Guess Where Vancouver? January 25th, 2008
Everyone's favourite guessing game is back by popular demand! Well, maybe not exactly popular demand. It was actually just one person that wrote in. And it wasn't so much a demand as a "Hey, what happened to Where is this or whatever it was called?" But, hey, who am I to deny GWV's legion of fan.

People's Prom 2008
If you have fond memories of high school prom then screw you. You had your fun. The annual People's Prom is for everyone that was too smart, cynical, ugly, or awkward to enjoy that obligatory 'highlight' of adolescence. That's not to say that the squares with social skills and 90210 looks are not invited. People's Prom--one of the best parties of the year--is inclusive and community-minded. It's also queer-friendly and gender-blind. In fact, boys and girls share the same bathrooms. Just don't go at the same time as your date.

Win Tickets to DAFT PUNK's "Electroma"
Daft Punk is coming to Vancouver! You may have seen the posters of our favourite chrome-domes around town. But before you shit your dance pants and quit your job so your schedule's free, let's be clear-- it's their movie that's coming, not their live show. This engagement is likely to be more art-house than sci-fi. Music
The Best Songs of 2007
'Tis the season for making lists and checking them twice. In my case, I checked more times than I care to mention. Selecting the tracks for this year's "Nice" list wasn't simply a matter of grabbing the songs with the highest play counts in my iTunes, otherwise just five or six artists would dominate. I had to be a bit more evenhanded. There were just a few standout albums in 2007, and they were albums that overflow with many of the year's most memorable tracks.
