Carly Pope (pictured above), a well known Vancouver actor (who was in the hilarious Young People F**king) was one of the victims of yesterdays bizarre carjacking in Downtown Vancouver. She was home for the holidays visiting family along with her brother Kris Pope.
Have you guys got your NYE plans sorted out yet? If not might I suggest that you get started as tickets are selling fast for all the top events. Of course we all know that New Years eve is just another excuse to party, and gouge consumers with exorbitant ticket prices (don't even get me started on the watered down booze served up at most places) for what could be described as a glorified Friday or Saturday in Vancity night at 7 or 8 times the price. Regardless, events sell out and we urge you if you don't have your plans set yet, then do so now as prices continue to climb as events approach selling out. Or be like me and attend a house party.
Here is a list of the top 5 events going on this year, courtesy of Clubzone.com. See the rest of the list here.
After months of anticipation and predictions from the sportscasters the roster for Team Canada was unveiled today. Here are the 23 players selected to represent our fine country in Vancouver:
#1 Megan Fox
Last night we deliberated into the early morning hours on who should make the inaugural Vancity Buzz sexiest women list. After careful analysis and great debate over twitter (by the way many thanks to our followers that chimed in) the sexiest women of 2009 is none other then uber "bitch" Megan Fox.
Further, reiterating our selection the readers of FHM have selected Megan Fox as the sexiest woman of 2009, second year in a row she has had that honour. The selection of Megan should come as no surprise to the regular readers of our blog. Check out the rest of the list we compiled, there are some hidden gems in there.
The new benches at Pigeon Park (pictured above) feature some awesome Haida (correct me if I'm wrong here) art carvings. I know what many are thinking but it's Vancouver after all, so we always default to native art, it is a major part of the regions history. Furthermore, the newly renovated park is less inviting to open drug use we've become accustomed to over the years.
Mikael Samuelsson was left off the roster of Team Sweden's Olympic Ice Hockey team and was pissed off to say the least. "I pretty much have one comment and maybe I'll regret it. But they can go fuck themselves," said Samuelsson.
Expect to see a lot more these building wraps in the coming weeks as Vancouver Olympicizes it's downtown core before it greets the world in February. Check out our previous post on The Bay building wrap, here.
I promise it won't kill you.
Salvation Army Kettle
Union Gospel
Vancouver Food Bank
Festival of Trees
Christmas Tree Recycling
The city of Vancouver recently finished the upgrades to Pigeon Park (located in the Downtown Eastside for those of you out of the loop). Many believed that the park upgrades would not be complete until after the Olympics, as means to keep the "undesirable" activity at bay when the world comes to visit.
It's Christmas day and you're hungry, sure you can have left overs from last nights dinner but you would rather go out and eat, only to find most places aren't open! Well might I suggest you head on over to White Spot for lunch as net proceeds from sales go to charity. Further we have two $25 gift certificates from White Spot to giveaway! Just retweet this link (http://bit.ly/8zMsLq) and comment on this post to enter. We'll draw the winners on Monday.
The above image is what my ideal Vancouver would look like in 2050 and you too can shape your own skyline at www.shapevancouver.com. That image above would add about 50,000 more residents to a downtown core that is already 100,000 strong. That population would probably rival some of the world's most densely populated regions. As it stands right now the West End is the most densely populated neighbourhood in North America.
City of Vancouver Paints Over Beatty Street Graffiti (Mural)
Have you seen the Beatty Street mural between Dunsmuir and Thurlow, the one with the Peanuts gang and Flintstones, amongst other wonderful works of art? Well if you haven't you are now out of luck as the City of Vancouver has painted over it. Now the explanation coming from the city is of course a lie because clearly this piece of art/graffiti/mural was removed due to its proximity to one of the live venue sites during the 2010 Olympics. Coincidence? Now you all know that I'm pro Olympics, however this irks me just a little.
Here is the information from News 1130, see the bull crap explanation by David McLellan.
With little more than a year in the industry, Brenda Treviño has managed to pull together a remarkably diverse portfolio. Originally from Monterey, Mexico, the Victoria based model is a driven top sales rep with a business degree and works for a local company whose mission is to trade fairly and directly with small-scale producers in developing countries.
