The folks of Carousel Theatre have been involved in social media for a while and one of the things I’ve enjoyed the most is how they share other people’s stuff and engage with the community at large (I often use this as an example of how the theatre companies in Vancouver actually do sometimes a better job of using Twitter and other social networking platforms to build community than businesses). Anyways, Carousel Theatre recently contacted me to tell me about their upcoming production, The Taming of the Shrew (a Shakespeare classic). From July 30 to August 14 we are presenting The Taming of the Shrew.

Korean pop singer Se7en is back with a mini-album Digital Bounce and has released an MV for the first promotional track Better Together … Se7en was among the very top of the K-pop chain before his company decided to throw him to the US in 2007 to open the new market. The venture failed rather miserably, but got to give them credits for teaching some lessons for other K-pop stars of what (not) to do when moving to the US market. His new album has just been released on July 21 and is already topping some less authoritative charts

The Commonwealth Games celebrates the athletic exploits of sovereign states once part of the vast British Empire. One explicit intention of the Olympic-style event is to foster a sense of unity among nations who, because of a mutual experience and history through links to the Crown, share a common bond (or bondage, as it was).
