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.

ANOTHER DOG IN A SWEATER

December 3, 2009

I put a CALL out for you to send in a photo of your dog wearing a sweater a few weeks back… and you didn’t send me any. I did, however, meet a nice bulldog named Lily the other day at a store in Gastown that you may be familiar with (Nouvelle Nouvelle) and she reassured me that there are plenty of dogs wearing sweaters around the city, but that I will have to track them down and shoot photos of them myself… which I plan to do.

CBC OPEN HOUSE

December 3, 2009

Tomorrow from 9AM til 9PM, the new CBC building downtown will be open for the public to take a look during their first ever OPEN HOUSE benefiting BC food banks. If seeing the inside of the awesomeness simply isn’t enough then perhaps a free Said the Whale show might entice you? All the info is HERE, Christine Mcavoy’s going to be shooting some snaps for us there.

In celebration of this occasion, I wanted to share a couple of photos I shot there last week when I was in to talk on the Early Edition with Ian Hanomansing. Pictured below is a wall of portraits of some of the TV and radio personalities that work for CBC here in Vancouver. You might notice that all but one of them is looking into the camera…

DISCORDER MAGAZINE’S TOP 50 VANCOUVER BANDS OF THE DECADE

December 2, 2009
newpornographers-365x418

A couple of weeks back I was invited to be on a jury for Discorder Magazine‘s BEST OF THE DECADE. Each of the 33 people on the jury were instructed to list their top ten Vancouver acts of the last ten years, then those results were tallied up and a master list was made. I’m happy to report that the act I listed as my all-time favourite, The New Pornographers, struck a chord (I swear I wasn’t trying to come up with a music pun there) with the rest of the jury and have been awarded first place. Ruling.

Also, my current favourite Vancouver act, Dan Mangan, wound up 29th on the list! I was asked to write a little something about him (minus music puns), which you can read HERE.

And Another

December 2, 2009

It’s not as impressive as “Quite Possibly The Most Awesome Birdhouse In The City“, but this is a pretty awesome birdhouse located off Main (like THIS one). This might be a dumb question but where do robins go in the winter? Do they fly south or do they hole up in houses like this?

IN CASE YOU WORK AT HOME AND/OR YOU ARE IN YOUR PAJAMAS AS YOU READ THIS

December 2, 2009

For everybody who doesn’t leave the house before 10AM, just wanted to share this photo I snapped this morning to let you know that December has officially arrived!

That’s not heavy pixelation, that’s a heavy Mount Pleasant frost, my friend.
