1. Yelper Party: Yelp's Night At The Museum
I was wondering why there wasn't a theme to this party -- and it quickly made sense after you realize how much disjointed (but amazing) stuff can be packed into an museum after hours. It defies categorization.
From the get-go, lining up to get in set…More »
2. Elites Party in the Rec Room at The Bimini
In East Vancouver, born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
... and luckily I still had some vintage (*not* throwback - they are 90s…More »
3. Elite Event: Cozy Up Pyjama Party at 131 Water Street
Yelpers are hardcore - really hardcore. Who else dresses in pajamas in the middle of December to a party in Gastown? Seeing everyone in their strategically planned pajama outfits made me feel ashamed I didn't dress up for the event. But I'm a wuss…More »
4. Keefer Bar Dim Sum Cabaret Elite Event
Despite variables in theme, venue and time (I, for one, liked the early start to the event - it kept after-festivities to a respectable hour), there are a few but important constants to Yelp Elite events. Namely - great people, awesome…More »
5. Elite Secret Supper @ Kitsilano Daily Kitchen
I like dinners... and I like parties... but I despise 'dinner parties'. But this was different.
Hmm - an Elite Event that we have to pay for? What is this tomfoolery? Do they know *who* they are dealing with? With the mystery and work involved - I…More »
6. Elite Event @ The Mexican Antojitos y Cantina
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2

Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
"That's Robin, the first Yelp party she throws
How do you say 'broke' in Spanish? Me no hablo"
Delicious food. Free flowing sangria and cervezas. Awesome people. Me gusta.
After a far too long of a hiatus, glad to see Yelp Elite events are back and…More »
7. Ninjas Unite! Elite Party At Suika
"Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly / Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi"
A few things I learned from this event:
- Suika is worthy of the high acclaim I've heard
- Apparently, sake doesn't give me stomachaches - it's just…More »
8. Smile, Yelp Loves YEW Elite Party X2
... then Superman dat ho. (YEEEEEW!) Now watch me (YEEEEEW!) Crank that Yelp Event. (YEEEEEW!) Now watch me. (YEEEEEW!) Crank that Yelp Event.
And no, your calendar isn't mistaken: it is the distant year of 2011 and I'm making a Soulja Boy…More »
9. Yelp's Word To Your Author Elite Party At The New Oxford
Whenever you roll into a Elite Event - anticipation and excitement is high. You know you're pretty much guaranteed for good times with great people.
As soon as I checked in with Crystal and the awesome front door staff, a drink was slapped into my…More »

11. Elite Event @ Mis Trucos
Yet another strong Yelp event - notwithstanding the uncooperative weather. Only a few of us were brave enough to venture to the patio, making it extremely packed inside. Great concept on defiantly wearing white after Labour Day - unfortunately, the…More »
12. Elite Event @ Wild Rice
Probably best venue thusfar for the Elite parties I've attended - thanks to the awesome staff at Wild Rice and the great use of the intimate space. It was my first visit to Wild Rice - while I've heard of it before, I've alway been skeptical of…More »
13. Elite Event @ Vancouver Police Museum
The disjointed floor plan and lack of air-conditioning seemed to pester some people, but seriously - it's an old museum. A seriously cool museum that I never knew hosted parties. Yet another kudos to Crystal's party-planning skills. Despite having…More »
14. Yelp Presents A Carnival Wonderland @ Ayden Gallery
Here's why 5-stars:
First star: Awesome venue with inspiring artwork - apologies to Ayden Gallery for initially thinking your clothing racks were for coat-check. I was trying to hang up my jacket before I noticed the price tags on the stuff on the…More »
15. Elite Event: Tango Trip @ Regional Tasting Lounge
Vancouver, BC V6B 5P2
Category:
Local Flavour
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Another awesome event from Crystal. I cringe everytime I enter Yaletown (I refuse to acknowledge my yuppie-dom), but RTL was the awesome venue to host the event. Bartenders were awesome at quickly churning out the Pisco Sours and R&B beers for the…More »
16. Elite Event @ Café Nuba
Yet another great Yelp Elite event - finally got my Yelp lunchbox with the some swag goodies, Unsure if I dented it when I was clutching onto it for dear life, or it came with the pre-worn look.
Had a chance to do my best "I Love Lucy" impression…More »
17. Living La Voya Local Yelp Party
"Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop -- I can't, because..."
... it was another great party from Yelp and Crystal. The photobooth, DJ lessons, vodka and beer samplers and open bar at the Voya led to some…More »
18. Elite Event @ Chaise Lounge
Had a blast - great party and loved the theme. The staff at Chaise was awesome as well - I got a drink in my hand before I barely made it through the doorway. And it was definitely a fun crowd.
The damage? Some spilt gin on my kicks and a $35…More »
19. Elite Event: Yelp's Full Moon Party At Pink Elephant Thai
I know I'm known for my long-winded reviews - my entire review can best be summarized by one picture. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you 'Meditations on Siam':

Recently updated lists from Johnson C.
East Van Eateries (79)East Van is the place to be when you want to get your grub on. Especially if you're into Asian cuisine - come venture east of Ontario Street. |
Quest for Intercontinental Champion J-Curry (7)I don't profess to be a foodie at all (at least I don't think I'm a pretentious snob) - but I do know Japanese curry. Here's my quest for the perfect Japanese curry... on the wrong side of the Pacific. Notable exceptions: Hurry Curry & Curry House in LA - been over two years since I've been... and neither were remarkable. |
A Compendium of Fine Establishments Serving Libations (90)a.k.a. 'Johnson's Drinkhole List' - where livers and paychecks go to die... a drinking inspiration song for you all: http://www.youtube.com... |
East Van Life (37)Random drinkholes, coffee shops and businesses in East Vancouver. Basically anything east of Ontario Street that didn't fit in my list of East Van Eateries. |
"You're the best! Around!" (46)"Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!" Requisite listening while reading this: http://www.youtube.com... - a.k.a. "Johnson's Favourite Things"... there will be no giveaways. |
Yum Cha (13)Let's face it: "dim sum" is overplayed -- let's call it what real Cantonese people call it... and here's a rap song about "Yum Cha" (and you can learn your dishes too):http://www.youtube.com... |
Nam-couver (18)Some Vietnamese spots in Vancouver |
Get Your Grown Man On (12)For when you realize you can't live life like a manchild all the time - when you're 'growns' up and you're 'growns' up and you're 'growns' up. http://www.youtube.com... |
Un garçon de Vancouver à Montréal (22)Some highlights from my week-long bender in Montreal. |
Sneakerhunting in NYC (18)"[Sneaker hunting] requires research, travel time, daring, money, know-how, street smarts - you know all these things wrapped into one..." - Bobbito Garcia //My starter list of various shoe and streetwear boutiques in Manhattan - if you're quick enough, you can cover all these stores in one day (I did). Not an exhaustive list - but some of the most memorable. And yes - there are tons more shops but you'll have to discover them on your own. Happy hunting. |
