Great coffee shops on Commercial Drive

by Mike Browne on February 9, 2010

in Vancouver 2010, vancouver

I have been working at DOXA Documentary Film Festival as the Social Media Coordinator / Blogger for the past two months. The office is on Commercial Drive, one of the funkiest neighbourhoods in Vancouver. One of my favourite things about this block is the number of fantastic coffee shops I have to choose from.

Yes, I can go to the most recognized, corporate shop with the green awning and mermaid in the logo if I wish, and often do. This morning rather than heading there for my usual latté and an apple fritter I was introduced to Fratelli’s bakery by my co-worker Desirée.

While I was eating two ham and cheese croissants and drinking a dark roast coffee at my desk I got to thinking. I realized that some folks, perhaps in town for the 2010 Olympics, may be looking for a more authentic Vancouver coffee experience. So, here I am dioing a quick post about Fratelli’s and the other two fabulous coffee shops nearby Continental Coffee and Café Calabria.

Carol took a full headed mo’ progress photo this evening while were out at the fundraiser for my new job at DOXA. We had a good time but here’s a particularly creepy looking photo of me:

I apologize. I am sure you did not want to see that.

Last night was got sent a great video from PhilipCantone on twitter. It’s by the Mustache Kings from Tickle Strip Express (love that album title):

So the spelled moustache without an ‘o’. I can forgive them, though. That’s pretty funny stuff.

#Movember 07: Prickly and Creepy

by Mike Browne on November 8, 2009

in activity, gratitude

Below is today’s mo progress photo. I think I am starting to look like a dirty old pervert:

It’s even beginning to feel dirty. I have had facial hair before and I know this stage passes. Regardless, it really is for a good cause.

The reason for the bristly yuckiness evident on my upper lip:

This is what I fear becoming. Meet Larry:

Yuck!
