Loved reading all your memories about Theatre Under the Stars–thanks to all who shared for a chance to win dinner for two at Adesso Bistro in Vancouver’s West End.
As I mentioned in that earlier post, Adesso is offering a special pre-TUTS dinner menu throughout August.
I used random.org to pick a winner: congratulations Linda DeRuiter–I hope [...]
With a promise that the rain that fell on stage would be the only wet stuff Vancouver saw this summer, Theatre Under the Stars kicked off a six-week run of Singin’ in the Rain at Malkin Bowl last night.
On the theatrical scale, TUTS productions fall smack in the middle between low-budget, high-energy high school musicals [...]
What do you get when you cross a passion for hockey with a summer road-trip and a desire to do good?
If you’re 21-year-old Vancouver hockey blogger Richard Loat, you get Five Hole for Food, a 10-day traveling road hockey game that’s helping to replenish the shelves of Canada’s food banks.
The first ball dropped on June [...]
I’ve just returned from the Travel Blog Exchange conference–aka TBEX10–in New York.
If you are a travel blogger, or a travel writer whose traditional media markets are rapidly drying up, or a travel industry PR person looking to keep your career currency high, then you were there too.
Or you should have been.
Depending on how active you [...]
I knew Bard on the Beach artistic director Christopher Gaze was connected. But I had no idea his contacts went so far up the food chain that he was able to arrange perfect weather for last night’s delayed opening of Much Ado About Nothing.
It was the perfect kick-off to summer: Shakespeare and Vancouver both at their [...]
My SFU pal Steve Ray tipped me to this little bit of travel goodness: you can now use Google to plan your city walking tour in Canada or further afield.
It’s free, fun and ridiculously simple: just plug in a starting address at citytours.googlelabs.com, select your dates and bingo–you’ve got the first draft of your tour [...]
Well that was fun…not.
With a little technical help from my friends (thanks Brad, Josh and Rebecca), I’m back into my boots again.
Someone messaged me to say that being hacked was a form of flattery. Whatever: next time just send chocolate…
Sorry about the delayed announcement friends–my father-in-law’s been very sick–but I wanted to let you know that Ella De Torres of Vancouver won the $75 gift cert draw to Abigail’s Party in Kitsilano last week.
Thanks to all who entered.
I’d be interested to hear more of your Dine Out Vancouver experiences here–any surprises? disappointments? don’t-misses? Please share!
How much does Vancouver love good food?
So much that Tourism Vancouver knew better than to make the city choose between the 2010 Winter Olympics and that other world-class winter sporting event known as Dine Out Vancouver.
When the Games got in the way of Dine Out 2010–the latter usually rolls out in January–participating restaurateurs agreed to [...]
In the so-obvious-why-hasn’t-anyone-thought-of-it-before department: my friendly neighbourhood culdesactivist James Glave just tipped me off to the news that Vancouver’s new Fairmont Pacific Rim is giving guests a greener option when it comes to bottled water.
In support of Metro Vancouver’s recent campaign to promote the city’s excellent tap water (and significantly reduce plastic waste) the hotel is [...]
