Damn, it does look a bit like that doesnt it? I assure you my hand is merely out of shot to the side, holding the front cover. Of course, you're free to imagine me wanking over Spider-Man if you so wish
Hey glad you enjoyed Avenue Q! Sorry we didn't chat, I'm rubbish like that
Woah I'm trying to sort out a trip to Vancouver in Jan or Feb! I've been there 4 years on the trot so far! Check out the hook-up board, they have a meet every Sunday in Vancouver I think
As for places to go, ummm... err.... check out for any gigs going on at ticketmaster.ca.
There is Stanley Park, the Aquarium. Shopping. Gas Town. This and that. On the way up to Whistler there is Shannon Falls. You can rent out a boat at horse shoe bay, there are often sea lions on the rocks.
I think I'll ski this time, almost killed myself snow boarding last time!
I'll be back in Alberta by the time you get here. For Vancouver, the downtown/stanley park area is always worth a few hours. On the North side there's a place called Grouse Mountain. They have a small ski hill on it. It's got a gondola to take up and offers a pretty good view of the surrounding area.
Vancouver Island has Victoria and Tofino. VIctoria is just a cool city to visit. Tofino is a beach community on the west side of the island. It's got a few great beaches for surfing.
