Alas.. my last international trip of the summer, and my sabbatical, is now complete.
I Made a VERY quick road trip up to Vancouver, BC this weekend.
Drove up (from Portland, OR) to Vancouver on Friday, spent one beautiful day milling about Granville Island and a bit of city, and then drove back down to Portland earlier today.
The reason for this insane road trip- to see a good friend's AMAZING one man play at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. Zeb's "Innocent When You Dream" was absolutely fantastic!! Heartfelt, sweet, entertaining, and funny as hell!!
Even through we were not supposed to take any photos.. I sorta snuck a couple in during the performance....
The lineup waiting to get in to his opening show
Walking in we all grabbed our seats and were greeted to Zeb, already on the stage...
And then the performance began...
I was able to snap two before getting shut down :) but it was sooooo worth it!!
Yeah! we found one of his show's posters as we meandered about Granville Island after the show.
The Festival was held at Granville Island.. if you are ever in Vancouver, BC I HIGHLY recommend walking around this adorable little spot- the land is owned by the Canadian government and is required to be mixed use. There is a cement factory, an art & design school, tons of retail/ work spaces for artists and very, very creative businesses, and an amazing public market that was PACKED with local farm-stands, butchers, fish mongers and even a few yummy gelato spots.
