I like this new Jesus and Mary Chain tour schedule. It was only a couple of years ago that Jesus and Mary Chain came to Vancouver for their Psychocandy 30th Anniversary tour. Before that, it was 1992. (!) Although, that’s only Vancouver. Jesus and Mary Chain has been touring regularly since 2012. Before that it was 2007-2008, and before that it was in 1998.
Suffice it to say, anytime I can see Jesus and Mary Chain perform, I’ll take it.
Music is here! How do you take your Game of Thrones? Some fans just watch the show, some watch the show and go to the conventions, while others have read the books and watch the show, and yet others will read the books, watch the show and be all about the music. The latter would be us, because Sean and I just love movie soundtracks and scores and the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience featuring Ramin Djawadi is just our jam.
The immersive Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience pulled out all the stops – featuring a full orchestra, choir, solo musical performances, a 360° stage, and stunning state-of-the-art technology showcasing footage from the show on jumbotron screens, as well as, really cool visuals created for the tour.
As is our custom when it comes to anniversaries, we forgo buying presents for each other and instead, celebrate and indulge with luxurious hotel stays. Sooner or later, we’ll have stayed at all the 4 and 5 star hotels in Vancouver. We’ve already stayed at the Pan Pacific Vancouver, L’Hermitage, and the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. This time we chose to celebrate at the Shangri-La.
8 awesome years of love, laughs, being goofballs and weirdos together. I’m a lucky girl. Happy anniversary babe.
San Francisco in da house! My cousin, his wife and their kidlet came for their first visit to Vancouver. And we got to meet their little cutie, Gio.
It’s been a week of eating and catching up and getting to know our cousin-in-law better and eating and touristing and eating some more. The last time we saw Michael, he was just getting hitched to Stella in Monterey. And three years later, here we were fawning over Gio, the sweetest boy ever.
I didn’t quite feel that zing of fangirl excitement like I did when I came across the filming of two episodes of The Flash (one at Hornby Plaza and the Christmas episode at Robson Square), however, it was still pretty cool to see Eric Kripke’s new show, Timeless, being filmed downtown.
Especially as the actors and extras were dressed circa 1940s-1950s costumes. Plus the classic automobiles.
Fresh off the heels of Mash Up: The Birth of Modern Culture, the VAG knocked another one out of the park with the Juxtapoz X Superflat exhibition.
Curated by world renown artist Takashi Murakami and Evan Pricco, editor-in-chief of Juxtapoz Magazine, Juxtapoz X Superflat presents the works of 38 artists from Japan, China, Korea, Canada, US and Europe.
So what is superflat?
Every year it’s the same old feeling, same old blur. How did the year pass by so quickly? There seems to be no putting on the brakes of this full-steam ahead train car.
Although the year started out as sad and shocking (I’m still feeling gutted about David Bowie), 2016 treated me really well. It was certainly a fab year of travel! (one of my trips being on the dime of my work – not too shabby!)
