I will be there on May 14th-17th.

Looking for some people to maybe meet up with or find out what's cool to do while I am there.

Thanks!

What I was looking for is, maybe some cool shopping areas, music stores(I am into punk/emo/HC, stuff like that), import shops, hangouts, etc..

Strips clubs are cool and all.. but most all of them are alike.

ahhh! now I remember.
I think I have that Maxim issue. I'll dig it up when I get home.
Good info.

Thanks for reminding me. You have done your good deed for the day.

Mike - Give me a call and I can show you around. 604 657 4699

Most of the stuff you are interested in can all be found downtown. A&J is in the south end of the city in a suburb call Richmond (it calls itself a "city" but really it's a suburb).

I should have my car back (cage install!) by then so maybe we can go for a boot too.

Is the exchange rate really that good?
I'm looking for an exhaust system for my 92 CX.

Good for Americans who shop in Canada with the exchange rate now, it kills us when we convert CAD to USD

Today's Rate is:

1.00 USD= 1.56781 CAD

You get dinged with provincial (7.5%) and federal (7%) tax on everything.

Smokes are like 8 bucks a pack - beware

there's lots to do, it depends what you're looking for.
If you're into outdoorsy stuff tehre's tons, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, etc etc
If you're into shopping check out robson street
and like mentioned before go to a&j as i think they're one of the few shops that actually keeps stock.
Hmm what else, check out http://www.mybc.com for upcoming events maybe a concert or something. Seattle is a 2 hr drive away, Whistler is a 2 hour drive away.
I can't think of anything else at the moment. Oh yeah be prepared for the world's worst drivers... i thought driving in chicago was scary, but people are jus plain idiots out here

AJR and the Chinese food in Richmond should be enough to put you in debt

U gotta get Phat Bastard or one of the AJR boys to take you to try steamed prawns, BBQ duck, maybe a little ono choy

BTW, did you put that NWA coupon to good use?

Try Montreal,you'll never look at a srip club the same way again B.C. is not bad too... Monty's in Victoria, B.C.

All the clubs I went in the States look like kindergarten... I remember a place in Houston... Gilrs were dancing with stars on the tips of their breast...

Enjoy your stay!

Sounds good.. but here's the deal..
I won't actually be in Vancouver. My mother lives in Lynden(sp?), WA.
We're probably going to be there in Vancouver during the day, unless someone wants to drive to Lynden to pick me up and show me a good time at night(*******!), then give me a ride back.
My mother said it's like 40 minutes to Vancouver.
So if someone's up for it, I'll pay for gas, a lap dance or two, and some beer.


$8.00 a pack?? JEEZ! Better stock up before I leave FL. Only $4.25 a pack here.

I was in Toronto last summer. The exchange rate will definitely be to your advantage with U.S. dollars. People are mellow and the weed is good. Cigarette boxes show some sick "warnings" of what smoking can do to you.. Good luck MILF hunting up there..

May 17 S/L JOBRITE AUTO Fri (Night) Street Legal Drag Series #5
The street legal drag races are on.
Come out and see the what the northwest has to offer for quick imports.

I also recommend that you hit the Seawall in Stanley Park (Vancouver). It's a cool ride/walk/jog and it will give you a chance to hook up some fine assed Vancouver women.
Just remember, when they ask, you're an FBI agent with hookups in the movie industry

No way!
She lured me into her clutches with carbon fiber parts, promises of a hoist in my workshop, and the desire to drive a WRX wagon. Women like that don't come around very often.
