Culture Control Recap

"Culture Control Recap"

This event started as a grand opening for my friends at their newly opened shop, Paper Tiger Coffee Roasters, but evolved into an ambitious all day music/art festival of sorts. It turned into more of a referendum on Vancouver residents' need for cultural growth than anything else. The positive response and all day (12pm-11pm), shoulder to shoulder crowds were truly unexpected. I hope this is just the beginning of Vancouver's path towards taking ownership over it's creative scene. Info on next month's Culture Control @ Paper Tiger will be available at www.guerrilla-media.com soon, so be sure to start a profile up and get connected with other like-minded people in your community. The following is a recap of the day's events. Just click the play button on the soundwave below each musician's picture to hear audio of their set.

I wish I could have gone....but at the last moment I had to make the choice in spending my money for petrol so I could get to school the next week, or spending the money on going to this...Unfortunately I did the responsible thing and chose school. I hate being a grownup.

I had a great time. Paper Tiger is a perfect place to connect with friends and the coffee is terrific. Congrats to them for creating this spot to connect. Kudos to Olin and all for putting on a successful event. Last, thanks to all who came to pack the house.
