This is what they say about themselves: Chives Canadian Bistro has become a name trusted for quality among Halifax's dining community. Our desire to bring an extraordinary casual dining experience has set new standards for restaurants in our community. Chives Canadian Bistro focuses everyday on utilizing fresh, in-season, and local product in our menus. We look first to Nova Scotia for our ingredient base, then to the rest or the Maritimes to create our "Canadian Bistro" menus. That is why we do not serve strawberry shortcake in February! We believe that quality ingredients are essential for quality menus.
My plan is to organize a wonderful party for us somewhere downtown, with lots of treats and such, so that by the end of the night we will feel very loved by ourselves and each other (and way better off than the couples angsting and even fighting over how to "celebrate" and what gifts to buy each other). Leaving the 14th itself open though for any of us who have plans with a someone special.
Maria Osende Flamenco Company's indelible Flamenco Valentine celebrates its sixth anniversary of sold-out evenings of flamenco dance and music, returning once again to FRED. art beauty food, for three evenings only - Friday, February 12th through Sunday, February 14th. This unique perennial mid-winter event offers Haligonians an authentic taste of Spain, and is well-known as an exhilarating experience which many anticipate every year.
Thanks to the support of the Culture Department of Nova Scotia Tourism, Culture and Heritage, the company has been able to bring in guest male dancer, Miguel Tellez, directly from Spain. Dancing since the tender age of ten, he has appeared in numerous performances, not only in Spain, but around the world. Making his premier appearance in Canada, it will also be Miguel's first collaboration with the Maria Osende Flamenco Company.
Joined by the other members of the Maria Osende Flamenco Company, is principal dancer/director Maria Osende, guitarist Daniel MacNeil, vocalist (cantaor) Enrique Rojo "el Henry", violinist Gina Burgess, percussionists Chris Cookson and Douglas Cameron, and dancers Michelle Raiche-Marsden, Carmen Perrier and Colleen Power.
Spanish Flamenco guitarist Jose de La Vega, currently based in Toronto, will be coming as well to collaborate with our musical director and guitarist Daniel MacNeil for the show. Both Miguel and Jose will be offering workshops in dance and guitar through Flamenco Dance School Maria Osende between February 5-10.
"I am thrilled to have Miguel with us," says Maria Osende. "We always create new work for Flamenco Valentine, and having Miguel here will certainly add a new dimension to the evening. We've entitled this year's production 'De Jerez a Halifax' and more than ever, we'll be focusing on showcasing the key aspects of flamenco: the contrast between the male and the female dancer together with the rich sound given by two flamenco guitars will certainly transport us all to the heart of flamenco. Flamenco Valentine is without a doubt our favorite event of the year."
Doors open at 7:00pm for a buffet of appetizers with the performance beginning at 8:00pm. Tickets are on sale now from Flamenco Festival Atlantic at 492-8878 or on-line at www.mariaosende.com. Ticket prices range from $37 to $42.50 and include appetizers with a cash wine bar available.

Well.....since last year was such a SMASHING SUCCESS, and because people keep asking me.... Welcome to the 2nd annual, Cause Valentines Day doesn't have to SUCK pub crawl Sooo... It's that time of year again and for those of us who don't want to mope home alone or just plain would like to go out on the town for Valentines Day... I am announcing...the 2nd annual Valentines Day PUB CRAWL.... Those of you who attended last year know that in an effort to keep down costs...I made the shirts that said "Although I may have given you my heart....I have 3 more home in the freezer" haha And people can sign the back with the cheeziest pick up line they've used or had used on them LOL!!! Come on out and have some fun...cause Valentine's Day doesn't HAVE to SUCK.. ROFL...." To clarify...this is NOT a couple bashing event....EVERYONE is welcome :) Bar list and costs to follow....I suspect prices have gone up a bit, I will still make the shirts in an effort to keep the costs down, it will probably be between $15-20...this will include the shirt (which waives lineups & cover charges) and all other materials, it does NOT cover food or your drinks....Eating is STRONGLY encouraged but you are responsible for yourselves....I am NOT the liquor or food police. You may still come if you don't want to pay for a shirt HOWEVER, this will mean that you will have to stand in lineups and pay cover charges....If you DO rsvp YES...you have purchased and are guaranteed a shirt and the additional materials :) The rsvp cut off is in place so I'm not scrambling to make 10 shirts last minute ;)
