That’s right. It’s like that.
The inaugural Giller Light Bash Vancouver 2011 – in support of Frontier College – just became even more amazing as both Hal Wake and Dina Del Bucchia have agreed to host the event on November 8th at W2.
Besides the charmingness of our two fabulous hosts the Giller Vancouver event will feature a live broadcast of the Giller Awards ceremony from Toronto, amazing food, prizes, music and an array of festive delights too numerous to list here.
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by clicking the button on the top right of this page.
A big thanks to Hal and Dina for agreeing to do this. Could not think of a better team to lead us through the night.
