Went to Mercato di Luigi yesterday for lunch. It’s an Italian grocer / caffe in the old Matchstick space on East Georgia close to Main. Just sandwiches for lunch for now, but they’re going to do breakfast, lunch, & dinner soon.

Almost got hit by a car on my 6am bike ride in the dark to the swimming pool.. It was an Evo (car sharing) where the windows were mostly frosted over so my lights and reflective jacket apparently didn't register at all. On an official city bike route too (Woodland), but these days that doesn't mean safety, it just means deserted side street with no witnesses

Shayan Charcoal Grill pop-up has perfect #culturecrawl timing: this coming Friday and Saturday at The Drive Canteen back patio.

The #TinyDadaArtShow, which has been popping up around the world, is making its #Canadian #debut in an #EastVancouver garage on Saturday, Aug. 24.

Created and curated by #Vancouver #artist Allison Beda, the show features more than 40 pieces of art from 30 artists, and all of it fits in a moderately sized backpack.

While Beda is based in Vancouver and the event features local artists like Mark Mizgala, Jean Paul Langlois, and Lynn Budny, the Tiny Dada Art Show has never been shown here.

Over the past year, after its secret debut, it has travelled in Beda's luggage to Florence, Italy; New York City; and Eina, Norway, among other places across the United States and Europe.

Now Beda is turning her own house's garage into the Fake Gallery, which will host the show in the #CommercialDrive neighbourhood.

It opens Aug. 24 and runs to Sept. 11. Later in September, the little travelling #ArtShow heads to Dallas.

"We'll have a little reception in the driveway and then the show will be in the garage," says Beda, noting some artists will be calling in to do little chats.
