Visiting Vancouver this Veek (and next). Vould you like to vine and dine vith me?

Hello VanDopers!

I’m going to be in your city this Friday, until next Thursday. It’s my first trip to Canada. Yay!

Anyone free for weekday dinners or weekend brunch/lunch/dinner?

Oh. The other Vancouver. Well never mind then!

Well, sure! If nobody else responds, pm me. (And EvilTOJ, the [del]lesser[/del] other Vancouver is only a few hours south… come on up!)

Yes, I learned there was a Vancouver in WA when I almost booked the wrong flight.

Thanks, I PM’ed you. Interesting occupation you have listed in your profile. I would like to learn more. And perhaps I could regale you with SDMB folklore.

Are there many Vancouver dopers?

I can free up a night, apart from Monday and Thursday. What part of town are you in?

You lucked out, weather-wise - October is not nearly this nice, most years.

Well, going by this thread, it appears that the VanDope population has gone up 50% this week.

I’m in downtown. Yeah, weather’s great and city’s beautiful.

Let me know what evening works for you. I just made plans for Sat night, and Dr. Drake and I are still playing phone tag to figure out when to meet.

Who knew international voice roaming to Canada was so expensive? $0.79 a minute. Signed up for a 20MB roaming plan for $24.99, and one Google map search took 2.7MB. So I can do one Google map search a day; you guys better give me good directions :slight_smile:

This happened more than once during the Olympics.

Have just checked messages – I’ll give you a call later today. Maybe Tuesday evening, to include Larry Mudd and give anyone else time to check in?

ETA: Will text, to save your roaming bill.

Hi, xash. We enjoyed meeting you in person — sorry if we over-walked you. Was the visit successful in the end?

Thanks, Dr. Drake. It was great meeting you guys too. And thanks for showing me around. Was a fun walk :slight_smile:

Yes, my trip was was all good. I’m definitely coming back to Vancouver sometime; it’s just so darn beautiful.
