Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

V.I.A. EDITOR PROFILE – Christine McAvoy

POSTED June 13, 2010 BY V.I.A.

THIS IS WHAT CHRISTINE’S FRIDGE LOOKS LIKE:

(postcards from my brother [Hulk], Hollerado [bread porn], Robyn McCallum [poison] and Ying Ang [Mt. Fuji], a VIA button and a Kate Beaton comic)

AND HERE’S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER:

Neighborhood:
Fairview aka South Granville

Favourite thing to do in the neighborhood:
Shopping is pretty awesome in South Granville. I stalk Purr weekly, and that is why I remain poor.

What do you do?
Professionally? I exercise my BFA in Photography daily… music, food, interiors, portraits, weddings… You can see my work most often in Vancouver Magazine, and you can see ME most often at indie rock shows in Vancouver.

Favourite Vancouverite?
Joshua Jackson no no… James Doohan

What’s the best thing that has ever happened to you in this city?
Most recently? The insanity that happened during the Olympics. Specifically the post-gold-medal-win. I think that was the best day in Vancouver in my 2 years here.

I’ve also met some of the most amazing people. To come from five years in Toronto with a set university friend base to a new city, barely knowing anyone, I started from scratch and I now have incredible, talented and unique friends that would kill me if I ever went back to Ontario.

What else do you want people to know about you?
I’m a hockey junky. Growing up in small town Ontario I watched my two brothers, my dad and my NHL team almost daily. I yell at the TV like my dad does, cannot stand Bob Cole, and my hockey sweater has #14 and MY last name on it.

Do not be deceived by the sundresses and high heels, I can hold my own in sports discussions.

    Hi Christine
    I wanted to let you know about our monthly radio show-style podcast called FREE MOVEMENT TO MUSIC (FMTM for short). My co-host Matthew and I play lots of eclectic music in-between bouts of inane chatter and we usually feature new stuff from Canada and Vancouver. We’re downloaded from around the world (Uganda and Japan are the furthest!). So please check it out and if you like this slice of Vancouver awesomeness please spread the word!
    When you get to our website press THE SHOW and SUBSCRIBE and the show will download into iTunes.Or just listen to the show on-line.
    Thanks
    Gareth Moses & Matthew Griffiths
