I did a post about a month ago detailing all the cool things going on in Vancouver on one weekend which included the Cultural Olympiad, a charity event, and a social media conference along with an artsy light festival in Yaletown.
Need further proof that Vancouver is fun (even in the rain)? How about Junofest?

Further Proof We’re Fun
Saturday, March 28th, 2009Who Says Vancouver is No Fun?
Thursday, February 19th, 2009There are some people out there claim that Vancouver is “No Fun City”. I’m not really sure who these people are but I get the distinct impression they aren’t really tied into the city and what’s going on. Just take a look at the Georgia Straight any week to see all sorts of concerts, art [...]
Redbull Kitsilano Soapbox Derby
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008The Kitsilano Soapbox Derby gets underway this year on Sunday September 7th at 1pm with pits open at 11am. The race runs from Vine to Burrard and features the best of the best in their greenest of gravity machines. Pictured here is our own Premiere Gordon Campbell who did not require a license to [...]
Yay! Free Wireless
Sunday, August 17th, 2008I’m a punctual person. If I’m not 5 minutes early I tend to be over 30 minutes early to any appointment. This time can be spent very productively in quiet thought, prepping a home for a showing, or getting a coffee. Usually getting a coffee.
For the past few days I’ve been spending a lot of [...]
Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Plays Deer Lake Park
Friday, July 11th, 2008Looking for something fun and free this weekend? I know I am. And that’s why I’ll be heading out to Deer Lake Park in Burnaby this Sunday for a free concert performed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The al fresco (that means outdoors) show starts at 7:30pm and is a great way to wrap up [...]
Build it and they will come
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008One of the bigger complaints of this city is the lack of entertainment. This city has even been tagged as “No Fun City” by some. Well it looks like that is all changing.
In the past major concerts have bypassed Vancouver with Seattle being the closest city that many had to travel to to [...]
Bard on the Beach 2008
Thursday, April 24th, 2008If you have never been to Bard on the Breach then you are missing out on one of the Summer’s best attractions in the city. Imagine kicking back on a mild summer evening catching a bit of Shakespeare under a big top like tent. When you walk out you aren’t stepping into the gritty city [...]
A Walk through Gastown
Monday, April 14th, 2008Gastown. A neighbourhood so great they’ve even got their own website. There are only three heritage zoned areas in all of Vancouver, those being Yaletown, Chinatown, and the topic for this post, Gastown. And like the other two, the branding of the neighbourhood is so powerful that developers are keen to try to extend the [...]
What a Week
Saturday, April 5th, 2008Talk about a rollercoaster of a week. You know, one way to see if I am busy or being absolutely run off my feet is to see the number of blog posts that are being done. In the past week I’ve had time for one. One lonely post. That was for [...]
Everybody’s Irish
Monday, March 17th, 2008What with the Celtic Fest wrapped up and the St. Patrick’s Day parade in the bag… Happy Monday! Keep the spirit alive and down a pint of something green. Turn on your speakers for this one. It’s Qristina and Quinn Bachand performing March 12th at the Commodore for the previously mentioned Celtic Fest:
