I can't believe that flame wars would flare up on a get together topic. <sigh>

Be assured that Canadian hospitality is still alive and well in Vancouver.

By the way, just arrived in YVR and the weather is very cool in the evening. Bring a sweater and/or coat.

See you all soon.

A TRANSPORTATION WARNING:

Due to the bus strike, getting taxis from the airport during rush hour times is extremely difficult. My friend waited for 2 hours starting at 4 pm today to get a cab at the airport. If you arrive on Friday during rush hour, it may be worse.

Flame war? Gosh...if this is a flame war the world has burnt down long ago.

I was just disappointed that we would show our out of town guests such mediocre places...that is all. I can't imagine how The Roxy represents Vancouver.
Village Idiot...who called you lame? I called those places lame.
Travelweary...why not tell us all what is lame? Why write such a reply if we don't all get to know...just to let us know you know how to email?

Looks like the planets are aligning in very strange ways this weekend. For that reason, the possibility exists that I may well be able to join the Vancouver gathering afterall. AC Weekend Webspecial availability willing [and it looks very positive this morning], I will make a final decision later this afternoon.

I apologize if it looked like I was fanning flames. That was my first instinct, but I have never been involved in a flame war and wanted to keep my record intact even if it meant biting off my lower lip. I had e-mailed VillageIdiot, and I (dumbly maybe) thought if he was keeping up with this board, he would be more likely to read his e-mail. Why Dorian took that so personally I don't know. Again, sorry.

I juess I should have gotten up eariler today and checked this thread. I do not take things personally. I'm not mad or affended. I just though, if someone wants to organize an actual plan, great, lets go(there was very little planning involved in my ideas). I can have fun locked in a wet paper bag with a stick a leaf and a peice of gum.

Although I may lack the physical strenght to punch my way out of the bag, I'll still try to have fun with the remaining items.

I edited my posts so there wouldn't be confusion over where we were going. As I said before... The floor is yours, I have become a follower.

Edited because I spelled guess with a "j" instead of a "g". Aw hell, I'll gust leave it the way it is...

On the subject of shopping, where can I go in Vancouver to shop for a Compaq iPAQ 3670 PDA ? So far I've only checked Radio Shack and Staples, they don't carry this model .

Just in case another plan doesn't come together, myself and a few friends will be having dinner around 7-8pm downtown, then heading out to local clubs that we won't have to wait in line at.

If anyone wants something to do something, you are more than welcome to join up with us the Friday night, my cell # is (Edited at the advise of someone way way smarter than I am... The Chexfan) (He might be smarter, but at least I still have my appendix!!!) Email me at
excuseme_haveyouseenmyvillageanywherearoundhere@ho tmail.com
, and I'll give you my Cell #

If another plan does come together, let me know, and I'll meet where ever the group wants to go.

As I've said before, I'm easy...again, I don't want that "I'm easy" written on bathroom walls with, "For a ggod time call..." well, not unless it is in the ladies washroom.

And where's a good place to shop for (and/or taste) Canadian wine?

And...where to get a well-drawn Guinness?

I'm e-mailing everyone (at least the ones that I have e-mail addresses for) with my local cell phone # just in case you get lost or need info. If you don't receive it and really want the number, e-mail me.
