4. Vancouver Culture Crawl

According to the WestEnder site, at least one stop on The Eastside Culture Crawl has a comics connection:

At 713 E. Pender, just a few blocks from Paneficio Studios, sits a funky little house called Alley Gallery, the colourful hideaway and studio of Gerry "Mad Dog" Dallman, an artist whose exhibit could best be described as A Midsummer Night's Dream meets sadomasochistic nightmare. Culture crawlers will be given a comic book before entering the gallery, minutes before finding themselves in the comic characters' territory upon walking through the Alley Gallery's doors. Dallman has fashioned a mind-bending concoction of taxidermists' models, reworked purse buckles, leather, rubber, mannequins and detritus from movie sets, and morphed them into sinister, fairytale-like shapes.

"I like fantasy," says Dallman, "and I like to take fantasy one step further."
