With Glowing Hearts: the doc, the demo, the digerati!

August 31, 2010

Can Twitter change the world? Can YouTube save a soul? Is there, ultimately, any real point to what we do online, or is it just (as the critics claim) a safe little sandbox where we play at building castles that are stomped flat and then forgotten? A new Canadian documentary aims to answer that question […]

Social Media Scholarships at raincoaster media

July 13, 2010

I’ve been living and working on the Downtown Eastside, Vancouver’s inner city, for more than a decade now, and when you live here that long it’s impossible not to want to give back to the community in a meaningful way. Since I’m not really in a position to give jobs, food, or shelter (except to […]

Announcing the Real Vancouver Writers’ Series Lineup for Tonight

February 10, 2010

0

Yes, this is cross-posted from the Shebeen Club, but you need to read it both places so my blogs don’t feel all neglected-like. The Shebeen Club is a media sponsor of the Real Vancouver Writers’ Series, so we’re spreading the word as widely as we can. And yes, that’s the Royal We. Tonight W2 comes […]

Attention Alcoholic Fashionistas! You’ll want to check out this super-affordable, super-rad sale downtown at W2’s boho digs on Hastings, across from the Woodwards building.

Stole this off Facebook, where it was passed to me by my old friend Darryl Hopkins, one of the most talented artists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting (and meeting and working with Darryl are true pleasures, trust me, and not just because he’s good-looking). The Deets: On Saturday January 30th we are […]
