Wendy Lai & Hitman Howdy – Featured Food Bloggers
Wendy and Hitman are the owners and operators of Eat’n About, which is one of Vancouver’s longest running food blogs. Eat ‘n About has been providing unbiased reviews of British Columbia (and other areas’) restaurants since 2007. Eat ‘n About also offers recipes, food product and grocery reviews, and food related travel articles. Wendy and Hitman also hope that their divergent backgrounds (she’s Cantonese, he’s Caucasian) and tastes bring their readers different and unique perspectives on the Vancouver dining scene and food in general.

Joseph Jace – Performer
Joseph found his passion for RnB & Hip Hop when he was 16 years old living in Toronto, Canada. His inspirations include Tupac, Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G., DMX, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Ice Cube with his personal favourite being Marshall Bruce Mathers III. The idea of some day becoming a profound writer and yricist, Joseph Jace is described as an old school, with a new age flare type mc; a technically diverse lyricist who brings the crowd with him on every track he performs. Joseph Jace thinks of hip-hop as his outlet for lyrical therapeutic release.
