Events and Entertainment

Welcome to The Playground, a place for Vancouver parents and their awesome kids. Every Wednesday I post a roundup of upcoming family-friendly events and activities.

Our first episode of Giants Of The Forest (click HERE to read about the project) is with our dear friend Savannah for her new project, Redbird.

Here is a little tid bit for you kiddies out there that may not know this! Originally recorded at the then called "Can-Base Studios" (Mushroom Studios) here in Vancouver (on west 6th) is the Classic LP "Bongo Rock" by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo

Giants Of The Forest is presented (with love), by Amazing Factory Productions Inc and Vancouver Is Awesome.com. Amazing Factory is a small crew of people who love film, love music, and love the art of what we do.

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. We interview some of our favourite local artists, and 'Last Week in Music' highlights some of the concerts happening around the city.

Megan Majewski is a local lowbrow artist who's cute and creepy art has left goose bumps on the souls of its admirers from Sydney to L.A. Her art lives in a world of svelte sexy women of the dead and there ever so cute and decaying cuddly companions.

Last week's Peak Performance Showcase featured Aidan Knight, Yes Nice, Debra Jean (and the Means), and the Parlour Steps. All showcases take place at the Red Room at 398 Richards St. (Doors at 8pm).

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!). Today we have jerm IX's last Vancouver statement, an eminem quote , before moving to Toronto.

James Sutton and Carmen Cruz from The Peak 100.5 FM had some chats with the artists who played the second Peak Performance Project Showcase on the 16th at the Red Room.

Our first Vancouver Book Club book is…. Vancouver Special by Charles Demers.
