Interesting Vancouver is an unconference that I will be helping to hype and maybe even speak at, if I can get my act together. The premise is to hold a super relaxed conference where speakers are invited to speak for 20 minutes or 3 minutes on any topic they’re interested in, passionate about or super knowledgeable about.
It’ll take place on October 24th at the Vancouver Rowing Club and only cost $25. This will be one of those events that will make you proud to live in the cultural mix of Vancouver.

If nothing else Spank Rock introduced the world to the dance move: Air Cock Thrust, also referred to as A.C.T. This move was a staple at house parties, clubs, and on public transit in winter 2006, so I’m a little ashamed that I’m only adding it now. Halfway through this video you’ll see a demo.
Here’s my music advice for the week. You must check out Viva Radio. I found it through the American Apparel website, making me reconsider my boycott of their clothes. They also have some great pictures of Obama, McCain and Hillary. sidenote: I can’t believe Bill married Hillary back then. It must have been love, because love is blinding.
