With Vancouver At Work, we invite Scout readers to send in photos of their work spaces, be they home offices, corporate cubicles, artist studios, fishing boats, bars or kitchen lines.

Photos and info should be sent to scoutmagazine [at] gmail [dot com], and need to be as high res as the sender can manage. Cell phone shots will do if they are no smaller than 588px wide. Now get snapping!

HEADS UP: Gentlemen’s Reserve Market Set To Go Down At “Old Faithful” This Weekend
May 1, 2012
There’s a cool pop-up market going on at Old Faithful this weekend. Gentlemen’s Reserve will showcase clothing and accessories made by folks who are passionate about their individual crafts. The event has been put together by Free/Man Brand - a Victoria-based online publication hell-bent on promoting clothing and accessory brands borne of a commitment to preserve quality workmanship. It seems in keeping with what we’d expect from Old Faithful, and we’re excited to see what will be on offer.

Seen In Vancouver #360: “This Is East Van II” Community Photo Book Starts Taking Shape
April 30, 2012
Remember the 2011 awesomeness that was THIS IS EAST VAN? The project’s creative directors, Erin Sinclair and Rob Forbes, are busily making a second book, again based on photos submitted by community members who are keen to share their individual visions of East Vancouver. Following the “making of” process on Twitter has been great, but we’ve asked them to keep us updated with images as well (without giving too much of the finished product away). These are the first 14 shots that they’ve sent over, with captions. More to come…
Seen In Vancouver #358: Anatomy Of A Pop-Up Supper At Gastown’s Nelson The Seagull
April 28, 2012
We slipped into Nelson The Seagull last night to check out the Picked & Sprout pop-up dinner team set up for the first of their two Gastown suppers (there’s one tonight, too). Because a pop-up by it’s very nature is temporary and spontaneous – coordination, speed and flexibility are key. The crew took over the space a mere two hours before dinner guests arrived and seriously hustled to transform the popular day-only cafe in to a Spring-themed dinner gig. There are still a few seats left for tonight. Score them by email pickedandscrumped [at] gmail.com for or call 778-318-6406.
The super extra great thing about this meal is that every plate served features a hand-foraged or home-grown ingredient. It celebrates the freshest and greenest flavours of Spring, so think wild mushrooms, the seasons’ first wild flowers, real cultured butter, hand gathered ramps, fresh nettles, fiddleheads, and more.
Saturday April 28 | 7pm | Nelson The Seagull (315 Carrall) | $69 | Details
