Vancouver Coffee Shops and the Wi-Fi Conundrum

Attention coffee shop proprietors:

Wi-Fi should be free and available. All the time. Starbucks, I know you can afford it. And JJ Bean, I know you know better.  This inconvenient hoarding of internet capability really mangles up my work-flow.

This is a make it or break it deal for me, and I really want to make it with you.

Vancouver Fashion Week kicked off last night with a gala at Birks jewelry with the help of Mayor Sam Sullivan, who attended to declare  November 4-9 Vancouver Fashion Week.  He was joined by David Lee (honorary VFW chair and former city councillor), Jamal Abdourahman (VFW chair and producer), Grace Zhong (editor of China Ceci Magazine), and Virgina Leeming to cut the ceremonious red ribbon.

Previews of designs by Parasuco, Ecko, Cavi, Adhesif and Ultra were introduced by Tara Parker Tait of VitaminV.ca and Steven Schelling of the WestEnder for a mini-fashion show.

Tonight we’ll see designs from Cheri Milaney, Papillon and Hirad come down the runway before heading off to Obakki‘s private VIP fashion show.  Photos and coverage of all tonight’s events coming your way tomorrow!
