Glee for Yu and Yu for Glee?

    About Me

    Let's face it: nobody knows who Vancouver blogger "Lorraine Murphy" is. My more famous alter ego, "raincoaster," is the one who writes this column while I am asleep.

    • The Shebeen Club

      The Shebeen ClubThe Shebeen Club is a group for Vangroover’s practicing Literati. Practice makes perfect, right?

      It is NOT: a hand-holding support group featuring aromatherapy-enhanced, tearful rounds of “Kumbyah,” an open mic night (I’ve suffered at the hands of too many bad live performances), a boring old lecture series, or a critique group.
