Rain City Line Up Announced!
The line up for the second installment of Rain City Chronicles has been announced! (Coming from a journalism background, that’s not a good leading sentence ’cause it’s past tense. But it’s the sentiment that I’m stressing so forgive me and read on.)
RCC is an on-going storytelling night that was co-founded by Karen Pinchin and Lizzy Karp and me (all pictured above.) Storytellers are given up to seven minutes to tell a story about the evening’s theme. This time around, the theme is luck. It takes place on Monday, March 29th at the Western Front, 7 p.m.
So here’s who’s going to be on the bill:
Actor Nadiya Chettiar
Comedian, activist and author Charlie Demers
CBC Radio 3 host Lana Gay
Communications whiz Pamela Hart
Guardian blogger Colin Horgan
Vancouver Is Awesome founder Bob Kronbauer
Globe and Mail reporter Marsha Lederman
Journalist Erin Millar
Librarian Rebecca Slaven, accompanied by Andre of The Obvious Peaks and Valleys
With musical guest and former P3 interviewee Louise Burns aka Moonshiner!
CANNOT WAIT! ALL CAPS EXCITED!

Episode 19 – The Rain City Chronicles Experience Part Two
Click here to listen to Episode 19 of the People’s Program Project, featuring part two of Rain City Chronicles.
Here is the second half of the event I co-organized on Dec. 1st at Little Mountain Studios. It featured performances by…
Jenna Rogers, who sang a song (you can’t really hear the guitar on the the podcast…sorry about that) and told a story about being in a band with a wizard, but I had to cut it out…
Vancouver Observer editor Linda Solomon, who talked about frenching a US president (!)…
Amanda McCuaig, who talked about taking her boyfriend home to Idaho and showing him what Republicans are really like…
Taz Van Rassel told a story about surviving life on the streets of Kitsilano (a fancy neighbourhood here in Vancouver) …
Lizzy Karp told a story about growing up non-Mormon in Salt Lake City…
And our last performer Lisa Joyce, who talked about the first time she thought she was dying, with a fitting song to accompany it.
There was also a performance by the hilarious duo of Good Morning World, Pat Kelly and Pete Oldring. But the audio was sort fucked up so I couldn’t really use it. Check them out on YouTube…they are super funny and talented.
Not sure when the next podcast will be out. Probably in the New Year. Until then, read my column and visit my Tumblr site, as those are easier to update. Happy holidays, y’all!
