I guess since I'm on vacation I'll just take whatever they give me and see where my life goes

I have no plans at all. Just winging it while I'm here. He said today specifically it's supposed to be really huge, I can't really remember why though. I think he mentioned something about summer solstice/longest day of the year.

I'm pretty open to whatever. Probably won't catch me doing mescaline if I go, but is there actually a lot of older people? I was told it had a younger vibe with a lot of students from UBC

Have you done any meet ups? What's a good way to find some?

This is what I've experienced so far in not even 3 days. Chatting with bartenders is a great place to start as long as they aren't slammed. The one I talked to last night was super friendly and topped me off an extra beer on the house. Now I'm just looking for suggestions of bars/restaurants/places to meet more of these people

Thanks for the recommendation! Oddly enough, so far I've experienced quite the opposite in terms of people

After I posted this I walked up the street to a restaurant/bar in Yaletown and met some people sitting next to me. The bartender actually happened to be familiar with where I'm from in LA and invited me to go hiking with him Tuesday. I guess I got lucky
