I can’t rave enough about the Coldplay concert at Rogers Arena.
Chris Martin, the band’s chemistry, and energy was unbelievable.
Here’s a clip of the Mylo Xyloto concert finale:
English Bay: Celebration of Light Fireworks
August 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Spain put on a great show last night at English Bay. I’m glad we went early because there was an awesome airplane exhibition AND by 8pm it was just crazy busy at the beach.
I didn’t bring my dslr last night so I did not even bother to take photos of the fireworks. I did find this post that had a timelapse of the fireworks, which you can see here.
On The Street: I’m Sorry Vancouver
June 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There’s been an outpouring of support for the City of Vancouver after the riot. “VANLOVER” stickers appeared on shop windows almost overnight in Downtown and some boarded-up windows contain messages of support. Along the bus stop on Granville and West Georgia, people are hanging square-cut cloths with positive messages.
YVR Twestival

Twitter + Festival = Twestival.
Vancouver joined several cities in celebrating Twestival last March 24. The goal of this global social media fundraising movement is to raise money for a local non-profit of the participating city’s choice. Here, the one-night event was held at the Vancouver Lookout with proceeds going to Beauty Night - an organization that commits itself to improving the lives of impoverished women and youth.
YVR Twestival raised over $8,000 at the end of the night through ticket sales, a silent auction, and donations. Well done everyone!
For lack of a better term… it truly was a beautiful night.
