Love Lincoln’s Gallery
Filed Under Craft, Vancouver | Leave a Comment
If you haven’t been to Lincoln’s Gallery yet, go. there. now. Just what downtown needs, it is a mellow spot with creations from Reid Trevarthan, and, this month, longboards from Kevin Bay and Ken Hann of Selfless Creations. Located at 106/108 W. 9th St., the gallery fronts div., a clothing and design shop (which was closed when I was there, so sorry if I am a little uninformed about it). The place is owned by the men of Vancouver alt-folk band Lincoln’s Beard. The band plays on Frist Friday, so go check it out then. As for me, the minute I walked in, I just wanted to grab a coffee and hang out on the gallery’s couch for the afternoon. Try that. See how it goes.

Lincoln’s Beard at The Grind
Filed Under Craft, Vancouver | Leave a Comment
You can find me (in case you care–and I know you do) at a Lincoln’s Beard show on Saturday night, July 11, at The Grind Coffeehouse in downtown Vancouver, 611 W. 11th St. Part of a two-month-long exhibition put on by Guerrilla Media featuring local bands and art, the show is FREE from 7 to 9 p.m.
I love the rockin’ y’allternative stylings of Lincoln’s Beard, and I especially love that Guerrilla Media has brought its artsy awesomeness to the Grind — and to First Friday and Craft in the Village, where I met them last weekend.
Be there or, well, you know the rest…
