Saturday, June 24th in Vancouver was one of the busiest nights for live music in a long while. Posters and advertisements popped up all around with this day and various names of artists taking the stage in the city. One of those events was the last show of Hotel Mira’s headlining tour. Excitement was felt everywhere at the acknowledgement that this was also a home town show for them. Even at 7:45PM there was still a line going out the door of the Hollywood Theatre for people to enter and find their place for the rest of the night.

Throughout their tour, Hotel Mira invited different performers to act as a host for the night and perform a Drag Show. On this particular day, they had performer Shanda Leer (no photograph available) take the stage. Right before their set, Shanda Leer did a quick rendition of a Celine Dion song, getting right into it all, and pointing the microphone into the crowd to get them amped up in the minutes before Hotel Mira would take over the stage.

The bowl of the venue quickly filled out by the end of Shanda Leer’s performance. There was an eagerness to see Hotel Mira that could be felt throughout. Walking through the crowd as they started up, was similar to swimming through people and weaving through their dancing. On well-known tracks over the years, there was excited and enthusiastic singing along, and even with the brand new tracks, there was an inventiveness that every artist hopes to have for newer work.
