Good point .............Mainmal may want to consider some sort of concealed weapon .........perhaps poisonous blow darts?

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.

Is it illegal to take booze across the boarder?

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.

in short, yes but night one is the big one

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..

Yo there is also a duty free store about 20 seconds past the border into Canada where you can buy liquor cheaper as well.
