Best Of Vancouver

The Straight's annual Best Of Vancouver issue hits the stands today. If you're planning a trip to Lotus Land, it's the best issue to check out for ideas on food, drinks, clubs, clothes, and quirky spots to kick it. And music (scroll down to bottom for my lil piece)! Big shout out to rapper Smoxz, who was my pick for Best Van City act this year (even Canuck hip-hop pioneer Maestro Fresh Wes is a big fan of his). They had Smoxz do a photo shoot with Sarah Wheeler and The New Pornographers at some Irish pub with a bunch of fiddlers. Truly bizarre. Which is what they were aiming for, I think.
