Tickets for the upcoming 2010-2011 Vancouver Canucks seasons go on sale today. This is the Canucks 40th anniversary season and with changes in the lineup and a new name for their home rink, things have definitely been shaken up a bit. Whether that’s for the better or not is yet to be seen but according to those I’ve chatted with so far, everyone’s looking forward to seeing what this season will hold.

Tonight the Lotus Awards hosted a networking event to introduce their judges. They are: Michael Borosky from Eleven, Tyson Damman from Big Spaceship, Christian DaBica from Jager Di Paola Kemp and the guys (Craig Allen and Eric Kallman from Widen + Kennedy) that gave us the legendary social media campaign; Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.

This summer I had my first experience at Seasons in QE Park and while forest fire smoke and smog clouded the usually impeccable view of the Vancouver skyline, nothing could have ruined the delicious meal and friendly service.
Seasons has been hosting In The Park Wine Tastings and their final “Summer Series” event takes place September 21st. Anne Kestell of Mark Anthony Wine Merchants will be pouring the following sparkling wines to end the summer in style:
Henkell Trocken Sekt, Col di Salici Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Doc, Lucien Albrecht Creman Brut Rosé, and Lanson Black Label Champagne. Canapés will be specially prepared by Executive Chef Buddy Wolfe to accompany and complement the select wines.
The event is almost sold out with tickets going for $30. Fortunately Seasons has set aside a pair of tickets for one Miss604 reader and a guest. Please leave a comment if you would like to enter to win this wine tasting experience for two.
Follow @SeasonsinQEPark for updates and information about the restaurant and their special events.
Update The winner is Chloe! Have a fantastic time at the event.
Fine print: Since this is a wine tasting, you will need to be 19 years or older to be eligible to win. I will draw one winner (who may bring a guest) on September 15th at 9:00am 12:00pm.
The Vancouver Home & Interior Design Show kicks off today at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

The cooking stage will host chefs from around the country including some local favourites such as Chef Tojo (Tojo’s), Chef Karen Barnaby (The Fish House), Chef Curtis Web (Goldfish Pacific Kitchen), Chef Thomas Hass (Thomas Haas Fine Chocolates & Patisserie) and more.
I also heard that Coleman Heating will be giving away a $650 Stainless Steel BBQ. You can read Keira-Anne’s post about how to enter to win the BBQ either at the show or online.
If you would like to attend the Vancouver Home & Interior Design Show, I have a pair of tickets to give away (regular price is $15 for adults). Please leave a comment on this post to enter and I will draw one winner at 5:00pm today so that they have enough time to get to the show, which ends September 12th.

Linden noted that physical fitness is mental fitness and it’s something he’s very passionate about. “It’s something that I feel is very important for everyone and important for me. So that really fit.” Continue reading this post ⟩⟩
