About Cook the Hood:
This holiday season, West End foodies will give family and friends a taste of their neighbourhood with Cook the Hood: West End 2010. Featuring recipes from 25 West End eateries and culinary hotspots, the book champions local businesses and community spirit while drawing attention to food security issues. Author Wendy Walsh, who began the project with Cook the Hood: Commercial Drive in 2008, explains: "These books celebrate the people and the flavours that set a neighbourhood apart, while helping those without access to nutritious food."
The brainchild of Vancouver entrepreneur Wendy Walsh, Cook the Hood Publishing produces cookbooks with a difference. Each edition features culinary secrets from neighbourhood restaurants and other gustatory hotspots. Proceeds benefit Quest Outreach Society and local food security organizations. The series includes Cook the Hood books for Commercial Drive, the West End, and Kitsilano. Future editions will feature Gastown and Whistler Village.

At the CRS, we cast brand new scripts on the spot, then watch them fly in front of a live audience. The CRS is the place for Vancouver's artists to meet one another, share their work, and create more. Every live reading ends with a party in the Gallery where you can meet up with other artists over a cold beer.
Actors need to make quick, strong choices and commit to the story. You don't have to submit your headshot and resume around here, just come on down. Casting starts at 7:30 pm. If it's your first time, come say hello, grab a beer, and watch the readings. You'll get an idea of how we work.
For its 16th season, the CRS is moving to a once a month schedule with a special event or two thrown into the mix. For more information on the 2009 CRS please visit www.evolvingartscollective.com and click on the shows & events link.

Compaigni V’ni Dansi invites you to escape the relentless electioneering for one night and celebrate the life of a Canadian folk hero: Louis Riel.
The third annual Louis Riel Day Celebration will be held November 15, 2008 at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver. In addition to honouring Louis Riel – who inspired the rebirth of the Métis nation – the Festival is a chance to celebrate the breadth and vitality of contemporary Métis culture in Canada.
Building on the success of last year, this promises to be the biggest and best Celebration so far, featuring Juno-nominated and Aboriginal Music Award winner Wayne Lavallee; traditional story-telling from Winston Wuttunee, one of Canada’s premiere aboriginal performers; readings from the acclaimed Métis poet and writer Gregory Scofield; traditional powwow and Métis dance from rising star Madeleine McCallum and a special performance by Yvonne Chartrand of Marguerite, a solo piece inspired by the life of Louis Riel’s wife.
The evening also features the Louis Riel Métis Dancers, with special guest from Regina Jeanne Pelletier, and will conclude with the Red River Jig with everyone invited to join in.

On a recent trip to Olympia, Washington, I recorded an interview with one of the docents (like a curator or caretaker) from Olyblog.net. This very active online community has many similarities to Urban Vancouver (as well as many differences) and has sorta taken on a life of its own in this unique, activist-minded, city a mere four hours south of Vancouver.
With these synergies in mind, I am cross-posting here so you can enjoy the lessons and anecdotes discussed over coffee.
Managing an active, hyper-local community blog site using Drupal is the topic as Dave O sits down with Emmett, a docent at Olyblog.net and Drupal-ists Jacob and Nat from Zhonka Broadband at an Olympia, Washington coffee shop.
