essines Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I am going to Vancouver tomorrow. Enslaved and Dimmu Borgir are playing Sunday night and I am so there. Dimmu is having a signing somewhere on Sunday; I was told by a friend and didn't bother asking where. Any how, this seems a good excuse to start a thread about Vancouver. Love the city. Love the Canucks. Anyone here in/from Vancouver? Any one been? PS It is snowing here at the moment, which means it is probably snowing in van city, or at least was snowing in van city a short while ago. DISCUSS or something. basically i am super stoked to see enslaved live in two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyrofen Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've been there a lot for hockey tournaments in the past. I'm more fond of the preceding 'burbs around it though. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegecow Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Lived in vancouver for a couple years. Didnt really enjoy it. Rent/everything was too expensive, found myself very bored a lot of the time. It seemed like there werent a lot of places to just hang out in the neighborhoods but ive cultivated lots of nostalgia for the city and wish i hadn't left school there.

spratters Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I went to Vancouver a few years ago. I remember tramps. That's about it. I did like the place though. It seemed very real to me. One other thing I remember was a steam powered clock that went crazy every hour. Anyone know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 got back from the tim hecker/loscil show. Good times. I live in New West, but i go all the way through Vancouver every day to get out to UBC. Rents is crazy expensive which is why I'm happy as a pig in shit to pay 250 a month and live in my mom's fully self contained basement suite. decent beers although a little pricey. Great weed for decent prices. it was snowing a fair bit, and that's coming from someone born and raised in edmonton. spratters, that's the gastown steam clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 i've been there a lot and what i see is a super big place with not many friendly people, and everybody is always busy looking. i much prefer seattle... it's the vancouver that vancouver should be.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 How expensive are the rents in Vancouver? I want examples! Good job for those who attended Tim Hecker/Loscil's performance, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 rental examples: http://apartmentguide.ca/Apartments/Vancouver/rentals.asp yek: Vancouver's not really a big city, I do think that people here are not necessarily so friendly, but that's probably because of the make-up, lots of people from all over the place come here. Once you live here for a while though, you get to know some people and it's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 From what I have heard, Vancouver seems like the world's ultimate destination for student exchange programs. This city has by far the best reputation in Canada, also. So you know you're cool when you're a young student in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and apologies to all the watmms from edmonton, but damn I'm glad I don't live there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 the world's home of hydroponics and industrial musiccc... eghhh You must be referencing Skinny Puppy. Officially, industrial music started in London, and the phrase was coined by an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
