\nThis is actually a ballet
\nNone of what I\u2019m about to say may be totally accurate, but I think I remember being in Beverly Hills once and seeing Rodeo, that popular road that everyone talks about. I love how it\u2019s not pronounced like the word that means wrangling horses or whatever and instead is RoDEo. Rolls off the tongue nicely. So, I was excited to walk on it (kinda like how I was on a bus once and crossed Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood and was like, damn, Slash probably staggered through this exact intersection at some point during the \u201980s), but then I realized Rodeo is all about shopping and if there\u2019s one thing that puts me in a bad mood, it\u2019s shopping. But I bet this \u201cballet stampede\u201d would lift me right out of that bad mood: Annie\u2019s Rodeo<\/em>, 7:30 pm on May 29 and 2 pm on May 30, Royal Theatre, $30, rmts.bc.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 30
\nWalk and roll

Registration is at 9:30 am; the walk begins at 10. They do tons of other walks as well, so contact Evelyn for info on this and others: 250\u2013370\u20130153.<\/p>\n

\nExplore the mayhem
\nSo, Dora the Explorer is coming to the Royal Theatre. These evening kid shows are a hoot: by about an hour into it, it\u2019s pure chaos, as the kids are grumpy, the adults are wondering if it was really worth it, and the stimulation just DOES NOT STOP. Entertainment or bizarre social experiment? Entertainment, of course. 6:30 pm, $31.50, rmts.bc.ca<\/a> for info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
