On Sunday, March 29th, the Storeyum in Gastown hosted the closer to both Vancouver Fashion Week and the JUNOS.
A decent departure from the club scene, attendees rubbed shoulders with the beautiful people, musicians, artists, film-types and fashionistas, all for a good cause – monies going to the David Suzuki Foundation.
With lots of sightings from the likes of Strombo (er.. George Stroumboulopoulos,) David Suzuki and even Kadooh (that’s a freaking cool name.. I wonder if he has a green helmet… oh wait, that’s Kazoo,) attendees had loads of entertainment throughout the night.
Speaking of entertainment, it is reported that at one point in time K-Os tried to hijack the turntables – no word on whether he was successful or not but definitely check out the original release, after the jump.
