I forgot to say that I came downstairs from the balcony quite awhile ago. I saw Don Adams (president of the BCCMA) in the door way and told him I could not see anything from upstairs. He cleared a table for me on the floor. I occasionally run down to the front of the stage now and snap photos…I will […]

All the gear we use and the places we go to get outside.
BC Country Music Association Awards 2010
From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Red Robinson Show Theatre I have traveled. Last year I was sitting at a table on the floor of the theatre. This year the event is so heavily sold that I am relegated to the balcony seats. While I was in taking pics of the stage before the […]
Part III of Vancouver Opera’s Lillian Alling
First off, NO SPOILERS here. None. But, I can and will say that I did not see the twists and turns coming. This opera, more than any other opera, perhaps because it is the world premiere, but this opera, had me literally on the edge of my seat right until the curtain dropped for the […]
Part II of the World Premiere of Vancouver Opera’s Lillian Alling
Intermission for the opera…no spoilers from me, just let me say that the production is fabulous. Oddly disconcerting to see an opera leading man wearing flannel and sitting in a Datsun pick-up truck alongside Judith Forst. Oddly disconcerting but amazing at the same time. Before the opera began we toured the backstage and were told […]
Vancouver Opera’s World Premiere of Lillian Alling
I am now inside the Queen Elizabeth Theatre preparing for my backstage tour pre-world premiere of Lillian Alling. I have to say that I wavered at the door, but the black Boulets were my boot of choice. Bloggers Frances Sprout and Miranda Lievers are here with me already. We await the arrival of Nik Belonio. […]

Children of God; Go See It
This evening I attended a screening of the movie Children of God. The show is part of the Vancouver Queer Film Fest. My reaction? Wow. Simply wow. Cinemaphiles may disagree with me but I couldn’t help but think about Brokeback Mountain while I was watching Children of God. A Brokeback Mountain filmed in the Bahamas […]
