Extreme Air Park!

This past weekend I checked out the Extreme Air indoor trampoline park out in Richmond! What a fun place!

There is a basketball area, a "foam pit" that you can dive into, and of course, trampoline dodge ball! Or you can just bounce around, which turned out to be an amazing way to exercise! Do you know about the health benefits of trampolining? It's good for your lymph nodes and helps with toning and they equate it to going for a run for 33 minutes, without the harsh impact it can have on your knees and joints! I think I'm going to take up the trampoline as my exercise regime! Perhaps even attend their "Airobics" classes!!

Rockabilly Roundup!

If you feel like jivin' tonight, then head on down to the Fairview Pub at 898 West Broadway for Rockabilly Roundup, featuring a record release party for  Hank Angel and the Island Devils!

Curious Flea Market!

This weekend out in New West is the Curious Flea Market! What makes it so curious? The Battle of the Curious encourages folks to bring out their weirdest item that they can find and the most curious object will be immortalized forever in the Curious Hall of Fame, and the winner will receive a lovely prize!

The Curious Flea Market runs today from 10-5 and on Sunday 11-4! Check it out!

Assaulted Fish at the Fringe!

I love love love comedy group Assaulted Fish! And so will you. And so did the SOLD OUT crowd last night at their 10 year anniversary show at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. They've received rave reviews for their intellectual, slapstick, political, thought provoking, and most importantly, side splittingly funny show. Get your tickets while you still can!

Assaulted Fish: Sacred and Profane has one more show to go. Saturday Sept 14 at 8pm at Studio 16! Tickets here!

A False Face at the Fringe

The Fringe Festival can be hit and miss, which is part of its charm. Last night I checked out A False Face, which was was a bit of a Before Sunrise piece, First Nations styles.

Here's how the official website describes it:
It's an Aboriginal take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. But where that film was about the folly of erasing memory, A False Face is about the folly of twisting memory. Two fucked up Aboriginal social workers bend truth to create masks to hide behind, and good people pay.

The Fringe Festival ends this weekend, and A False Face has two more shows: Saturday September 14 at 8:35pm and Sunday September 15 at 530pm, at the False Creek Community Centre (1318 Cartwright Street) on Granville Island. Buy your tickets here.
