On Saturday, RBC’s desiFEST and 3000 fans, supporters and onlookers rocked Gastown from 10am ’til 8pm with acts including En Karma, Jagua and DJ Publicity from Toronto.

RBC desiFEST, which supports Canadian music produced by South Asian artists, was originally conceptualized in Toronto and has since done events in Toronto, Montreal and now Vancouver.

Adding a bit of Vancouver flare to the event, local groups A-Town Productions, Virsar Media, Urban Mixer and Toronto’s By Sathish united to throw desiQUEST, the official afterparty and boat cruise.

DJ Baba Kahn with DJ Publicity from Toronto united forces with the sounds of Vancouver’s own DJ Reminisce and DJ Lajit and made an event you didn’t want to miss. Stay tuned for more footage, soon!

Blue Water Cafe Celebrates

raj — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:29:08 +0000

Following their successes in Vancouver Magazine’s 19th Annual Restaurant Awards Competition, TopTable Restaurant Group invited guests to two post-service celebrations, honouring West’s fourth consecutive win as ‘Restaurant of the Year’ and Blue Water Café’s inaugural GOLD for Best Seafood, as well as Frank Pabst’s ‘Chef of the Year’ title from the Georgia Straight’s Golden Plate Awards.

We missed the packed house at West on Friday night but were able to make it to Blue Water Café on Saturday night to congratulate Chef Pabst, enjoy the free-flowing Champagne, canapés and sushi, and to enjoy superb company. Miraculously, no massive headache in the morning, either.
