It’s official! This is going to be history in the making as Vancouver is blessed to get the big worldwide push with the entire Emerica team in full effect (Andrew Reynolds, Braydon, Leo Romero, Brian Herman, Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long, Figgy, Heath Kirtchart, Marquis Preston, Jerry Hsu and our Canadian crew). Mark this date down as it’s no time to be taking a vacay. More to come as far as starting points and time.
Probably one of the coolest thing about the Juno’s coming to town, is the Juno Cup, pitting former NHL’ers vs Canadian musicians…

Seriously, look at the NHL’ers lineup… it’s half goons… my money’s on Gino and Probert going to town on anyone from Great Big Sea and Hot Hot Heat… although watch out for Sarah McLachlan looking to take out Russ Courtnal at the knees for being a doof when he was a Canuck…
It’s gonna be awesome!!!!!
A few weeks ago, I went and checked out the heavily used Trout Lake Community Center.

For some reason I’m a real sucker for “clever” and/or acronym-based business names. Like coffee shops called “Inspiring Grounds” or that reference coffee in some other clever way, and companies like SPUD.ca (Small Potatoes Urban Delivery) and PODS.com (Portable On Demand Storage). Give em to me as cheesy as you possibly can, please. If you’ve got any other favorite local acronym’d out business names, please post them in the comments of this post.
If this won’t get you to the Blim Community Market this Sunday, nothing will…
I think last time they had a disappointing turnout so I’m stoked to hear (via the PK Vancouver Facebook page) that Cause+Affect have sold out their event for tonight!
Did you go to the PNE this year and step into that amazing tent that housed the mushroom display? This amazing old dude with a backpack (which I can only assume was filled with mushrooms and mushroom searching gear) manned it and was super nice and willing to answer any questions about mushrooms, maybe hoping that he’d catch some new mushroomers. The dude ruled. I thought of him when I got word that next week at the Vancity theatre an interesting looking flick called KNOW YOUR MUSHROOMS is playing…
Though the oldest and largest living organisms recorded on Earth are both fungi, the world of mushrooms and their integral relationship with the planet’s health have only recently been appreciated. And their use by a new, maverick breed of scientists and thinkers has proven vital in the cleansing of sites despoiled by toxins and as a “clean” pesticide, among many other environmentally friendly applications.
Inspired by a chance conversation with fellow mushroom buff Jim Jarmusch, Mann set off to the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado, where he encountered the unique sub-sub-subculture surrounding fungi that includes …READ THE REST OF THIS ENTRY>>>
This Saturday and Sunday, Portobello West Market is having their spring market.
Full of local designers and their wares, the market is located in one of the finest buildings in the city (Rocky Mountaineer Station). Seriously, the building is worth the visit, even without the market.
