The West Coast will be a part of my life for another year and then I am going to leave it all behind.
I tried to live in Toronto in 1998 but, it was the wrong time for me to do so. The job market was horrible, the vacancy rate was really low (.02%) and the Conservatives were in power in Ontario. When It didn't work out there I moved back to Winnipeg and then 2 years later I landed here in Vancouver.
I almost left Vancouver 2 years ago and I kind of regret not leaving. This city has never really felt like "home" to me. Actually, living in Vancouver has felt more like a "stop-over" (if that makes any sence).
I have a girlfriend in Toronto who is a total blast. She has been trying to get me to move there for the past 3 or 4 years. Back then (two years ago) I had the cash, lack of furniture and motivation to move but, I didn't do it. Now when I look back I feel that I missed my window of opportunity.
She and I are always in contact and she keeps telling me that I can stay with her when I decide to leave Vancouver (I feel that time is coming soon).
I have met some great/wonderful people here in Vancouver. The West Coast has given me some great experiences but, I now know that my heart is in the East.

We used to go to Toad in the Hole, until it got flooded during some crazy storms this summer. It's currently being renovated, but the upstairs is still open. I've played there with my band (upstairs), and I used to go to the Hole with work friends every once in awhile.
The Crypt is still there and going strong, as far as I know. The Die Maschine comes and goes, it becomes different bars, then reopens as Die Maschine. I think there's still 80s night, but I'm not positive.
We (Nikonjustice & I) live in West Broadway. He works at Carlos & Murphy's, so he walks to Osborne every day. How long will you be around at Xmas?
Mick actually works at Carlos now, and Shilo is still there on Friday nights!
