A Vancouver Bike Ride, c. 1974
It’s wonderful how one can only catch glimpses of the city skyline and infrastructure in a pre-Expo Vancouver yet still instantly recognize landmarks such as the Iron Workers Bridge or Stanley Park, and even roads and intersections like that of Brooksbank and Main at Park and Tilford.
A slowed down version can be found here.
I really regret not posting about this sooner, but THE BOMBITTY OF ERRORS has THREE shows left and these boys have been KILLING IT.
HIP HOP + SHAKESPEARE = How can you go wrong?? Not to mention, they’ve been getting stellar reviews here, here, here, here, here, (by UBC’s own Jerry Wasserman!) AND here (Yeah, Colin Thomas, yeah!)
I’m so grateful to be a part of a show that is just so much fun, so creative, and so high energy. This show deserves a sell out crowd each night (and they’ve been getting it the last couple of nights!) so get your butts in those seats, go grab a drink at the bar, and get ready to laugh your ass off.

UBC LIPDUB
Rewatching this one year later… it still drops my jaw. Andy Cohen, you are a brilliant man.
Green Couch Sessions filmed Humans doing “Avec Mes Mecs” with a carnival gypsy orchestra and all the fun of this song and the awesomeness of this video is a great way to start off the week.
Vancouver is rarely this cool
holy shit.

And here are three fine young Vancouver-based bands to whom I had the mighty pleasure of rocking out this past Saturday night at The Biltmore. Do yourself a favour and take a gander.
