Make It Vancouver (Nov 20 to 22nd)

Vanessa Choot November 16, 2009

Make It Vancouver is back again from November 20 to 22nd, this time at The Croatian Cultural Centre.

Our Vancouver show will feature almost 100 of the hottest, hippest and coolest designers in Western Canada! Because Make It is like a mullet; craft show in the front, party in the back we will have a bar and DJ Leanne spinning all weekend. This is the perfect place to shop, socialize and enjoy how darn talented emerging designers really are.

Heineken Green Room Sessions – at Pop Opera (November 10)

Vanessa Choot November 7, 2009

The Heineken Green Room Session is happening next Tuesday, November 10th at Pop Opera (686 West Hastings). Past venues for this event includes Opus, George, Space Lounge (I went to that one!) and Sanafir. This event deserves a mention because it’s my favorite beer…!

DJ Tiesto – in-store performance & autograph signing (Nov. 14)

Vanessa Choot November 6, 2009

DJ Tiesto, the #2 DJ in the world (but arguably the best known) is having an in-store performance and autograph session at HMV Robson before his concert on Saturday November 14 from 5pm to 7pm. Wristband policy in effect on a first come first served basis, and will be handed out at 11:00am that morning. Autographs are not guaranteed due to time restrictions.

I don’t know if this is such a good idea to jam hundreds and hundreds of Tiesto fans into an HMV store. If PNE (where Tiesto is playing later that night) can fit 10,000+ concert goers who paid $100+ for their ticket, a free concert at an in-store venue is going to cause massive chaos at HMV…….This reminds me of when Deadmau5 played a free concert at the Santa Monica Apple Store and caused such an overwhelming response that the police had to shut down his show.

Shark Truth – Launch Event (Thursday November 19)

Vanessa Choot November 3, 2009

Did you know that more people die from vending machines than shark attacks? Although sharks have been portrayed by media as ruthless killers, they are a misunderstood animal and rarely attack or even kill. On average, only 5 people die worldwide from shark attacks each year. In 2007, only a single person died from a shark attack. Meanwhile, up to 80 million sharks are killed each year for shark fin soup…
.
Come find out what Shark Truth has in mind to help save the sharks as you join them at their launch event at Wild Rice (117 West Pender Street) on November 19th, 8pm to 10pm, for some fundraising, facts and fun.
