RAWRING 20s ASKS

I made some asks! Have fun!

1. Are you more emo, scene or punk?

um i think emo but only in music taste, i dress quite casual and stuff like that

2. Favourite band?

right now paramore!!

3. Any New Year's resolutions?

ye several, for example seeing at least 10 artists live, some different drugs and have over 800 songs on my playlist,, i like to keep my resolutions as actually possible goals, so that’s that

4. Favourite music video?

ooh maybe hard times? call me basic but i love it.. or like the short video of forest by tøp, where he walks on a street, ye that ones special too

5. Favourite song?

nooo don’t make me choose i love so many?? but like turn it off, graveyard whistling, ouch, avalanche, sudden desire, let’s go (khalid), ribs and like teen idle be kinda hitting rn ngl

6. Panic! At The Disco or Fall Out Boy?

um old panic, i don’t listen to fall out boy as much as i used to

7. Favourite album?

fight me but vessel and the black parade hasn’t got any bad song, and they will always have a very special place in my heart,, but right now? like nothing but thieves’ self titled, after laughter, amo and melodrama

8. Do you own a pair of fingerless gloves or skeleton gloves (or the combination)?

no but i wish i did

9. Do you own any band merch? If so, from what bands?

some, from tøp, paramore and bmth, but i only use my purple paramore hoodie

10. Got a jacket with pins?

i had one but then i took of my pins so not anymore i guess

11. Have you got dyed hair? What colour?

ye i dyed it black a few months ago, so it’s black/brown-ish rn

12. Any hair dying or haircut plans for 2020?

absolutely i’m going to cut it really soon, and i’ll probably dye it quite soon as well

13. Crush on any band member?

uh hayley williams i’m free on wednesdays please h it me up on a wednesday what are you doing next wednesday i’m free on wednesday hayley please

14. Killjoy name?

oo i haven’t thought of one yet

15. Are you into The Used?

16. Do you want any tattoos? Of what?

i’ve got one small, but i’d like a few more, like a matching with my sister and stuff but i don’t know any other specifically, just that i want it

17. Can you play any instruments? Which?

mm i’m actually quite good at piano, been playing a few years now

18. Favourite My Chemical Romance song?

oof there’s so many slapping songs, but like one from each album would be honey this mirror isn’t big enough, helena, teenagers/disenchanted, sing/planetary go,, and i am aware that’s basic but like there’s a reason why just those songs have become popular? they’re so damn good (and don’t at me with sing hate, it is a masterpiece and do not deserve the slanter i see on the tl)

19. Do you think Twenty One Pilots are emo?

as a former tøp stan myself can i say quite firmly that they’re definitely emo, but we need to re-evaluate what emo actually means, bc like in terms of the 00’s emo music? no, they’re not emo. they’re not like the emo trinity (lol), BUT they’re the perfect description of a modern emo band? so, no tøp isn’t emo in the old fashioned way, but yes they’re emo in a newer context,, and their stans are definitely emo i mean like come on

20. Are you into Taking Back Sunday?

nah

21. Do you wear any make up?

yeah but just casual, i’m always so amazed by people who wear lots of cool makeup every day, i could never

22. Do you have black painted nails?

lol ye always

23. Have you got any band posters? Of what bands?

mm i’ve got one with paramore that i like, and one with blackbear which is only because i likes the color schemes of it, i don’t listen to him otherwise

24. Do you want any piercings?

not right now

25. What's your opinion on All Time Low? Sleeping With Sirens? Pierce The Veil?

they’re cool i guess but i’ve never looked into them any further

26. Do you think it's just a phase or that you'll be emo/punk\scene forever?

oh the music will always live on with me, but how i think and express myself around the subject “being alternative/emo/pop-rock/whatever” will probably change as i grow into another phase of my life,, and like i’m okay with the thought of living my life in phases, and i’ll probably not be too ashamed of my current self a few years from now

27. Favourite magical/mythical creature?

i don’t really know any :(

28. Are you into Black Veil Brides?

nope

29. Do you like any newer emo/scene/punk bands? Which?

no not really i’m a quite boring music person in the sense of that i only listen to like the same five bands for a whole year,, so all the bands i’m listening to currently are releasing new music, but were created a while ago

30. What's your favourite music genre besides emo/punk\scene?

probably indie rock

31. Are you into Mindless Self Indulgence?

nein

32. Favourite Fall Out Boy song?

uh like i’m a slut for folie so like 27 or the shipped golden standard, but dance dance has always been a personal favorite

33. Are you mostly into the so-called "emo trinity" or "emo quartet" or do you listen to a lot of other bands too?

sigh i listened to both the trinity and the quartet a lot in 2018, i was a big fan of this whole trinity/quarter thing, but now do i just occasionally listen to some of them, but they’re definitely the roots of my emo path in this life

34. What's your opinion on Waterparks? Palaye Royale? I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME?

ooh idkhow are both emo/alt/pop-rock and quite new!! i forgot them earlier in this post! ye i love idkhow and their music, but i don’t really listen to waterparks or palaye royale

35. Are you into Bring Me The Horizon?

sure as hell am baby, love them

36. Favourite solo project by a emo/scene\punk band member?

right now is hayley williams solo project petals for armor a huge favorite of mine

37. Are any of your friends IRL emo/scene\punk?

um like kinda yes? or some of them have got the style but not the music, and some have got the music but not the style, so i guess it all adds up to a yes

38. Are you into drawing? If so, show some of your art!

ah i really wish i was creative but unfortunately am i not

39. Favourite colours and colour schemes?

red+black or pastel colors, i shift a lot based on mood, but my go to color schemes are dark blue and black bc i’m always comfortable in them

40. What are some of your favourite lyrics?

damn such a good question, i’ll make a separate post for it and continuesly update it with new lyrics!!

41. The Black Parade or Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge?

sorry but i’m a tbp fan, and you can’t convince me otherwise,, like i love revenge a lot but the black parade just hits different y’know?

42. What's your opinion on Paramore? Green Day? Blink-182?

well my biggest obsession right now is paramore so in short; i absolutely am in love with hayley, taylor and zac, the whole concept of paramore and of course their music+other content, even though they’ve gone through rough (or should i say hard) times

and i’ve listened some to green day, they’re really great and i like them, but there’s too much to get into and i’m not ready to be that much of a huge green day stan yet (will probably never be either) but i can absolutely casually enjoy their music and jam with their songs, without having to get into it any deeper

and for blink-182, i feel like they’re a bit too far away from my preferred genre right now, i will maybe listen to them in the future, probably not, but you never know anything for sure

so that’s all,, i love answering questions like this even though no one will ever read it and i’m cringe i know alright but it makes me feel happy so i’ll keep doing it

A little taste of the Dine Out Vancouver Festival

Last week, we were invited by our friends at Aeroplan (the Premier Partner of Dine Out Vancouver) to join Tourism Vancouver for a night on the town. The annual Dine Out Vancouver Festival is fast approaching and we were invited to attend a preview event that included visits to three participating locations. We’re careful to not say restaurants because not all of the participating establishments are restaurants. Some are pop-up locations that will host a dining experience, but are not traditional restaurants.

Our delicious evening included visits to The Vancouver Aquarium, Tableau Bar Bistro and Knightingale. It was a super fun event that got us even more excited about the 15th annual Dine Out Vancouver Festival.

Before we dive into our experience, a brief background about the festival.

Tourism Vancouver’s Dine Out Vancouver Festival is Canada’s largest annual food and drink festival, attracting over 100,000 local and visiting food enthusiasts to experience the city’s exceptionally diverse culinary scene. New this year, Aeroplan has joined as the Premier Partner because great food is not only an integral part of their members’ travel experience, it’s also an opportunity to connect with friends and family to create meaningful moments.

The festival gives diners the opportunity to select from hundreds of restaurants each offering unique three (or more) course prix-fix meals at $20, $30 or $40 per person, many complemented by the Wines of British Columbia, and craft beer or cocktails.

Over the 17 days of the festival, a delicious schedule of culinary events allows festival-goers to enjoy unique culinary experiences not available throughout the rest of the year. These can include guided dining adventures, brunch crawls, cooking classes and cocktail masterclasses, dinner and film pairings, debates, guest Chef lectures, BC VQA wine and craft beer tastings, street food markets and more.[source]

Food has always played a role in the travel experience, but these days it’s become the star attraction for many. Today’s traveler wants to connect with a city, or country, by immersing themselves with the city’s food and beverage scene. Dining at the hotel buffet isn’t going to cut it with this new generation, so it should come as no surprise that culinary tours, street food walking tours and food festivals are all the rage.

Once known as having a boring or uninspiring food scene, Canada has really stepped up its game over the past decade. Several food festivals are now hosted every year, with the most notable being Tourism Vancouver’s Dine Out Vancouver (DOVF), Whistler’s Cornucopia, City of Toronto’s Winterlicious and Summerlicious, and Tourisme Montréal’s MTLàTABLE.

These annual events have exploded in recent years, becoming the focal point for many vacations. It’s yet another reason to visit our amazing country!

Okay, enough with the backstory. Let’s get to food, shall we!

The Vancouver Aquarium

6:00 PM and 8:00 PM – 1.5 Hour Seating General Admission: $58

The Vancouver Aquarium is a pop-up location so you won’t find it under the ‘restaurants’ section on the DOVF website. Instead, it can be found under ‘events‘.

They did a great job transforming the cafeteria into a welcoming dining space. It was a complete transformation, actually. If you choose The Vancouver Aquarium you will also get to experience the Discover Rays touch pool, as it’s included with dinner. Here is the menu.

The food at this venue was my favorite of the night. Although it’s at the top of the budget for DOVF, it’s absolutely worth every dollar. Award-winning executive chef Ned Bell has created a delicious three-course Ocean Wise seafood menu that showcases the best in sustainable, locally-sourced foods.

It was hard to pick only one in each category, but below are my favorites dishes.

Haida Wild Razor Clam Soup – served with Seaweed Biscuits and Maple Butter.

You can also upgrade and get the Ned’s Famous Dungeness Crab Tacos (pictured above). They’re filled with fresh dungeness crab and are bursting with flavor.

Seafood Mixed Grill – includes scallops, Kuterra Salmon and sablefish, with fingerling potatoes, onion crema, celery root and black truffle.

Lime Custard tart with BC Blueberry & Black Pepper Compote

Tableau Bar Bistro

Neighborhood: Coal Harbour Cuisine Type: French Dinner Menu Price: $40.

Our second stop on the evening was to Tableau Bar Bistro, an updated take on a traditional French bistro. The restaurant atmosphere is quite cozy and intimate. It combines old world classic bistro elements with modern touches. I really liked the restaurant’s vibe and I loved its checkered floor.

We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was really busy, which says a lot about a restaurant. It feels like a fun place to grab a drink and share a plate.

Tableau will be offering a set menu for DOVF (See full menu here). I was able to taste the delicious menu and here are my favorite dishes.

Salade D’Hiver – roasted vegetables, charred gem lettuce, pancetta, mustard caper dressing.

‘Osso Bucco’ De Veau – slow cooked veal shank, creamy polenta, pink peppercorn gremolata.

For dessert I had the Ginger Creme Brulee – served with vanilla shortbread. No photo. I was too busy indulging (bad blogger!).

Nightingale Restaurant

Suggested seating time: 6:00 PM Suggested dinner: 7:00 PM Priece: $63.35 per person. Minimum of 14 guests, maximum of 18 guests.

For a slightly different experience, try out Nightingale’s Chef’s Table Experience. This is an opportunity to experience a unique private event with friends. Group size must be between 14 to 18 people. Only one group will be seated per night – so make sure you book early!

This experience is also found in the ‘events’ section on the DOVF website.

This dining experience is unlike most in that it’s alla famiglia style serving. Big dishes come out and everyone shares. It’s a really fun way to dine and feels like your at a big family dinner over the holidays. The menu changes each night and it’s a combination of food from the menu and one-of-a-kind dishes that are developed by Head Chef Phil Scarfone.

Since the menu changes each night, you may not have exactly what we did. Our personalized menu included the following:

Russian kale salad, roasted sunchoke, pomegranate, hazelnut vinaigrette

Citrus & avocado salad, thai basil, crispy shallots, lime vinaigrette

Roasted brussel sprouts

Salmon and the slow roasted stuffed ham

The Dine Out Vancouver Festival is a great opportunity to visit a new restaurant, taste some new food, sample a new wine and experience Vancouver’s thriving culinary scene.

The 2017 festival begins on Friday, January 20th and finishes on Sunday, February 5th. Many of the restaurants will be offering two sittings per night. Menu prices range from $20 and up, so there are options for all budgets.
