Mos Def - Live in Vancouver

We saw Mos Def live at Vogue Theatre in Vancouver last Thursday night. I hadn't been there before but its a great venue where everyone has a great view of the stage and is reasonably close. He didn't disappoint... but I think the show he did in Melbourne with DJ Shadow a couple of years ago was a bit better. The thing that made this show for me was the fact that I managed to walk onto the stage via the backstage door after the show and meet the man himself. Unfortunately he wouldn't take a photo but he did sign my kicks.

BC Ferry Buffet

Being a Monday afternoon there wasn't the usual line up for the buffet on board the ferry and after a rave review from the Brent I decided to go for an early dinner/late lunch. It was $19 all in and pretty good value. I had chicken, pork, spinach and feta pasta, prawns, salmon, a decent salad, drinks and desert... and a great view of the Gulf Islands from my window table. For anyone interested, here is a great blog dedicated entirely to the art of the buffet.
