The iconic sign is on display in the Revolution Gallery of the Museum on Chestnut Street in Kits Point. We contracted with Pressed Metal Products on Alexander Street to make the pin. BOB is giving it to our partners and sponsors as a "thank you" for caring and acting to revitalize the heritage areas of Vancouver in a way that includes the people and businesses that are here. In its day The Smilin' Buddha Cabaret was the place to hear some amazing bands like DOA.

Dang! But I went to lots of punk rock shows at the time, and it seems like minors had the best chance of getting in if they were "in the band." It's great to see so much interest in the place. I heard Bev Davies talking about it on CBC radio a while ago. I was here in Vancouver at that time – but just a bit too young to sneak in… Dang!
