What’s Going On In Vancouver This Week<\/h2>\n

It’s been a busy week for me here as I’ve joined a very cool company, Satel Creative<\/a><\/strong>, a Vancouver ecommerce agency, and right off the bat there’s an event this weekend, and I hope to see some of you there. Craft Beer Week<\/strong> starts this week and there’s lots of beer dinners coming up, including one at Chicha<\/strong>! I’m also heading to the Veggie Expo<\/strong> on Sunday and will have a sneak peak of a couple of the products for you in the next few days; who knew Brussels sprout and cauliflower puffs could taste so good?<\/p>\n
