So last weekend I had brunch with a lovely and diverse group of people at Rhizome Cafe, a new spot in East Van. Despite being completely overwhelmed with other blog-related things to deal with, I just had to write about it!

Rhizome* is a café, arts venue, and diverse neighbourhood meeting place that offers:
  • Healthy and affordable meals, snacks and drinks featuring fresh, local ingredients
  • A venue for community events
  • A comfortable room that can be used for workshops and for meetings of community groups
  • Stage, DJ booth and PA system for live music and other performances
  • A large wall (28’ wide by 12’ high) dedicated to showing the work of local visual artists                                                        

The food was super-yummy, the people were friendly, the coffee was good, and the staff are adorable. ;) So go check it out... it's at Broadway and Kingsway in good old VanGroover. Mmmm, Eggs Rhizomedict.

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
