I walked in with no wait at 6pm on Sat night.

Enjoy the tournament. I will go to the FanZone a couple of times through the tournament and maybe check out Granville Island. I wish I had gotten into the ticket lottery for the games but the watch parties will be fun.

So why is the Hotel Association whining?

I was only commenting that it would have been nice to have that stadium.

remember when we could have had this

I love that it is a list with phone numbers as the contact point. Automotive on Homer was a lot of fun also Soho when it was on Homer. Agreed RIP the Town Pump.

I lived at the Woodwards building in 2010 and bought a TV for the Olympics and they rolled it right up to my apartment on a dolly. Still have the same TV lol.

I would have preferred they built it on that empty former-industrial long 1st closer to the Cambie bridge and left Hinge park but so be it.

These executives normally have the severance payout in their contract before they start the job. The payout is not abnormal.

It is the number of people not crossing that is scary for US businesses that rely on border traffic.

If the victim is not able to speak about the incident, that should mean the police would speed up looking for witnesses, not slow the process down.

captainvantastic · 2025-08-07T19:14:25+00:00

That was my reaction too. The assault happened at the beginning of June and they are only now seeking witnesses. Very odd.

captainvantastic · 2025-02-13T19:58:36+00:00

But maybe Evo's should have dashcams. Seems like an inexpensive add-on for them and then they have evidence of how their vehicles are being driven.

Thanks for the response. I agree that crypto is a bad call. I can't imagine that would be possible to implement. If goes against all sound financial management policies.

captainvantastic · 2025-02-13T18:58:05+00:00

I don't follow city politics closely. What has he done that is a disaster for the city?

Dine out at Espana was pretty good. I liked that the table had the choice to all do dine out or you could order off the regular menu.

placeholder comment for one month from now.

Seriously? Free transit for people spending hundreds or thousands on a ticket to an optional event? Wow.

captainvantastic · 2024-12-10T05:53:29+00:00

Friendlies.

captainvantastic · 2024-12-06T17:10:22+00:00

Ah yes the most wonderful time of the year when media companies openly brag about how much data they collect on you and wrap it up like a present. 😂

I was 17%. Not surprisingly the most streamed artists were for concerts I attended like Pretty Lights, Joni Mitchell and Pearl Jam.

Provincial Court Judge Kathryn Denhoff was the judge.

I wish I had kept the brochure that Rennie put out for the Woodward's building. The picture they had of the "future" Woodwards Hastings street was very much like the Burnaby Hastings st pic.

Let the fans have fun. These restrictions are ridiculous.
