East Coast By Choice

Go see this movie.

April 27, 2011

Tonight at Park Lane a local feature is screening. Nothing too out of the ordinary, except this movie took five years to make and almost claimed the life of its director. Check out this quote from The Coast: Take the plane scene. Grady took a camera into the skies on a rickety old plane owned [...]

Pixies Pixies Pixies

April 10, 2011

Yesterday I got to see a band I’ve liked since junior high, and unlike most of the bands I liked then, they were, and are, amazing. I showed up a half-hour before the doors opened at the Metro Centre and managed to get a front-row spot. I was a little worried I’d get too jostled [...]

West Side Story at Neptune

April 8, 2011

I have watched West Side Story, the film, probably five or six times. On top of that, I was a cast member of my high school’s version of the musical, and basically lived and breathed Leonard Bernstein for my sixteenth year on this planet. I know WSS inside and out, so my standards are pretty [...]

Monsoon Café

March 31, 2011

Living in the suburbs has its ups and downs. One of the main downfalls is the lack of any kind of nearby food or entertainment within walking distance. So when Cokebaby noticed Monsoon Café had opened up on Parkland Drive in Clayton Park we had to check it out. It’s in the very same spot that several [...]

I busted a move. And my hip.

March 28, 2011

This weekend I participated in the second annual Bust a Move for breast cancer event. The gist of it is that you attempt to raise $1000 or more for an intergrated breast health program for a local hospital. If you do that, you get to participate in a day-long exercise-a-thon. Things that end in -thon [...]

Damn you, Ghost!

March 10, 2011

I’ve been out of university for a few years, now, and while I enjoy my nights spent watching seven episodes of Community in a row, I sometimes feel like my brain needs a bit of exercise. This year, as part of an insane list of New Year’s resolutions, I decided that I would take a [...]

Pipa Restaurant is by no means a new establishment but in the past few months it’s quickly become one of my fave spots to eat in the city. Located on Argyle Street, Pipa offers diners an authentic Portuguese and Brazilian experience. Whether you’re having drinks around the bar with friends, tucked away in a cozy [...]

The Roar About Horror

March 4, 2011

I like scary movies. As soon as I was able to make decisions about what films I wanted to watch, I leaned towards horror and thrillers. I can perhaps attribute this to hiding behind the couch in my parents’ basement at age 7 while my mom watched Candyman. Forever traumatized, but intrigued! When I got [...]
