Sarah McLachlan, Bryan Adams, Stevie Nicks, Hedley ~ Here for one night

by Carmen Cruz



The concert is called 'Voices In The Park' and features the vocal stylings of Sarah McLachlan, Bryan Adams, Stevie Nicks, Hedley, and Hey Ocean!, just to name a few. PLUS, former president Bill Clinton himself will also make a special guest appearance. CoooOOOOoool!









So what's this all about?
Here's the deal:

Voices In The Park is a concert fundraiser to raise money for the Sarah McLachlan School of Music (SoM). This program provides FREE after-school music education for "underserved and at risk children who face challenging cultural, social and economic circumstances".
Basically, this project helps nurture creative young minds (aged 7 - 17) who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. Through this program, these deserving kids develop a stronger sense of "confidence, motivation, perseverance,self-esteem, self-discipline, teamwork skills, and determination, all tools applicable to lifelong success".  Wanna know a bit more about the program? Check it out for yourself:



Voices In The Park takes place September 15, 2012 (THIS Saturday) at Brockton Fields at Stanley Park. General Admittance tickets cost $85 (no service charge! Take THAT Ticketmaster!!!), and kids under 12 years get in for $10. Last time I checked, there were still just a few tickets available.

Here's the concert line up for ya:

Enjoy!

Free Outdoor Movie Today ~ Spaceballs

by Carmen Cruz


It's happening tonight, around 9-ish in Stanley Park.
Tonight's feature movie? Spaceballs!!!

(**Confession Time: We're all guilty of this - never having seen a super popular and classic flick that everyone else has seen. For me, I've only ever seen the first 10 minutes of Spaceballs. That's it. I've also never seen the movie Top Gun. Let the judgement begin....**)

Need more info on tonight's movie? Go here. 

To the gang at Fresh Air Cinema - you're the bees knees.

See you there!

FREE Outdoor Movies in Stanley Park

by Carmen Cruz


The awesome peeps at Fresh Air Cinema are back at it again with another summer of free outdoor movies. It's happening every Tuesday in Stanley Park (in Ceperley Meadow). The movie starts around sunset (so close to 9-ish?).

Tonight's outdoor movie is Zoolander and it's really, really, ridiculously good looking.   

Future movies include classics like  Grease, Spaceballs, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Labyrinth. (I have no idea why, but to this day, I still reference someone's stinky apartment/home as the 'Bog of Eternal Stench'... Ha!).

Be sure to check out Fresh Air Cinema's facebook page for all the upcoming movie dates and details.




Maslow and I will be there with bells on. See ya there!
