Until surgeons figure out how to fuse the human brain with a high-capacity flash drive, mankind will continue to record every moment on a pocket-sized slab of limestone. Turn your slab of limestone into a bound memory book with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get $100 worth of photo books, cards, and calendars at Picaboo. This $100 credit comes in USD and may be applied to products, the 3% surcharge for orders outside the U.S., and shipping costs.

Armed with Picaboo’s free photo book, card, and calendar-making software (Mac- and PC-friendly), digital pack rats can easily create photo books that will grace coffee tables until the tables naturally dissolve into table paste. Picaboo’s highly customizable interface allows anyone with human hands to organize an artsy album and show it off with a broad range of high-quality books, such as a glossy, laminated Classic Custom book (6″x8″, $15.99) and a plushly padded, subtly stitched Regency album, available in black or British tan (8.5″x11″, $69.99). To impress a local postman or mailbox burglar, Picabooers can opt to create custom cards ($.59–$2.89 per card depending on stock and quantity) by integrating their favorite images into artfully inspired designs. Customizable calendars are also available, enabling users to personalize square-shaped days with both text and images ($19.99–$29.99).

The intuitive Picaboo software lets users drag-and-drop photos, insert witty captions across more than 300 pre-designed page layouts, and personalize your own picture book using tens of thousands of available backgrounds. Once you’ve prepared your custom photo book, Picaboo gives you the option to share a copy via email or order a hard copy in a variety of book sizes and different levels of invisibility.

Founded in 1919, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra enriches Vancouver with interpretations of classical and popular music at 13 performance venues. Music lovers get to hear the sonorous synchronization of the VSO’s musicians and conductors throughout a diverse schedule of performances, including pops concerts and celebrations of Bach and Haydn. An army of woodwinds, strings, and brass joins forces with special guest musicians throughout May, including violinist Augustin Hadelich tackling Sibelius on May 1 and 2 and pianist Alessio Bax interpreting Mozart on May 7 and 9. Most shows take place at the VSO’s home in the historic Orpheum Theatre, a former vaudeville house and designated National Heritage Site where many a prime minister got a start in ventriloquism.

Groupon customers will receive A section seats at the Orpheum Theatre, orchestra seats at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and Centennial Theatre, and general admission seats at the Roundhouse Community Centre.

New Look Laser
12888 80 Ave., #118A, Surrey, BC
7239 Fraser St., Vancouver, BC
http://www.newlooklaser.ca/

Today’s Groupon: for $79, you get one laser fat-reduction treatment at New Look Laser (a $300 value), with locations in Surrey and Vancouver.

New Look Laser teams up with noninvasive technology to perform an array of body-sprucing light-based treatments designed to tighten and smooth clients’ outer coverings. In the clinic’s 40-minute LipoLaser sessions, a certified technician targets subcutaneous pockets of fatty tissue using low-intensity, multilaser probes. Diligent light beams, armed with precision and a go-getter attitude, work to break down fat cells so that they can be absorbed in the blood stream and flushed from the system like B-list mobsters. The procedure doesn’t cause bruising or swelling because the equipment addresses fat cells using photochemical effects rather than heat. Requiring neither injections nor sacrificial Cheetos offerings, the treatment shouldn’t result in any pain, and patients may see visible cellulite reduction after a single session, though a standard protocol consists of two sessions every four to six weeks.

Valid at 28 locations.
http://www.bcaa.com/

Make driving a smoother affair with today’s Groupon: for $43, you get a one-year membership to the British Columbia Automobile Association (an $87.25 value).

A not-for-profit member-services organization affiliated with the CAA and the AAA, BCAA’s basic membership gives grown-up go-karters the reassurance of 24-hour roadside assistance. In the few instances when BCAA’s crack technicians don’t have the answer to your automotive algorithm, they will organize emergency towing to the nearest well-armed repair shop up to four times a year. As readable tea leaves make less than accurate navigators, the club doles out handy maps, TripTik routing guides, and TourBooks to render North America’s byways a navigable cinch. Basic membership also grants roadster wranglers discounts on home, auto, and travel insurance, as well as hotel stays. Member drivers also earn CAA Dollars at Husky and Mohawk gas stations and apply the quasi-dollars to any BCAA product or service, which makes filling up on fuel as a postsnack afterthought a doubly sound investment. New ambitious buggy runners can also apply today’s Groupon toward upgrading to the BCAA’s additional membership levels, including BCAA Premier for serious travellers and the Rocket Package for Alpha Centauris.

Five Star’s veteran captains, crews, and onboard naturalists guide excursions through Pacific waters frequented by pods of killer whales and a supporting cast of marine all stars. For three hours, veteran captains steer 35- and 40-passenger catamarans through the brine, inviting passengers to plant their person on any of their four viewing platforms to spot whales hunting for Victoria salmon or practicing the pirouettes for their synchronized jazz routine. Besides killer whales, oceanic sights may include any number of salt-water junkies such as seals, otters, and dolphins. Passengers maintain homeostasis with the aid of heated cabin, an on-board inventory of haute-couture jackets, and free guzzles of steamy hot chocolate. Tours leave at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. daily.
