mrkris and I are coming up to Vancouver on saturday.

Anyone want to go out to dinner? :thumbsup

How long are you guys here? I'm fully booked for this Sat and Sun otherwise I'd be up for it :thumbsup

Btw, there's fireworks happening at English Bay on the next 2 Wed and Sats. About 300,000 people come out so it's pretty fun :2 cents:

Fun drive (not) ... hahaha can't believe you are waking me up before 5 .. bastard

:( Don't remind those of us who just moved out of English Bay...

I clicked on this thread because I'm Vancouver people at heart.

Are you gone for good? Where to if so? Sorry to see you go...

we're only up there for Saturday. We're busy until probably 6-6:30pm on Sat

Yep, for the next few years anyway... Spending the summer in Halifax, then I'm moving to Costa Rica in September.

I'll be in Vancouver for Christmas though...

Yeah and the very best part about the fireworks are the roaming groups of drunken East Indians. Enjoyable, for sure!

Wow, Costa Rica. You are really moving away. Sounds like a neat adventure for you.

I am actually going to be in Costa Rica for a day in November. I am going on this cruise from Vancouver:

Bwahaha, and he's not joking :Oh crap

bump for me.

what time and where?

I'm waiting for confirmation on some plans scheduled for this weekend, but if that doesn't pan out it'd be cool to hook up with you to get to know you!

probably 6:30ish on Saturday. Downtown Vancouver. Doesn't reallymatter though, i'd just rather not drive much further away from the border since we'd be driving home after din-din

bump for the canadians:thumbsup

FYI, downtown is mostly closed to non-residential traffic that day :2 cents:

Like other people already mentioned, there are Fireworks that night in English Bay in downtown Vancouver. Downtown will be shit packed. At least 1 million people will be watching the fireworks from all over including boats, apartments and at the beaches. Afterwards, they all try and leave, it's complete caos usually. Every street by the beach looks like oceans of people walking. Driving downtown will be close to impossible if they let you down there at all. :Oh crap

ahhhhh....SHIT!

They make for good water balloon targets...

;)

J.

I am in vancouver for this week.



And I happen to have a ocean view apartment on Beach Ave.


Who wants to party during the fireworks?

I can see the fireworks ship docked directly infront of my living room.




ServerProvider.Com clients are more than welcome to come by during the firework nights, bring friends, family its open house to all SP clients . Drinks on me :thumbsup :thumbsup

Nice, which building?

Here was the view from my place last year:

bump for the canadians :)

I have a couple buds that are clients.. :glugglug

Jervis and beach.

its a rental apartment I have here for when I visit family and friends in vancity. :)


Whoever is a client, is more than welcome to come by.

I think it is just west of Burrad Street that is closed off.

I am down for dinner on Saturday night. Give me a shout on icq at 166662831, would love to join you guys!

Awesome man. Make sure to bring the girls too :winkwink:

How are the streets downtown. In Seattle it's a fucking nightmare of like 70 degree angle hills n shit once you get deep into downtown. I drive stick so I fucking hate those things

Haha, Seattle isn't that bad :P

Most of downtown is relatively flat. It's going to be a traffic *nightmare* if you go on a fireworks night though.

Ditto. LOL

it is pretty bad sometimes. its full of jack offs that get 2 inches from my bumper on a hill that would make my car roll back a good foot or so before moving forward.

Handbrake is your friend.

Holy shit, it's hot in Vancouver today...

<< by Vancouver standards :) >>

yeah, it still sucks though :Oh crap

so who all is going to be attending at this point.. ?

are you still going even with the fireworks??

I won't be able to make it now :(

You guys just up on Saturday?

Yeah, only Saturday :(

well, if you're coming then you me and mrkris. lol makingcoin was going to come but not now :(

depends on what time the fireworks are at and how big of a bitch it will be to get back into the US after them

If it gets to slammed, then we will probably stay the night .. ugh .. but if that is the case, breakfast with MC would rock.

would it be a better idea just to get a hotel room?

bump for canada-land

Breakfast sounds great guys!

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I'd go for sure but I have company in town right now...

well, we'll be done with the BIZ part of our trip around 4-5pm if anyone is seriously considering meeting up with mrkris and I hit me on ICQ or email me at jb AT consumemygenitals DOT com and I'll give ya my cell number

would, but since i don't know ya...that would just be weird

lol. it's about networking man. :thumbsup whatever though, maybe next time
