SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

Skateboarding is dangerous. You throw in masks and a couple roman candles, that's mayhem, which is why this only happens once a year.

Rattlehead is best known for hosting Powerchord on Citr with Metal Ron from 1985. He's seen over a thousand shows and is Vancouver's biggest rock and roll fan, period. Over the years, venues have closed, scenes change, but Gerald's always been there.

I've been waiting for the right opportunity to tell you about the pair of Fitzsimmons boots that our friends at local footwear company, Native , put on my feet.

Skateboard culture is deeply rooted in this fine city of ours. Not only does Metro Vancouver produce some of the world’s finest wood-wheelers, it’s also a major migratory destination for skaters from all over Canada.

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!). Oh man, this one from VIA favourite sp_clarke is so good. In the spooky spirit of the season I give you the trees have eyes .

In a pinch for a Halloween costume this weekend? Make a couture statement and go the way of "Lady Gaga" for the festivities.

When I think of Hallowe'en , I always think of my many encounters with GWAR ! Here is one from the Commodore Ballroom from a few years ago.

Every Friday I share with you one of the awesome outdoor photo’s submitted to our V.I.A. UNPLUGGED Flickr Pool .
