The History Boys at The Arts Club

October 6th, 2008 @ 3:20pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

After catching The History Boys last week at The Arts Club Granville Island Stage, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Jon from Beyond Robson who wrote, “the play is easily the most intellectually engaging thing I’ve seen on a Vancouver stage in years, and is almost flawlessly delivered by director Dean Paul Gibson and his [...]

Monday Morning Link Fest: Getting Down to Business

October 6th, 2008 @ 10:21am by Rebecca Bollwitt

Mondays and Tuesdays are my big writing days where I prepare my contributions for E!Online as well as HockeyStars. A big part of my new ventures into the realm of self-employment is freelance blog writing.

Change of Seasons in Stanley Park

October 6th, 2008 @ 7:49am by Rebecca Bollwitt

Yesterday our morning workout turned into a 2 hour power-walk in and around Stanley Park. I packed a camera with me since it had been a while since I was able to check back on the restoration progress in the park and more specifically, I wanted to see how the Merilees Trail looked now [see [...]

Thanks to Kevin from FoodVancouver, I attended the Gibson’s Finest Iron Bar Competition at Players Chophouse yesterday afternoon. I admit, I’m not a big whisky drinker but I knew I couldn’t pass up this event (especially since I had such a good time at the Grey Goose Arbiter of Cool earlier this summer). After a [...]

Every year hundreds of thousands of locals and guests from around the world enjoy the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Warner Bros Holiday Release Preview

October 2nd, 2008 @ 12:00pm by Rebecca Bollwitt

Last night we headed to an event hosted by Warner Bros to celebrate their upcoming releases. With Christmas trees laced with DVDs it was pretty clear the objective was to give us all some stocking stuffer ideas, and I admit that it worked.

Vancouver Centre All Candidates

October 1st, 2008 @ 11:36am by Rebecca Bollwitt

Although I don’t often discuss political issues on my site, being a citizen of Vancouver I am fully aware that on November 15th we will have a civic election and even sooner than that on October 14th, we have a federal election. I always try to stay informed, keep up with the issues, and find [...]
