COMPARISON SURVEY OF LANGLEY BC’S GREASYSPOON DINERS
Here is a map outlining our targets as I see them (marked with the red balloon icon; EGGBOMB, Twins Coffee and Cora are, let’s say, honourable mentions…Poseidon is another thing, the review for them is over here) The westernmost option is Corner Cafe, which absolutely gives diner menu but doesn’t really give diner ambiance. Very…

❄️💡 Victoria’s coolest & most lit winter ticket is 🌹 Butchart Gardens after dark
What can I say, this is ITTTTT. I can’t recommend something more highly than this. It’s worth every penny of $35. We got in for free because the newspaper did a free ticket advent calendar promo. (If they do it next year the same, you have to get 10 days of discarded papers in a…

Beltane Rave @ MORTUARY in Olympia, WA
So this is what I get for being single, psychotic and fancy-free on FB in April 2023: only the greatest indoor rave ever. Put bluntly, I’m trying to go to every event I can get to at this venue. Incredible. Allow me to elaborate: I couldn’t resist finding out more about the venue when the…

Babes On Babes Vancouver // FORTUNE SOUND CLUB
Let me review the venue first. If you’ve ever heard of downtown Vancouver I supposed you’ve heard it’s dangerous; “a warzone” full of “the walking dead” and other such fashy, dehumanizing drivel. The people saying it’s dangerous are for-the-most-part totally ridiculous, when they’re middleclass tourists with cameras running through the clearly demarcated shooting galleries and…

Riva restaurant in Sidney BC lunch review
4:27pm, Sun Oct 1 Debating the menu with myself now that my lunching friend has agreed to Riva tomorrow. At the moment I’m looking at the cauliflower fritters, the brussel sprouts, and the squid is a debate. Calamari strips sounds delectable. Maybe I’ll abstain from drinking to cut the budget, and also seem like less…

Langley Buffet (spoiler: it’s incredible)
Holy shit I was just complaining about how Mandarin doesnt charge $13 for lunch anymore and then I move walking distance of this place. How fucking incredible is that? Maybe it tells you something about the relative cultures of outlying Vancouver VS outlying Toronto; the wild west rises again, or something. (We’re on the frontier,…

FREQUINOX end-of-summer party (Victoria BC)
First order of business: this shit is not accessible. The elevator is broken, it’s a steep staircase and it’s a fairsize flight to get up if you’re on wheels etc etc. I would hate to read this review if I had a prohibitive mobility issue or whathaveyou and very minimal desire to live vicariously through…

Royal BC Museum, summer 2023; Angkor and T. Rex
These are the current main exhibits at the RBCM through the fall, and here is the review: 1) the Angkor exhibit is very long and beautiful but only worth seeing if 2D images really do nothing for you, and 2) the T. rex exhibit is very short and lackluster but very worth seeing if you…
