Captive

My brother Dano moved into a highrise apartment right downtown in Vancouver in 2011. The views up there are amazing. Here's an edit he put together recently.

A Day in Vancouver

I spent a Sunday in the big city recently. Mostly in Chinatown for the Lunar New Year Parade. I can't remember the last time I watched a parade. Good times downtown!

28th L.B.S.

This past weekend saw the running of the 28th Annual Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom. Every edition is special, but this year's was truly legendary. Here's just one feel good moment.

I left my camera in the valley (not on purpose) all weekend, but my brother took lots of photos and posted some beauties here. Thanks again Mt. Baker!

Classic Lineups

I used to drool over old 80's gig flyers and posters from California with lineups of legendary punk bands. All these amazing bands playing the same show. Check out these bills!

I grew up in Vancouver and was lucky to see D.O.A. and Nomeansno fairly often in the 80's and onward. They'd share the same stage all the time. At the time I didn't fully realize how classic that lineup was. Here's a show that slipped by me back in the day. Talk about a bill! D.O.A., Nomeansno and Slow all in one night. Damn!
I recently saw D.O.A. in Cumberland on their "last" tour. Great show by Joe and his boys. Nomeansno is playing a handful of B.C. shows in late February and early March. Go see them if you can. Still an amazing live show.
