    For those visiting Vancouver I highly, highly recommend getting a sandwich at the Downlow Chicken Shack. It’s outside the downtown core but you won’t regret it.

    It's nice to be able to exhale.  I got a great deal on a round trip non-refundable flight 7 weeks ago from NM and booked a wonderful AirBNB a couple of weeks ago.
    Thankfully I got seats today although I would have preferred to stand. 
    I assume that an AirBNB staying with someone in their home is the good kind, right?

    AirBnBs in someone's home is the only legal kind of AirBnB allowed in Vancouver now, since the full property ones were hurting our housing market. So I guess if I were you I'd find comfort in the fact that you'll be staying with an owner who follows the rules, lol.

    If you’re lookin for stuff to do in the days between shows, consider visiting the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. Bill Reid’s sculpture is astounding, as are other works. You can get an insight into his work right at the Airport. Here is an article:

    I'm local (well out in the valley) and definitely need to check this out. I've driven by the Museum Of Anthropology enough times. It's a spectacular setting too as is the UBC campus and surrounding area. The adjacent Pacific Spirit Park is amazing, miles of hiking and biking trails.you'll  feel like you're  miles from the big city. Poke your head out of the forest and check the stunning views of the northshore mountains, English Bay and a get completely different view of the downtown skyline just 10 km or so to east. Not too surprising you can drop $60,000,000 CDN on a mansion right in this area.

    Hi all! I’m looking for one or two GAs for either show if anyone happens to have any extras available. I also have reserved pairs to trade if anyone would prefer to have seats. Additionally, I have a P1 reserved pair for Philly N2 that I’d potentially be open to trading for a Vancouver GA pair as well. Thanks! And looking forward to seeing you all at the shows!

    Booked L'Hermitage yesterday using CC points.  It's about 6 blocks away and looks pretty nice!  Taking the train up from the Seattle area so it will be nice to not have to deal with a border crossing, etc.

    My wife and I booked the Sandman just before the announcement.  Great hotel and close to the venue.  We stayed there a couple of years ago when we went to see The National.  We're coming from Calgary for night 1 only.

    If you like seafood I highly recommend the Fanny Bay Oyster Company.  Two minutes from the hotel.

    I almost booked that - but looks like shared bathrooms?
    I had a room that says private bathroom - only reason i bit on it. But they did have rooms that were cheaper but no private br. 

    Next important topic...best Canadian beer not named Labatt's or Molson!
