Dancing is poetry in motion, though strapping the Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson to a space shuttle has more dramatic results. Get couplets revving with today’s Groupon to Barcelona Ultra Lounge. Choose from two hip-shaking options:

  • For $30, you get a VIP night for two, including cover charge, three drinks each, and coat check for each person (an $87.50 value).
  • For $189, you get a VIP birthday party for 10 (a $420 value)

Voted 2010 Vancouver Nightlife Nightclub of the Year, Barcelona hosts revellers Wednesdays through Saturdays in an intimate setting reminiscent of the boutique clubs of London, Miami, New York, and Las Vegas. Surprise a date, a pal, or a newly reunited twin with the VIP night for two, which finds a cozy twosome sailing through the cover charge and coat check, sipping three highball drinks apiece, and hanging nonchalantly in the VIP lounge. For an event that can hold five times more human feet, buyers can opt for the VIP birthday party for ten carefully selected jubilation maximizers. All ten receive entry to the club and complimentary coat check, after which they can settle in at a VIP lounge table equipped with a bottle of champagne to match the bubbliness of the birthday boy, girl, or extremely convincing humanoid. Ten shooters for the group keep spirits high and move-busting inhibitions low, as will Barcelona’s award-winning DJs. An acoustically enchanting new sound system sends partiers soaring on a rhythmic trampoline of house music, captured inside the club’s rocking confines by scientific soundproofing.

Today’s Groupon: for $19, you get a two-hour canoe, double kayak, pedal boat, or rowboat rental for two people from Deer Lake Boat Rentals in Burnaby (a $38.08 value, HST included).

Deer Lake Boat Rentals enables adventurers to get an eye-full of wildlife without having to leave the city on the calm waters of Deer Lake. Rentals place individuals, two adults, or an adult and child, at the helm of a variety of boats ($17 value/hour) requiring varied levels of nautical knowledge. While basic instruction is provided, novices float freely in tip-resistant pedal and rowboats; however, experience is strongly recommended for tandem canoes. For boater safety and proper synchronized swimming rehearsal, all participants must wear provided lifejackets use rental paddles and oars.

During aquatic excursions, wandering boaters may paddle by a summer VSO concert or ask for directions from local blue herons, turtles, and beavers. Oar oscillators also boat under the watchful eyes of a shore-bound lifeguard.

Pedal boats and canoes can hold a third passenger under 10 years old.

http://eventcomplete.com/upcoming-events/capturing-true-emotion-photography-workshops.html

Appreciate the figurative risks and transcendent joys of photographic creativity with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a four-hour digital-photography workshop (a $250 value) and a two-hour photo safari (a $200 value) from Capturing True Emotion (a $450 total value). The Capturing True Emotion workshop takes place at The Fairmont Waterfront Hotel. Workshops last from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and check-in starts at 8 a.m. Workshops are held on the following days: Friday, May 13; Saturday, May 14; Monday, June 20; Tuesday, June 21; Thursday, July 14; and Friday, July 15.

Capturing True Emotion workshops are driven by the dynamic duo of Val Westover, a dedicated author and portrait photographer, and Stephanie Adriana, an author and award-winning fine-art photographer. By fusing their narrative, tech-savvy minds together into one oversized head, the two provide comprehensive guidance on both camera operation and creative visualization, giving participants complete control over all of their camera settings.

During the four hours spent in the company of other pupating shutterbugs, students learn how to control depth of field by adjusting the aperture, strategies for lighting an artful yeti sighting, how to compose a family portrait so that there’s not always a burning Zeppelin in the background, how to use alternative angles to avoid red-eyes, and more.

All photo safaris (a $200 value) take place from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. after the morning workshop on the dates listed above and allow students to put their shutter-speed savvy to good use under the tutelage of their former instructors.

With today’s Groupon: for $149, you get a game of golf for two, 100 practice balls, plus $15 to Palmer’s Gallery Bar & Grill at Whistler Golf Club in Whistler (up to a $299 value, including HST). This Groupon is not valid for holiday weekend games.

The first Canadian course designed by golfer Arnold Palmer, Whistler Golf Club’s 6,722 yards present obstacles to novice and experienced golfers alike at the foot of Mount Currie. Players smash moon miniatures down the cedar- and fir-lined fairways of an 18-hole, par 71 course, which retorts with meandering streams, nine lakes, and numerous white sand bunkers. Players begin from one of four potential tee-off spots to the clubhouse’s sounds of classic rock and to the dulcet growls of black-bear commentators. The straight fairway of Cedar Grove calls for steadfast aim, and lack of hovercraft equalizes skirmishes with Singing Cedars’ course-crossing lake. Players engage in new-age ball ballet with dual water and sand hazards of The Gallery. Mount Currie gazes down respectfully at drive disciples from the backdrop of Last Run.

Palmer’s Gallery Bar & Grill sates green-trumping appetites with a full menu and outdoor seating on the cedar-shadowed brick patio. Hungered club hefters catch coconut-crusted prawns with pineapple chutney sauce ($12), and heartier fare struts its stuff on a plate of tartar-armed fish ‘n’ chips dipped in Stanley Park Amber Ale ($17) or of chicken cordon bleu with prosciutto and melted gruyere ($20). Guests retire to the hardwood bar for a Whistler Brewing feature draft ($5.50) or appease golfing gods with a lemonade-tea and Skyy vodka salute in a Hard Arnie double ($8).

Whistler Golf Club’s rates fluctuate throughout the time of day and seasons, with additional discounts for residents of British Columbia; plan ahead to make sure you’re redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.
