    i changed my flight home (via seattle) to april 1st even though i had heard the rumour about eddie... i figured whatever i'm seeing him twice already.

    but i mean... if none of my flights are delayed and i came straight from the airport i could make any show downtown i'm sure if i went in late.

    thx for letting us know.

    I really don't want to go through the 27 pages on this thread, so, quick question:

    Is there a pre-party being planned for night 2?

    nope but the cambie is rooooooowwwwwwwwdy !!!! The bar actually separates after 10pm so if you dont want to be bothered by locals there is a section ONLY for people staying in the hostel...
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Two-Buck Chuck is actually $3 or $4 dollars per bottle now in WA - but if you're still interested, I'd be glad to bring you some across. Cab? Merlot? Chard? Shiraz? I have no need for a sponge LOL but wouldn't mind a drink at the Kingston.

    Well, we'll be on Richards Street, so I'm sure we could find a "date" for you without too much trouble...

    omg...when I was 19 and a couple of my teenage and very naive girl friends went to Canada to beat the WA drinking age and go out partying - we went to Richards on Richards. Took us two hours to figure out the deal. Soooo embarrassing!

    Dicks on Dicks? Actually, back in the day it wasn't so horrible inside, it was all the hookers outside that were the problem...quite the stroll, that's for sure.

    As for pizza Cree....Zaccary's on Oak Street - the OTHER side of False Creek...I think they deliver...Best pizza anywhere! When we're over there for the Ed shows, hubby and I are going there a much as possible! We used to live around the corner and yeah, that was mostly where we ate dinner!!

    So I was wondering who is staying where in Van for hotels...
    Turns out I need accomodations for the evening with my friend.
    I dont know what I was thinking... driving 4 hours to Peachland home would suck ass.
    the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...

    same bar? Early start as well? I doubt that considering the hangovers everyone from Night 1 will have...

    Oh yeah I figured i wouldn't need blow darts, maybe just a taser or a large stick. I stayed in a hostel in Vancouver once before and it was so loud... More so then any other hostel I've been too. But I forget which one..
