Events and Entertainment

Woah, the scope of Velopalooza , "10 days of bikey fun", is kinda blowing my mind right now. So far there's over 70 bike-related events, most organized by individuals, and nearly all of the events are free.

Even if you're not a parent or up to speed with today's coolest children's TV shows I kindof assume you've caught wind of Yo Gabba Gabba by now. It's a kids show on Nick but it has a following beyond... well, kids.

Yes, more from the most photogenic skate event in the city brought to us by the fine people at BLVD skateboard shop. For those of you who missed the event, they filmed a short segment which will air next week on Switchback.

The Cheaper Show #9 happens June 26th! In case you're unfamiliar, here's the deal: 200 artists. 400 pieces of art. $200 each.

The DIY scene in town's getting a little shinier with today's grand opening of the long-in-development Spool of Thread sewing lounge.

Don't forget, it's Hat's Off Day up in the Heights on Saturday between 9-3pm. Here's some footage from last year. Hopefully I get there in time to help them kick off chicken season at the legion.

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool with you, shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!).

This weekend at Metrotown is Hockey Night in Canada's PLAY ON! street hockey tournament! Our team will be there again this year... slaying the competition!!! Remember last year? In case you forgot...

I received the best piece of mail I've seen in a really long time this week. We try not to beat you over the head with blog posts about causes and charity fundraisers and stuff like that here at V.I.A.
