Mayor Gregor Robertson helped open up the special "Extra-Ordinary" edition of Rain City Chronicles tonight at the Vancouver Playhouse, reminding the audience that he is, indeed, awesome. He acknowledged some of the city's problems as well as the hard work of the folks at the Vancouver Foundation and SFU (who were presenting the show) in helping to fix them, while not giving much of a political spin to anything. He then went into a funny story about a family trip to Scotland where... well... you had to be there! If you weren't there, you should go next time!

Christine MacAvoy's going to be bringing you some more photos from tonight's fantastic event that was filled with storytelling and music and connections, co-hosted by Cory Ashworth from the Peak with our pal, Rain City founder Lizzy Karp. Tonight I just wanted to take a quick moment and acknowledge Gregor Robertson and thank him for showing us his human side. It is events like this, produced by thoughtful people, that bring out moments like the ones we witnessed of our mayor tonight. That is awesome.
