Wednesday evening we headed to the local beer & wine shop with Keira so that she could collect the standard thank you for helping me move brews. They didn’t have a run-of-the-mill selection, mostly imports and micro-brews, however we did get a brief education about cask brewing and ending up picking up a pack of the Best Beer in BC, which just happens to be from Central City Brewing in Surrey.

The new Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre is now open and the public are welcome to stop by and check it out all weekend. [CBC]
April 4th and 5th will be your chance to view this 473,532 square foot meeting and convention space that already has over 180 events booked straight through to 2018.
“…between 10am and 4pm on Saturday April 4 and Sunday April 5 for a behind the scenes look at Vancouver’s newest addition to the waterfront. Be our guest and enjoy live family entertainment from around BC, learn about the bees living on our six-acre grass and wildflower roof, and enter to win a family picnic on the living roof, or an intimate dinner for two in our 6,000 person ballroom overlooking the Burrard Inlet.” [Open House]
I would suggest getting in and checking out this $883 million-dollar space while you can since in September it will be handed over to VANOC as the broadcast media centre for the 2010 Winter Games. I’ll try to swing by today to get some shots so we can compare them to John’s images (above).
Update: I did a quick photowalk with Kris yesterday, here are some captures:
Update: David Drucker went to the open house today, here are some of his photos of the interior.
A few months ago I reviewed Kiss & Makeup, which supplies organic, mineral makeup, as well as other salon products and makeup services. I went back recently to get my makeup done for John’s work Christmas party (that was in March) and I decided that another review just wouldn’t be enough.
I grabbed Keira as a model and headed over to Park Royal so that our guru could share some helpful makeup tips that anyone might find useful – going from a day to night makeup look in 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
This is just something I put together (obviously, since you can hear my camera zooming throughout) but hopefully you find it useful. Here are the credits once more since they scroll by pretty quickly in the video:

I’m a sucker for a scavenger hunt and this one around Vancouver (downtown & Kitsilano) is right up my alley. On Saturday April 11th you can search for 40 decorated eggs (all with crazy hair styles) as a part of the Toni & Guy Crazy Hair Egg Hunt.
Inside the eggs you’ll find chocolates and a gift card for Toni & Guy – some valued up to $100 – that can be used for hair cuts, styles, or product.
Follow Toni & Guy on Twitter for updates (and hopefully some clues) and if you find an egg, take a photo and upload it to Flickr so we can all check it out.
I’ve seen such dazzling photos of our city pop up all over Flickr lately so I’d like to continue my Vancouver HDR Photography tribute series (including a few photos from Surrey and Whistler as well).
Please be sure to click on the photos to learn more about each photographer and browse additional photos and works on each of their Flickr streams.
