Sign The PETITION To Save The RIO
Hey folks. Everyone in Eastvan is starting to feel the change coming to our neighbourhood. Artist spaces are being closed down. High rises are going up in Mt. Pleasant. Independent theatres are closing.
It’s time to stand up!
To help save the RIO, please head over HERE to sign the online petition. By signing, you are raising awareness to Minister Rich Coleman to remove the ban on the RIO Theatre to show movies while retaining their hard-fought liquor license. There is much more information HERE!

2012 Light Festival In Ghent, Belgium
This year, the Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium, was showcase to the Luminaire De Cagna LED-light display which drew in over half a million people. The Italian family has been in the light display business since the 1930′s but have switched to LED lights in 2006. This project consisted of over 55,000 LED lights but used only 20 kWh of energy. Vegas, eat your heart out.
RZA Action Figure
The RZArectah gets his own action figure fresh off his stint in the “what, they made a sequel?” to G.I. Joe. In the film, Bob Digi plays the Blind Master, a member of the Arashikage Ninja Clan that Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes belong to (pictured left and right, respectively).
