Just as many are conceding to the fact that Vancouver has yet again become a “no fun city” numerous events filled with family fun are popping on my radar and this is another — and it’s for a great cause to boot. Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile on Flickr Chip’s really not dead yet, […]

I was first introduced to The Submarines last year when their label, Nettwerk, contacted me, asking if I’d like to give away tickets to their show in Vancouver. Since then I’ve been a fan (they remind me of my love of husband/wife duos ie. Mates of State) and we have followed their progress online. They’ll […]

They’re organized, the staff is accessible, and getting full media access including […]

This weekend a very special event is taking place in the downtown Eastside (our city’s oldest neighbourhood) and everyone is welcome to join in person or online. Start Time: Saturday, February […]

I’m a big fan of anniversaries and it may have been a little-known fact that my Best of 604 Awards were originally started because I wanted to celebrate my 5th blogaversary with others, in style, while supporting a cause. Tonight, Toni & Guy, the world-famous hair salon, is having a special bash of its own […]

A few weeks ago I hopped on board the Twestival organization team and decided to figure out Vancouver’s event. Twestival is a high profile event for Charity:Water that will be taking place in over 180 cities o February 12, 2009.
