VANCOUVERITE WEEKENDER: TOP PICKS FOR THE WEEKEND OCTOBER 30 - NOV 1

Friday
Every week I kick off this feature with a film to see, or maybe to just plain avoid. Someone go wake up the studios, cause there is nothing worth seeing this week. Which means another week of Paranormal Activity ruling the box office. And that's pretty appropriate for Halloween kids. But don't worry about that, it's time for the chosen people's film festival. The 21st Annual Vancouver Jewish Film Festival. Check out some more about this at The Straight. One final film option is the Vampyre Weekend at Vancity Theatre. To be honest though, only Friday's 10:15 showing of 1988's Vampire's Kiss is worth noting. Young, insane, Nick Cage.

Stop the presses. For the low price of $69.50 you can see famed 1980's hair rocker Kenny Loggins live. (Red Robinson Show Theatre). Sure it's in Coquitlam, but don't let that stop you, it's Kenny freaking Loggins yo. Please tell me he plays Footloose when he is on tour. Please.

Or you could venture to the River Rock and catch the Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli.

Saturday
Happy Halloween Comedy fans. Andrew Dice Clay at the Red Robinson Show Theater. $63 bucks to see this guy? That is a trick my friends.

Is it me? Or does Halloween + BC Lions Game in downtown totally mean that the whole city is going to full of douchebag bridge and tunnel zombies? Perhaps you could escape and check out the new Glowbal Group hotspot Society for smug versions of classics like truffle mac n' cheese, lobster shepperds pie, or meatloaf. It will be fully open to the masses Halloween.

Sunday
Where do you go for brunch? Let me suggest one of the best. Joe Fortes. They'll start you with some fresh mini-scones and/or warm french bread before you move on to Classic Eggs Benedict,
Huevos Rancheros, and kick ass Chicken and Sweet Potato Hash. Often they have pretty amazing specials like prime rib hash.

Another hockey game downtown (ugh) and Queen Latifah canceled at the Commadore (wtf).

Cibo: Canada's Best New Restaurant

The little Italian joint that you can't refuse, Cibo (900 Seymour St), is Canada’s Best New Restaurant 2009 as chosen by Air Canada’s enRoute magazine. Okay it's an airline magazine award. Okay it's Air Canada too. But out of 37 new restaurants, Cibo came out on top. (Vancouver Sun)

I was at the campanion wine bar UVA the other night and managed to stuff down the potato gnocchi that was in some sort of braised meat sauce. It was incredible. Leave the gun, take the Cibo. And Sebastien le Goff's Dali-stache is still in full effect. What a genius.

Just do it: Foot #7 Washes Ashore

So, the RCMP got the seventh foot washed ashore. This one in a Nike shoe (brand nightmare) was found after a beach stroll in Richmond. This is the seventh foot to wash ashore since 2007, although it would seem, the first Nike version. Just before Halloween? Come on Dexter, not funny. (Via Vancouver Sun)

Glee: True Story of the World's Most Annoying Childhood Choir

So, back in 2007, Premier Campbell invited a kids choir to come participate in the Olympics. They claim he promised them a spot in the opening ceremonies. He claims it wasn't a specific opening ceremony invite. He has since then offered other ways they can come to Vancouver and help entertain the world. Their response, drop dead (Canadian Press).

"We know what was promised and we're not going to be shuffled around in Vancouver," Chief Mi'sel Joe said in an interview Wednesday."As they (choir members) understood it, they were going to be part of the opening ceremonies. This is what they'll accept."

The article goes on to say the children now need healing. Worst. Choir. Ever. The last thing the opening ceremonies needs is a smug little crybaby glee club.

Lululemon to Recession: Whatevs

So, West Coast companies like Starbucks and now Lululemon are turning around, I guess this recession is over?

Bear Bells? Really?

Photo: Devin Manky/Grouse Mountain Resorts

"Bear bells are a part of everyday life for residents of North Vancouver," thats what a Wednesday article from Heather Amos in the Globe and Mail? Really? I've NEVER heard a bear bell or seen one in North Vancouver. This seems like the equivalent of Ralph Wiggum in The Simpsons saying things like, "My cats breath smells like cat food."

But North Van likes the idea so much, they are making GIANT green wrist-strap souvenirs with three bells that residents can jingle during the 2010 Games. You've got to be kidding me. Props to CTV for dropping the SNL Cow Bell sketch in their piece.

Salt Tasting Room: Le Vieux Pin & La Stella Cellar Tasting

I want to live, at least for a little while, in Salt Tasting Room's cellar fridge (Blood Alley, Gastown). The Cheese. The wine. The cool air. Last night at Salt's tasting dinner for Okanagan wineries Le Vieux Pin & La Stella was phenomenal. The final merlot served in a deliciously large glass and made you want to just dive into it and take a soak or at least a few laps.

These are two of the best wineries in the province. Period. And spending two hours in a cellar tasting them some more and pairing them with cheese and meat, it was the best Monday ever. Check out the details:

Flight #1
La Stella Vivace Pinot Grigio
La Viuex Pin Sauvignon Blanc
La Stella Leggiero Un-Oaked Chardonnay

Ash Camembert, Piave Saint Paulin
Duck & Pork Salami and Pamploma Chorizo
Similkameen Apricot Chutney, Chrnichons, Cipollini Onions

Flight #2
La Stella Allegretto Merlot '06
Le Vieux Pin Epoque Merlot '06
Le Vieux Pin Apogee Merlot '06

Mike Vitow's Corned Beef, Finocchiona, and Wild Boar Rosemary Salami
Isle of Mull Chedder & CB Stilton
Guiness Mustard, Basque Olives, Similkameen Honeycomb

Seriously. It was intense. And I only broke one glass. That last merlot, and this coming from a non-merlot guy, was epic and was a great last sip. it kind of is like being a vampire, you have that taste of blood on your tongue and you immediately are wondering how you are going to satisfy that feeling again. Sookie! Sookie!

So, I'm heading to Granville Island this weekend to seek out some more of Mike Vitow's beef - apprently he sells this stuff on the last weekend every month there. Poets will write sonnets about meat that good. Shakespeare would be gobsmacked. Like Heaven. Although a dark horse in the night was that Stilton with Honeycomb combo. You wanna talk about good.

Cambie Street Bridge Enviro-protesting

Photo: 350.org

Halloween came early to Vancouver, as protesters got into costume Saturday on the Cambie Street Bridge to protest the lack of change on the environment or as they called it, bridge to a Cool Planet. So obviously Dinosaur costumes are what makes change. I'm sure Harper was totally moved to change.

And if we were really concered about the environment, and not making everything green, would we really have an environmental conference in Copenhagen where everyone had to fly to get there?

As Ann Althouse writes, "Anyway, how can there be a big climate change conference that everyone must fly to? If the situation is really so dire, why don't they video-conference?"

Indeed.

VANCOUVERITE WEEKENDER: TOP PICKS FOR THE WEEKEND OCTOBER 23- 25

Friday
Kick off your 3-martini Friday lunch in style. 11:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency (655 Burrard St) you can go deep inside the vast right wing conspiracy and do lunch at the Fraser Institute. It's a lively discussion on how awesome the new HST Tax is. Enjoy a table for $650 or a seat for $65 while lighting cigars with $100 bills y'all.

If that is too "highbrow" for you. Try new movie openings of Saw IV (They've made 6 of these?), Astro Boy, or catch the bearded Salma Hayek in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant.

Friday is also a bit of throwbacker. You got Blue Oyster Cult at Red Robinson Show Theatre (Boulevard Casino). All you need to know about Blue Oyster Cult I learned from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And over at the Commodore, Collective Soul the band from the early 90's is back. I mean do you even remember Shine? That was 1993 friends. Wow. And I think they still have that terrible hair.

Lastly, you could escape from all of these with Grape Expectations. This is the adult version of Science World. Wine + Science = Fun! (7-10 pm)

Saturday
Yaletown might still be busy with Taste of Yaletown. Over 20 of Yaletown's joints are still offering special three-course tasting menus for set prices of $25, $35 and $45. Make it drinking game: every time you see small dogs, Lululemon pants, or Ed Hardy shirts you do a shot. Repeat.

But then you could get out of Yaletown and go suburban and see Bob Saget at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. Um, awesome. And maybe if you are opting for the Sagat, you might want to just wait for the banner to be dropped on the Cambie St. Bridge for the Bridge to a Cool Planet enviro-stunt (seemed to have lost the link, too bad). Save on Foods (or Whole Foods for the organic jerks) is just up the street for a dozen of eggs to throw at them for closing the bridge. What for, it might be anyone who follows this part of the bridge shut down, "You can also dress up as your favourite endangered species." Fire away!

Sunday
If you're recovering from the Saturday, you could catch brunch and then rock over the 5th Avenue Cinemas and see Audrey Tatou in Coco Avant Chanel (2110 Burrard at W. 5th)

And what would this weekend be with out kicking it with Peter Mansbridge giving The Bill Duthie Memorial Lecture at the Vancouver International Writers Festival. Wait who's going to do The National? (8:00 pm, Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, Tix: $27)

World Declares War on Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

robert-pattinson-and-kristen-stewart-2806759-460-576.jpg

Rumors that the poor, poor, hard done by millionaire cast of Twilight will get a respite as maybe the next Twilight movie will move back to Oregon to film, as Vancouver's Twiharding "Rogue Tourists" are waging asymmetrical warfare upon them.

According to some suit for the Twilight films, "It's not just the media invading [the Twilight cast's] privacy - it's the whole world. Civilians are flying in all over the world to hunt down whoever they can find. It's bad. Literally [Rob and Kristen] have no choice but to stay inside."

Fame is really hard! The cast calls them Rogue Tourists. Twihard indeed. We should get the Twihards to go to Afghanistan to film and solve that problem. Annoy the terrorists.

Canada's First Micro-brew now with 100% More Molson Swill

Vancouver's Granville Island Brewing Co. is now owned by Molson Coors. Not that you'd know by the media advisory they sent me this afternoon.

"Granville Island Brewing and Ontario-based Creemore Springs Brewery are planning to join forces, to continue bringing Canadians superior craft and specialty beers.
Creemore will announce its intention to acquire Granville Island Brewing from Andrew Peller Limited. These two leading Canadian craft brewers, each with specialty product portfolios that complement existing offerings across Canada, will be able to offer their wide range of brands to more markets in Canada, while continuing to maintain their distinct positions in BC and Ontario."

it made the buyout by Molson sound like a pleasant micro brewery buying out another microbrewery. This in the hopes of making it a macro-brewery. But Not once in the press release did it mention that Creemore was bought by Molson in 2005. In fact in The Globe and Mail and burried in their long email of press they point out that Molson wants you to think that it is Creemore making the deal.

So after 25-years they are now part of Molson. Well that totally makes me want to drink it now.

MTV Puts Reality Back into Reality TV: Peak Season

So i'm watching MTV Canada's new reality show, Peak Season tonight. The 10-episode show filmed in the home of the Olympics at Whistler is The Hills mixed with more Real World and at least 50% less reality. Anything with cameras makes it less real, so I'm not buying much of reality. As a huge fan of MTV-fakery I'm intrigued, kind of. But god do I hate skiing. Let's see how the first two episodes play out tonight:

5. Setting a sexy reality show in the peak season of winter means lots of jackets. Lots of toques. And scarves. Which isn't sexy. Especially all the toques. And snow pants are just not sexy. They make everyone look frumpy.

4. How come there aren't more babes on this show? I know LC was never like Elle Macpherson or whomever, but you can't walk 100 feet in Vancouver/Whistler without seeing a model-looking person. I guess that's why the one guy left his girl at one of the bars. 4b. And for the record, these guys are simply poor imitations of Spencer Pratt. This show needs a real villain. (PS: it's not you Ian)

3. Wait, they are filming scenes at the Earl's? OMG. It's like Yaletown but with jackets and snow. As if.

2. Too much talk of Facebook. Hope Zuckerberg is getting a check from MTV. Enough. Do people really talk about Facebooking that much?

1. Come on. They have real jobs? Get these kids some fake internships or something stat. Real jobs are nuts. And lose the guys. I have no patience for their crap. PS: Sonya the boss at The New Amsterdam Pub was no Kelly Cutrone (not crazy enough). Figure firing the girl who is on TV working at your bar is a bad business decision.

Eating Greatness: A Taste of Yaletown Preview

We sent Vancouverite Roving Delicious Correspondent Leslie deep into the heart of Yaletown for a preview of the upcoming and 5th annual "Taste of Yaletown". She came back mostly unharmed, although the non-beer drinker had to endure the stout of the Yaletown Brew Pub and a nasty run in with Truffle Oil.

At the crack of 5:30, we broke up into groups of six, and each group went to three different restos.

First up: Appies at Glowbal
"The Yaletown Light" might be one of my new faves. OJ, sparkling wine, triple sec and Red Bull. We even got two! I’m going to be awake forever. The Appy was beef carpaccio on a waffle-ish potatoe crisp. I only ate one and gave the other to my friend because it had truffle oil mixed in. Truffle oil makes me want to – or think that I have – thrown up in my mouth. The little bit of pumpkin bisque was dee-lish. And the asiago/parmesan “straw” was the best three bites of the night. Because cheese more often than not holds the best bites. Num. Num.

Next Up: Entrée at Goldfish
Sablefish in a coconut/hoisin reduction with black bean and tomato tapenade. Crazy delicious and lots of people’s favourites.

Also a slice of beef sirloin and scallop/prawn skewer. More deliciousness. Both were on tasty green stalky things that made me feel good I was eating even if I didn’t hear what they were.

Last but not least: Dessert at Yaletown Brew Pub
Not surprisingly, it was a bit of a waste on this non-beer-liker. Though, the stout ice cream was actually kinda tasty. Entirely different than I would’ve thought – not beer-y at all really. We got the cutest little sleeve of stout to go with it. Despite its 6 oz cuteness, I didn’t drink a drop. But again, the less finicky friend thought it was great.

Taste of Yaletown runs Oct 15 - 31, 2009. Find more details at the Yaletown Info website. Taste of Yaletown includes over 20 of Yaletown’s fabulous restaurants offering special three-course tasting menus for set prices of $25, $35 and $45. A portion of proceeds raised from each participating restaurant will be donated to The Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Worst Place to be in 2010: Moslon Canadian Hockey House

Molson Canadian announced plans today for an 80,000 square foot venue in False Creek to watch hockey on TV. And for $500 a night, $1700 for 4-days, of $8500 for the entire games you can sip delicious Molson Canadian beers and be served food by the very Canadian Wolfgang Puck and the Denver HQ'd Molson Canadian. That's more money than actually seeing the game live, but it is all-inclusive. Oh, and to add insult to Vancouverites, Richmond gets Heineken House. Bummer man.

Tourism Vancouver Hates Drudge Report

(Image Credit: Scout Magazine)

Nice little local controversy. Here's the skinny: It seems that Tourism Vancouver ran a banner ad on the popular website, The Drudge Report (Drudge, Drudge, Drudge). Scout Magazine reported this a few days ago, and this morning the Metro paper had on the front as Tourism Vancouver caved and took the ad down. A couple of things bug me about this:

1. Seems like the bigger fail here isn't running ads on Drudge, but that they are targeting Vancouver computers. We live here and stuff. Staycations are stupid. Any questions?

2. Would anyone have had a problem with this if this wasn't on a right wing site? Like Drudge readers somehow don't have money to spend here, and we wouldn't take it I'm sure. I'd bet if the ad was on Huffington Post or Daily Kos no one would care.

3. One blogger and a few comments and Tourism Vancouver pulls its ad. Wow, they are worse than the Canucks right now. Zing!

4. Please note that tonight Shaw, HP, Honda, Quiznos, Best Western, TD Canada Trust, and MSN were all happily spending their targeted ads like drunken sailors on us lowly Drudge craving douchebags in Vancouver who happened to be reading the entertaining a very entertaining news site.

Hilarious.

Well, it's game three of the season and the Canucks are still perfect. I don't care how many Canucks/1994/Trevor Linden references there are on How I Met Your Mother, they are still 0-3. And I'm sure that Robert Luongo the 12-year, $64 million man is now going to be the hot topic of the city until they manage to stop the bleeding. As he was yanked out of the game. Not good.
