Is that a gay term ? You have to be careful down there.

Despite the rivalry and the random skids and hippies, Vancouver is definitely a great city to visit. There's a lot there I'm jealous of.

If you want to slum, is the Only Seafood Cafe still open? Decent food while you can soak in the ambiance.

Or head over to the Roxy to see Patrick Kane is there. If he isn't, you might have to settle for hanging out with Shane O'Brien.

Googling THE fox...oh I see what you did there. Would have been pretty funny telling my wife that no no I checked CP and they said it is THE fox not the blue fox.

Thanks for all the ideas, definately a few of these I'll have to check out between rioting, curb stomping hippies, and letting the Sedin's ponies out of the barn. Just for good measure I think I'll bring bees from the main land across to van island just because they say you can't.

Downtown East Side, but only if you have MS or Cerebral Palsey...

Joe Fortes is awesome if you like seafood and fresh Oysters.

Also I thought that Ben got into trouble at Brandi's.

It was bugging me that I couldn't remember if you mentioned the dates you would be in town or not. On Saturday will be the last day of the fireworks competition.

robbob - you never said exactly when you are going...

i recommend a trip just after new years so you can stop by the 'laser pointer pavilion' (or whatever they now call gm place) on january 5th and watch the flames beat the 'nucks!

Lot's of local and eclectic shopping on Commercial Drive.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned: East Hastings St. is a must see.
