New Years Eve With Skywalker

Happy nerd year! For the last day of the year and of the DECADE, Sean and I continued our New Year’s Eve tradition (third year in a row!) of going to the cineplex to watch the midnight movie. And the biggest movie to close off 2019 is of course, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker.

We fancied it up VIP-style with dinner in the lounge before the last 3D screening. And because we’re mellow like that, there were only nine other people in the screening with us.

Gotta love NYE at the movies. Hope everyone had an awesome time kicking it into the new decade. Welcome 2020!

Christmas Around Town

Every holiday season, we try to go out around town to check out some Christmas decorations. They’re not New York or London level of decorations, but it’s still pretty and festive. And every holiday season, it’s a bit of a grind to go out because it’s either hella busy at work or it’s sucky weather outside. But we do what we can to get into the holiday spirit.

What was my most listened to tracks in 2019? Drum roll please…

Phoenix Vs They Live Alien

Halloween at Casa de Sullichan!

This year, I decided to dress up as a phoenix – a break in my usual movie slash pop culture related outfits. It was something different, plus it was a fun and not too expensive a costume to make. I do love to swan around in a cape.

Recommendations: Which VIFF 2019 Film To Watch?

I love movies and the entire cinematic experience, including hitting up the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF). It’s different from just hitting up the cineplex to watch the latest big budget, popcorn movie. Film festivals helps to broaden one’s worldview, and gives audiences access to films that they might otherwise have the opportunity to see. It also previews movies that will be in wide release later on. Every year, I make it a point to watch at least one film at VIFF.

Social Media at Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF)

Having been a long time support of Vancouver International Film Festival otherwise known as VIFF, I was right chuffed to land a seasonal contract position, creating content and managing their social media during their festival season.

Over the years, I had seen many films or attended events, like last year’s RZA: Live from the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. But now I was privy to all the behind-the-scenes planning on how to mount a large scale event which sees over 100,000 people attending the festival each year. Not only was I able to access most screenings, but I also got to sit in on Master Classes, Creator Talks, and live events, as well as, be all fancy for the Opening and Closing galas.

Deep Into Darkness: An Immersive Experience In Vancouver

Well, Vancouver finally got its own immersive theatre production a la Sleep No More.

It’s called Deep Into Darkness and based on the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe. Being a fan of Poe’s works, my interest was piqued. And since Sean and I had so much fun at Sleep No More in New York, we were game to check it out.

Moist: Silver 25th Anniversary Tour Hits Vancouver

When Moist reunited and went on a cross-country tour in 2013, I was there. When Moist came out to my neck of the woods to play Hard Rock Casino in 2014, I was there.

So when Moist announced they would celebrate the 25th anniversary of their Silver album with a tour, hell yea, I was going to be there. And so did a couple thousand other people packing the dance floor at the sold out Commodore Ballroom. And these fans came to play.
