If you've ever strolled around Granville Island to mix with the tourists and seagulls, chance are you've come across Megaphone vendor Vince, who sells the paper outside the popular Public Market. Vince, who is a big Jack Nicholson fan, says he enjoys working on Granville Island, where there's a friendly atmosphere and a good mix of people and cultures.

The Downtown Eastside resident, who also write some eye-popping articles for Megaphone about the neighbourhood's grittier side, says it's not easy to stand outside all day and sell the paper, but he enjoys meeting and talking with new people every day. "Getting to know the customers is a huge reward," says Vince.
