A Community At Play: The Vancouver Side

Mar 5th, 2013 - Broadsheet 360

To launch the conversation about Community this month, we felt like it was imperative to first look to our own community.
It didn’t take long to find the creators of The Vancouver Side, a widely popular, hyper-local video blog that highlights a range of small businesses, non-profits, events and community members.
The brainchild of Gary Bock, Jim Mains and Harrison Lynch, The Vancouver Side, launched into the vlog-o-sphere in April of 2012 and quickly became a hub for...

Christmas in the Couve

Dec 28th, 2012 - The Columbian

Local dudes Gary Bock and Jim Mains have a new Vancouver Side video out, “The Christmas Gift,” in which they get schooled by Santa on the meaning of holiday.
During their quest to find Christmas in the Couv, they visit with editor Lou Brancaccio, AKA the “Curmudgeon of The Columbian,” who they are surprised to find was infused with holiday spirit.
(I didn’t watch this when it was filmed on Tuesday. I was advised by co-workers who sit near Lou’s...

A Fun Blog

Dec 16th, 2012 - The Columbian

There are good blogs and bad blogs. And then there is The Vancouver Side.
OK, it's a good blog — but I like it because it's fun. Along the way, it informs us on neat community events, local businesses and our friendly politicians.
Community conquistadors Jim Mains and Gary Bock do the heavy lifting here. They venture into the nooks and crannies of our neighborhoods with a permanent smile and a zest for all things good.
I made a cameo appearance in their latest video. (If...

Tossing the Sausage

Sep 28th, 2012 - The Columbian

As someone who grew up attending Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church and obviously attending the Sausage Fest every year, I get a little annoyed with the jokes about the name of the Fest.
I mean, c’mon, my daughters were baptized at that church.
So I threw up a little in my mouth when I finally watched the latest “Vancouver Side” video bylocal dudes Jim Mains and Gary Bock.
Jim grew up a good Catholic (Gary is an Episcopalian, or “Catholic lite” as...

Buddies At Battle

Gary Bock and Jim Mains take friendly competition to a whole new level

May 3rd, 2012 - North Bank Magazine

Meeting at Downtown Vancouver’s Java House for an interview a week before Christmas, both Gary Bock and Jim Mains are on the phone. When they finally end their respective calls, the two quickly begin bickering over who should have happier holidays.
“YOU have a delightful holiday.”
“No, YOU.”

This is the team that brought Vancouver its most successful, and possibly its first, guerrilla...
