Well, I cracked open a fresh copy of our fine weekly paper this evening, and to my surprise and delight, the photo I’d submitted earlier in the week was gracing the contents page! Here’s an AdamAbrams.com exclusive: the full-colour version! Read the rest of this entry »

Hey everyone! They’re going to show the legendary “musical episode” of Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the Cinematheque, on the 27th at 1pm (and the 30th at 8pm but I can’t attend that one).
If you’d like to join me, let me know. And be sure to buy your ticket early - you can do it online here!
More info, and alternate ticket sources, here.
Hope to see you there!
The former Golden Harvest Theatre In the Downtown Eastside has been given a high-tech, high-end makeover and turned into an amazing screening room seating 150 in plush leather chairs.
Incongruously located on an otherwise unremarkable block directly across from the police station, I was lucky enough to be invited inside as part of a group viewing a demonstration of the Figaro seat-back titling system, being considered for the Pantages Theatre as part of its restoration. The decor is minimalist Asian luxury, and quite stunning. It was a treat to get to see this new hidden treasure. Thanks to Flickr, you can take a tour as well.
I was biking downtown and noticed a dreaded Development Application on the site of the Homer Building and the adjacent ramshackle house. It says the (heritage) Homer will be retained, but who knows if it will just be (literally) a shell of its former self. The house will surely be toast. I caught some views of both in their current state, for posterity.
I suspect the Homer Cafe, with its humble Arborite-and-linoleum ambience and its cheap and cheerful diner fare, will be the first victim of the overhaul though. So in the interest of new experiences (and in filling my growling belly), I headed in.
It’s a great-looking city!
