Slap on some patchouli and pull out your finest hemp clothing - It's almost time for the Vancouver Folk Music Festival!!!

It's another solid music lineup for 2014. Highlights include:

Great Lake Swimmers
Wintersleep
Andrew Bird & The Hands Of Glory
Jay Malinowski & The Deadcoast
Brasstronaut
Born Ruffians
Riccardo Tesi and Banditaliana
and many many many more...

Tickets for adults range from about $45 - $50 per day. Pretty affordable when you look at the other music festivals happening around the city, no?

If you're heading to the festival this year, here's a little tip for ya: make sure you bring yourself a blanket to sit on. There's nothing worse than sitting on mushy wet grass, ya know what I mean? And hey, don't forget about the impromptu drumming circles that seem to take place around sundown. Very cool.

Enjoy.

So today, Monday, February 22nd, Laurie Logan and I head out to the Surrey Celebration Site to check out what's hot and what's happening. Turns out that the site is closed on Monday AND Tuesday (FYI!!!!) so we end up going on a tour.

It's a pretty cool layout and I've gotta say that it's definitely a more family friendly zone. With tons of stuff for the kids to try out (curling, tobogganing, skating, PLUS a kids zone!) the little ones will definitely be busy, just bring something to keep them entertained in those long lineups.

The concert lineup for this Saturday is STELLAR!!! Kuba Oms, Jon & Roy, Hey Rosetta!, You Say Party! We say Die!, Tokyo Police Club and Wintersleep. A solid lineup. So if you want to bypass the ridiculous lineups here in Vancouver, the Surrey Celebration Site is definitely where you wanna be. I say you try taking the skytrain there. If you're like me and foolish enough to pick the person with the WORST sense of direction to be your co-pilot (aka: Laurie Logan), then you'll spend a good 45 minutes lost and end up at a place called the 'T Barz'. See video.

That's it for me. Peace out!
