We were going to be up at Whistler on Jim's birthday but we cancelled since one of the things we wanted to do was the Sea to Sky Gondola and that just wouldn't be a very good idea with Jim's ears the way they are. We'll get there at some point.
It actually works out well because I wouldn't want to miss this event at The Laughing Men. I love this work of sculpture and so many people get such pleasure out of it. Every time we pass by there are people enjoying it and you can't help but smile too.
The artist, Yue Minjun, will be in attendance and there will be various activities like a Laughing Yoga session. It will be his first time in Vancouver and the first visit to his sculpture in situ at English Bay.
From the press release:
"Throughout the day, we'd also like to share the laughter with people near and far. Strike a pose, take a silly photo, tell a joke, let us know what makes you laugh and why it's important to you. Share with friends and family and social media. Tag us and we'll share it too!"
