Being part of an old boy’s club has its benefits – secret handshakes, tweed jackets, and the freedom to hide out in a cave and recite poetry with a bunch of other men.

A Holy Mecca of Craft Beers

 

Vancouver.

You set some pretty tough New Year’s Resolutions for yourself. Become more worldly, more social and finally let loose that artistic side by getting into some crafts. Thankfully you can fulfill all three of these goals by the end of the weekend thanks to Gastown’s newest drinkery, Bitter Tasting Room.

Vancouver,BC

 

Oh, the famed burger. Just hearing the name conjures up memories of summer BBQs, road trips, and that girl, Sally Berger from third grade, who answered NO on the Do You Like Me? Yes/No/Maybe game and sent you to therapy for the better part of middle school.  For a burger experience without the self-loathing, Max’s Burgers.

You know that feeling you get, even as an adult, when you see an amazing illustration and it reminds you of being a kid, at bedtime, having an amazing story read to you, taking turns flipping the pages of a beautiful book? The pictures that take you back and remind you that there was once a time before the internet and people created beautiful things with pencils, paint, and paper instead of digital photographs, vectors and 2 pt. oval brushes in CMYK?

handmade secret santa gifts…

 

I have a pretty amazing group of friends from school here in Van and for Christmas we decided to do a secret santa for each other. The stipulations were that it had to remain a secret for real, which was very difficult, and our gifts had to be made by us, not purchased.

 

You guys, it was the best.
