The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey movie at Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver
Peter of AHA MEDIA says
Oh what a memorable weekend to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in Vancouver!
Friday night December 14, 2012 we went to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. A movie I have been waiting for ever since the first Lord of the Rings movie came out. We arrived 3 hrs early (we aren’t stupid, we knew what the lineups would be like) and settled 2nd in line with popcorn, nachos, and drinks inside special edition cups (mine had a mini Gandalf on top).
We were delighted to make new friends Martin and Michael.
2.5 hrs later after turning aside line budgers and whiny people, we get into the movie theater and see a totally blank screen, no commercials, no trailers. Hmm, that never happens. After 1/2 hr of waiting, the manager comes in and tells us that there were technical difficulties and that the movie would be cancelled for the night; we would be able to get refunds and at the front desk. Cue riots, yelling, and the throwing of various food items at the manager.
Thanks to Martin, Michael, Ken Mont, General Manager of Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver , Dr. Stan Karon and his sons and Cineplax Scotia Bank Theatre in Vancouver for making our Hobbit movie experience extraordinary!!
W2 Belongs to Me Press Conference on City of Vancouver Locking out W2 Media Cafe, W2 Community and Indigenous Groups shut out at W2 Media Cafe in Vancouver
As a pre-Christmas gift, on December 17 the City of Vancouver changed locks on the W2 Media Cafe in the Woodward’s Atrium.
Community groups are responding raising objections to loss of inclusive space in the Downtown Eastside. The 10,000 sq ft community-engaged media arts centre had been facing a controversial December 31 eviction notice.
The inner-city media hub is broadly recognized for incubating and launching programs and services with the Urban Indigenous community, and these groups are most affected by the locks being changed.
A Press Conference will take place at the Woodward’s Atrium on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012 at 11:00am.
Speakers will include:
Bracken Hanuse Corlett, Co-Founder, Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival•
Debbie Krull, Woodsquat Veteran
Cease Wyss, Squamish Media Artist
Ashley Frances, InDigital Co-Coordinator
Rob Morgan, Woodsquat Veteran/LAPP member
Scott Clark, ALIVE Executive Director

3rd Annual Community Christmas Craft Fair 2012 in Vancouver Downtown Eastside
The Community Christmas Craft Fair is a unique experience to support low-income women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Crafts are affordably priced, vendors are part of a supportive community that the public is welcomed into, and the event has no cost to vendors which means all proceeds go directly to the artists. Not only that, but submission to the fair is restricted to low-income residents in the DTES, many of whom are involved in drug and alcohol treatment and employment training programs.
