Vancouverites this is directed at you! VancouverIsAwesome.com is having a Donor Drive right now and they need your help! As a newly recognized non-profit organization they aren’t eligible for grants until 2011 so they are looking for donations of any size to keep them afloat!

You will be eligible to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes just by donating. But don’t do it for the prizes, do it to help a site that is dedicated to promoting local arts and culture!

Head over here to donate!

Reid (Lifetime) and I would like to thank the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of you that came out to the art show on Friday! It was overwhelming! Big thanks to Savoury Chef for providing all of the delicious food, the mini Vietnamese subs were a huge hit! If you’re hosting an event in Vancouver you need to let them handle the catering! Thanks to Phono for the music and Kale Friesen for shooting photos!

The gallery side was packed the whole night and the lounge side (with the music and food) quickly turned into quite a party. If you were there, leave a comment!

After much deliberation with the guys at Weloveyouso we have finally picked the winners of our Wild Things’ Forts contest!

Grand Prize Winner: Congratulations to Eric Rice, you have won the “Where The Wild Things Are” Xbox and a bus shelter-size poster! Your fort was just ridiculous! It had a freakin’ third floor!!!

“I spent the long weekend building my fort out old pallets and other discarded materials. I didn’t use any nails or screws to build the actual fort, it’s lashed together with hundreds of feet of string, and is surprisingly sturdy, even on the third floor. I had an awesome time building it, and hope you guys do some more contests in the future.” – Eric
