Fundraiser for the Birds, here on Jan 28th, 2011 at The Anza Club!
Here's a little run down of what the night will hold, all it needs is for you to come down with some support, some dancin legs, and maybe a thirsty belly?
Doors at 8pm and The Geese will start off the night at 9 sharp! They will grace the stage with a big voice and a big pair of wings until our two creative and sexay "'Bird'-Lesque" performers shimmy across the stage at 10pm.
Not really like our neighboring province, The Albertans, hailing from Brooklyn, NYC, will knock your socks off your feet, your drink out of your hand, the lint out of your pockets, and the sleep out of your eyeballs. After will be dance dance time good times with some of our good friends playin some songs to make you smile, talk, and possibly awkwardly move your hips!
We will have some merch with our brilliant Birds on Bikes design printed on the shiz, designed by our good friend Skyler Punnett. We also will have some bikey raffle prizes from our buds down at the Bike Doctor and Jett Grrl for all the bodies that come on down!
Good times will be had and we would love to meet and share some time and space with you all,..so come down!
Love from The Birds,
Lauren aka Elkmother.

WINTER BIRD BATH SHAKEDOWN!!!!
Wahooo! January 28th! We are counting down the days. The date is fast approaching. Check out the knarly poster by Lauren...(ya you read right.. knarly..its the hip new adjective, Hailey told me so)
This whole party planning thing has been a steep learning curve. With organizing the four of us, trying to wrap our heads around all the things one needs to consider when putting on an event this size. Its a little more intense then your average potluck preparation. Venue? Bar? Cover? Bands? DJs? We jumped feet first in, thinking.."oh ya lets just throw a fundraiser party! no problem. get some bands, have some beer, invite our friends, good times right? no big deal". I gotta say, it has been a little overwhelming at times. But what I have found so inspiring, has been the amazing support and talent we have found, right under our noses, in our circle of friends, and family and colleagues. Its humbling when you just start putting it out there..'hey who knows someone who can dj' or 'does anyone know of a designer? a burlesque dancer? a...?' and the ultimate 'would you be willing to give us a hand?'. And over and over we get the answer back of YES! Amazing.
The thing that is exciting about this party, but what also, in my mind, sets the stakes a little higher is that we want to get the dialogue started. To raise some funds, yes, but also to start connecting with our community here at home, about this project we are embarking on. To start reaching out, and to begin the conversations and knowledge shares about what our community, our friends, and our neighbours are excited about right now. I see the Birds on Bikes project as a connecting of dots down the coast; discovering and passing along the thread that connects us. But where does it begin? What does it look like at the source?
I think what I am trying to say is that I hope you can make it on the 28th. Bring your dancing shoes, but also bring your inspirations. Turn to your neighbour in the beer line, or on the dance floor, and ask them what they are up to, where they come from and what they are inspired by.
Lets steep in the collective awesomeness of our talents and passions.
And lets just wear some feathers in our hair and shake away the January blues....
more info on the line up to come. check back soon!
