The stuff I see out my window on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Anyone know what kind of car this is?
Of course much more exciting stuff happening a block away at the Convention Centre where they’re currently filming the new RoboCop movie. I’m feeling a deep sense of geek shame that I hadn’t put two and two together with all the notices posted in our building from ‘Omnicorp’ until I overheard a PA tell someone what movie it is they’re filming on my way home last night. Apparently tonight will be rife with the sounds of simulated gunfire and explosions galore!

Tear down the Shire! on Flickr.Via Flickr:
At long last, an opportunity has arisen to eliminate those sneaky, fat hobbitses from King Edward Drive. 
It’s about time that we bulldozed more of these ‘unique’ and ‘charming’ houses in Vancouver. Allowing them to stand is very misleading, encouraging visitors to think that Vancouver has history and soul. With any luck, this proposal from April 1 can now go forward:changingcitybook.com/2013/04/01/587-west-king-edward-avenue/
Of course the real shame here is knowing that the owner of this house’s twin on West Broadway has been lovingly restored to it’s original state and is unlikely to be bulldozed any time soon.
(Please note that I’m generally a sarcastic SOB and read this in the spirit it’s intended)

Catching Up on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Just before life went all bonkers at the end of March, I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot Compaigni V’ni Dansi performing as part of the Coastal First Nations Dance Festival at the Museum of Anthropology. 
It was a great show and, finally, life has settled down to a dull roar and I was able to actually get the shots edited.

The Bright Side of Poor Time Management on Flickr.Via Flickr:
I thought I could sneak in a visit to the Friday morning coffee meeting at Zen Café this morning before an important phone call but, of course I stayed a bit too long to ensure that I could bike home in time for the call. 
Not wanting to miss it, I decided to take a stroll on the beach and was lucky enough to bump into the always wonderful and remarkably colour coordinated Tuulikki and have a nice chat with her while awaiting my call.

"There was once a word used---swing. Swing went in one direction, it was linear, and everything had to be played with an obvious pulse and that's very restrictive. But I use the term 'rotary perception.' If you get a mental picture of the beat existing within a circle, you're more free to improvise. People used to think the notes had to fall on the center of the beats in the bar at intervals like a metronome, with three or four men in the rhythm section accenting the same pulse. That's like parade music or dance music. But imagine a circle surrounding each beat-each guy can play his notes anywhere in that circle, and it gives him a feeling he has more space. The notes fall anywhere inside the circle, but the original feeling for the beat isn't changed. If one in the group loses confidence, somebody hits the beat again. The pulse is inside you. When you're playing with musicians who think this way you can do anything. Anybody can stop and let the others go on. It's called strolling…."
