On Saturday April 17, 2010 East of Main had its very first field trip to Surrey, BC. The City of Surrey is known for being Canada’s fastest growing area and also known for the highest concentration and numbers of Sikh followers outside of the State of Punjab*.
This was certainly apparent at the 2010 [...]

Yesterday, I felt very lucky. I went to the Jonsi show, his first concert away from Sigur Ros. I’ll just start by saying it did not disappoint. If you have a chance to see him at the second show tonight (Apr 7) or later this week in Seattle, GO! I don’t want [...]
Some have tried to label Vancouver as a city with nothing fun or interesting to do. Well East of Main knows this ain’t true and is here to change that! There are so many amazing off-beat and mainstream things to do around town including festivals, rallies, underground parties and dances, and random people-powered events.

I’ve heard Pat spin lots over [...]
Here at East of Main, we get real excited about Vancouver’s film fest each year. Hours of circling and double-circling the program + a healthy dose of gut instinct (trust us, our VIFF hunches have been pretty much right on in the past) = our hand-picked flicks. “Regular” movies go first; we will follow up [...]
Friday was another busy day for East of Main at the Olio Festival - 4 venues, 5 shows. Thoroughly enjoyable and whoever’s in charge of this fest was wise to put all this stuff close by together. By bike, it was a breeze to get around.

Wasn’t really sure what [...]
Thanks to the folks who organized Olio Fest - a great way to showcase the amazing talent we have in this city. Vancouver is not the easiest city for live music and alternative venues. It can be real easy to bitch about as ‘no fun city’, but then something like Olio comes along to show [...]
Classics, cranks, comics, love, music, and so much more … I’m so impressed with your book choices, people! Here, my fellow geeks, is the full list of books you suggested for our Ovaltine Book Club. These are in random order and have little blurbs from the intertubes to help you choose, but please do your [...]
After you learned to dart past bouncers in those ubiquitous wristband lineups, this weekend’s Juno Fest turned out to be inexpensive, had tons of variety, and really strong performances from local and out-of-town bands. I wish I could say the same for the Juno awards in general, but they were a yawn moment - [...]
I was always fascinated by independent media and the type of art that comes to life when artists have a vision, but not millions of budget dollars. I always believed that a part of the director is always hidden in his or her creation, and I made it a hobby to read (auto)biographies and see [...]
