Kicking myself for not moving in with my parents for a month and renting out my suite for astronomically prices during the World Cup. But… aren’t we all? It’s also pretty nice to have a safe haven during all the pandemonium.

Don’t kick yourself for missing out on this one! It’s your last chance to win a pair of tickets to the show of your choice at Vancouver International Jazz Festival! Jazz takes over the city from 6/19-7/5 with world-class artists like Tomoki Sanders, Keyon Harrold, and SHEBAD. Free and ticketed events around the city with an eclectic mix of jazz, soul, funk, experimental, and global music. Who knew June could get even better?*
