Vancouver: A Local's Perspective: June 2011
http://bcrobyn.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. Last night was the preview of the Cheaper Show 10 at a temporary venue set up on the corner of Kingsway and Broadway, just across the street from Our Town Cafe. The Cheaper Show is an art show where every piece is selling for $200. It's a way for artists - local and international - to showcase their work, while also providing art lovers with a way to purchase art without going broke. It's also a bit of a who's who of the Vancouver art scene, as always. Saturday, June 18, 2011.

Vancouver: A Local's Perspective: August 2010
http://bcrobyn.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Return to the Kootenays: Creston. I'm blogging from the last few hours of August 2010 in beautiful downtown Kaslo (in the Kaslo Hotel. No less) where the power in the entire town went out for 10 minutes about an hour ago. You don't know darkness until you're in a remote mountain town during a blackout. Come back to the Kootenays. And so here I am, one week later, not even, and I'm back in the Kootenays. Who knew I'd back here so soon? My destination this time? Of course, I was d...

Friday, June 18, 2010. AWOL in Toronto for NxNE. Young Galaxy at Toronto's Mod Club - June 17, 2010. Photo by Robyn Hanson for Guttersnipe. Just a quick update here from Toronto. That's right. I'm in Toronto right now - my first time (I know, I know). I've been invited to be the photographer for Vancouver-based Guttersnipe. Website for their NxNE festival coverage. Needless to say, my updates here are going to be hit and miss for the next little while. Will report back on my NxNE escapades shortly! This ...

Saturday, May 21, 2011. Brewery Creek Beer Festival - US. My first trip to the Armoury aka: the Beatty Street Drill Hall was a week ago Friday for the Brewery Creek Beer Festival - US as a part of the Vancouver Craft Beer Week. Imagine 20 or so American breweries serving craft beer in a giant drill hall. that was my Friday:. The orange blossom ale was intriguing. The Kentucky bourbon barrel ale was delicious. Re-up BBQ was there - they make amazing pulled pork sandwiches. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Practic...

Vancouver: A Local's Perspective: November 2010

Friday, November 26, 2010. Scenes from a Vancouver Snow Day. Friday, November 19, 2010. Vancouver of yesteryear: A collection of Fred Herzog photos. Friday, November 12, 2010. Quintessential East Van scenes. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. And so Gordon Campbell resigns. I am by no means a political expert. Not even close. It's pretty embarrassing, and with exception to a passionate few, I'd say that the average Canadian, at least here in BC, is equally perplexed when it comes to local politics. The thing w...

Monday, April 26, 2010. RIP Sophia Books and Elfsar Comics. It was the Granville Book Co. a few years ago. Then it was Duthies. Now it's Sophia Books. The news spread around Twitter earlier this morning that beloved independent bookstore Sophia Books was finally closing its doors due to Vancouver's obnoxious rent rates. The Georgia Straight. Man, what a heartbreaker! Oh, and get this. As I'm composing this little post, news is spreading on Twitter that Yaletown-based Elfsar Comics. Sunday, April 25, 2010.

Thursday, October 28, 2010. Deerhunter at the Rickshaw. I make no secret that I dabble in concert photography for fun. It comes in waves. sometimes I can go an entire month without a show, and at other times (read: October), there are shows every second evening. Maybe it's the Bladerunner-esque facade:. If you're reading this, you're probably already familiar with Deerhunter, but if you're not, here's one of my favourite tracks:. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Pixar comes to Vancouver. And at the airport.
