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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Let’s face it: commuting sucks at the best of times, and commuting in Vancouver during next month’s 2010 Winter Games is going to…well, let’s just say it’ll give us all an opportunity to practice our Pranayama breathing techniques.
The folks at TransLink want to get the word out that you really need to “know before you [...]
Hey culture vultures: want to be there tomorrow night when the former (and much loved) CBC Orchestra is reborn as the National Broadcast Orchestra at a gala benefit at Vancouver’s Chan Centre for the Performing Arts?
I’ve been given a pair of tickets to give away to a TheseBoots reader. Just leave a comment below or tweet [...]
You know that New Year’s resolution–the one about never drinking again? No, John Lee doesn’t know that one either.
The Vancouver-based Lonely Planet author has just released Drinking Vancouver: 100+ Great Bars in the City and Beyond (Touchwood Editions; $19.95). Must have been hell to research.
Lee’s arch writing style is a good match for a book [...]
Someone over at Heritage House Publishing deserves a bonus for releasing John Lee’s Walking Vancouver: 36 strolls to dynamic neighborhoods, hip hangouts, and spectacular waterfronts just as the city-by-the-sea prepares for the Olympics and its worst case of gridlock since the invention of the automobile.
Local boy Lee is an internationally published travel writer hailing from the UK. He [...]
I opened the mail this week to find a gift from Victoria, BC’s famous Butchart Gardens: admission for four to The Magic of Christmas display–including a ride on the Rose Carousel–anytime this Christmas.
So in the spirit of the season, I’m going to pass it along to one lucky TheseBoots reader.
I wish this magical event had [...]
