June 3, 2010 - GM Place, Vancouver
Unfortunately Breaking Benjamin did not make the concert.  Small signs announced their absence at the entrance doors and a refund was available if you just turned in your tickets without entering the venue.  A disappointment to be sure, but I don’t know how many people bought tickets just to [...]

WELCOME !
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games have truly arrived.  The Olympic Torch travelled into downtown Vancouver at 06:20 this Friday morning and brought with it the final excitement of the opening day.  Over the last few days, the number of celebrities has risen on the torch relay as organizers pick-up the pace raise the anticipation [...]

It’s here !
The official opening day for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.  The Olympic Torch has been circling the Vancouver area for the last five days.  Slowly moving towards the center of Vancouver City proper and the Opening Ceremonies on Friday evening.  It’s hard to describe the mixture of feelings which are apparent in the [...]

Vancouver is, in my opinion, one of the most blessed cities in the world when it comes to food.  I know that statement may cause arguments to begin with our venerable visitors, but I do stick by my belief that Vancouver has something for everyone and from everyone as well.  Our international roots have given [...]

I had the opportunity to spend a short time at the show on Thursday evening. The crowds were light, but I didn’t get a chance to wander the whole show. On Saturday I was back for the ‘full meal deal’.
As expected the crowd was much heavier, but parking was a breeze and the shuttles were [...]

For all of our visitors looking to find out what to wear, drive or rent during the trip to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics.

Cypress Mountain have closed alpine skiing to the public [...]

Vancouver in the winter is a mixed bag of weather.  Today, November 11th, it rained, hailed, had small clearings in the clouds and was a brisk 6 degrees Celcius.  I suppose you can rely on the Vancouver truism that weather is
dependant on where you are at the moment.  If you don’t like it you can [...]

I suppose I should start to get excited about the coming Olympics in Vancouver.  It seems a little surealistic hosting the Olympics here, since it’s my home town.  I suppose that most people who live in an Olympic town feel the same way at some time.  After all, this is my home.  In Vancouver there [...]
