Image from The Waldos’ website One of “The Waldos” had a connection to a Coast Guard member who had a map of a marijuana garden located near Point Reyes, just north of San Francisco.

Written by Stephanie Michelle Scott with featured hobbyist Justine Hwang : Robyn McClendon @rarebirds When I was first introduced to calligraphy, I’ll admit I was motivated by the commonly held belief that it would be an easy way to up my scrapbooking game and prepare a unique card for my mom to let her know how much I appreciate her. And hey, how hard could it be? I’ve been playing with cursive writing for most of my life, learning calligraphy couldn’t possibly be too hard to master for someone like me who loves the feel of pen on paper. “Some people think that if they have good handw ..read more

Written by Stephanie Michelle Scott with featured Geocache hobbyist Ian, better known as Lazyee_bones Perhaps you remember a time when a walk through the woods was an invitation to fill your pockets with treasure in the form of smooth rocks, the perfect multi-coloured leaf and a twig that curled in just the  perfect way. My mother used to dread washing my clothing because if there was a pocket it would be filled with all sorts of surprises. My eyes would scan the trails, hyper aware of those treasures that stood out to me among the shrubbery. If you’re a fan of BIV you may have alre ..read more

Article by Frankie McKinnon PR.ide before the PR Let’s begin with the most fundamental question of it all – What is Pride Month? Taking aside the PR opportunity where many companies and organizations capitalize on and assert an allegiance to the LGBTQIA+ communities, Pride Month is a time where the human spirit and resilience is demonstrated and can pave the way for advocacy efforts. As a recent transplant from Brooklyn, I am writing this article still in shock but heartbreakingly not surprised at the increasing legislative inaccessibility of basic human rights that target the minority and und ..read more

And maybe, just maybe if you close your eyes you’ll be honoured with a vision of none other than the queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese walking towards you. It’s one of those venues that remains unfazed by what ..read more
