Scott Radnidge's open at Walrus was Thursday night and here are a couple shots from the art and people. There are a lot of great images to check out. Scott was there to welcome everyone.

Nate Roline (shown above in the 2005 C1RCA Canada video, Kybosh ) was "kidnapped" and brought to Vancouver from his hometown of Edmonton. A kidnapping gone right, I might add, since he now happily skates and resides in our fine city full-time.

I forgot to share this photo I shot of the last Blim Monthly Market at the Cambrian Hall. That's our table circled, we were selling our t-shirts and pins which we'll be selling at the NEXT monthly market on February 21st at the Heritage Hall...

Did you get out to the Red Ledge thing at Seymour last weekend? We've got a report coming soon from Dano Pendygrasse, in the meantime here's an awesome video about it (also courtesy of Dano!)...

An Awesome Showcase , the visual arts show at Shine Nightclub, is opening Tue night and preparations are in full swing. The images are all printed and were mounted. Lunch can be seen here as well.

It is just amazing to see swings and tires put up by neighbors for all to enjoy. Maybe some of the Olympic athletes will have a chance to take a swing on some of them as they explore Vancouver. This swing is somewhere around Cambie and 19th.

I must admit that BC premier Gordon Campbell is probably the last person I would expect to see zipping by overhead on that free Robson Street Zipline. This is so awesome. Full story and plenty more pics HERE . photo: alex firmani
