ok so me and my girlfriend are back from vancouver...
i have to recommend priceline.com to anybody looking for cheap hotels. especially if you wait till the day befor you want to check in. depending on how booked places are you can get really cheap rates at four star hotels. me i dont really care how many friggin stars the hotel supposedly rates but i do have to say - if its gonna be the same price id rather stay in a nicer one. just dont touch the booze in the little mini fridges. they have magnets under the bottles so even if you just pick it up thay charge you for it. i guess this is to keep you from replacing it? the valets sorta gouge you for parking i think. im perfectly capible of parkin my own damn car but what ever, it was sorta fun pretending to be richy pants. they looked at us kinda funny cuz we really didnt have any luggage to speak of - everything fit in one bag. i think the huge windows in our room over looking downtown was pretty cool though
we spent tons of money on bath bombs then went and ate sushi off of little boats as they floated past our seats. bought some shoes then walked down to gas town just to see if anything was going on. wasnt really in the mood to score dope so we just walked around mostly and laughed at the statue of "gassy jack". ended our evening in some fratish bar drinking alcholic milkshakes called "the panty remover", befor we passed out watching knight rider on tv
im not sure how but appearently something about the way we looked seemed to make it appearent that we were from seattle. ( i swear neither of us were wearing flannel) my girlfriend seemed to think alot of the people we saw in vancouver were dressed "nicely" so we guessed we must have looked "dumpy" by comparison. i dont really know, or care too much. it was just odd is all.

Everytime I go they say, "So, your from the States, right"? We must have a certain smell or something?
Nah, it's just the accents and the clothes I think.
Either way, I'll do everything in my power to have a good time for us both in Portland!
One of these days I'll drop a copy of the Von Bondies at you work for you, K?
Say hi to the Little Lady for me.
Later.

I havent been to Vancouver in about ten years. I like it there
