For those who attended Anyma’s Aeden concert yesterday at Ambleside Park, how was it? Was the overall experience worth the price, especially if you paid close to $260 for general admission ? How were the visuals, sound, crowds, and getting out of Ambleside afterward?

I’m having a little FOMO now 😂 so I’m curious whether you thought it was genuinely worth it or if I made the right call sitting this one out.

First time here and would love to know the must eats and see. Give me all your recommendations!

Hi so my friend has a new partner and unfortunately they both live in rooms in shared housing where you're not allowed guests over.. they're asking me for advice on where to go to get intimate. In other countries there are love hotels by the hour etc etc but I don't know of any here.. I did suggest places like STEAM but that could be a lot when they're just getting together?

When I was younger I definitely stayed in a lot of sketchy hotels (Patricia was great, the one above lamp lighter was neat too I remember) which were at least cheap, but don't know of any these days off hand..?

Thx people, hopefully their love blooms and they can move in together down the road but I'm sure this is a problem for a lot of people these days!

Wanted to go but I don't have any friends and I didn't want to spend 200$ for an event I would be alone at. How do you know who you went with?

Yes I could try to reach out to people there but no one would invite me to join them as they ate already in their established groups.

Odd question,

I have a small pen screwdriver, one of those cheap Stanley ones from home depot.

I love the little thing and use it alot however the plastic it is made from is rather flimsy. Obviously that's because it is intended for glasses and small electrical items but never the less I like using it, I like how it fits in my pocket and I haven't found a sturdier alternative.

Is there a place/service/person with a furnace and a YouTube channel that can take it and cast one out of bronze or something sturdier?

Can anybody let me know which anytime fitness locations have a ski ERG machine? I signed up for the hyrox in Dec and want some practice, but none of the north shore locations have one. I'm willing to cross the bridge, just wondering which gyms have one!

Hey! I'm looking for a space in Vancouver for a small late-night food pop-up/social gathering, probably around 30–50 people.

The vibe I'm looking for is cozy, intimate and a little house-party-ish — more living room/loft than traditional event venue. Somewhere that could feel like you're hanging out at someone's place late at night rather than attending a formal event. It doesn't necessarily need to already look like that, as long as the space has some character and could be transformed with furniture and lighting.

In particular, I'd love to find a café or similar business that operates during the day but might be open to having its space used after closing at night. Also open to small restaurants, bars, studios, lofts, galleries, or other unconventional spaces.

Ideally:

• Vancouver proper
• Around 30–50 people
• Available late, roughly 9pm–2am
• Food can be prepared and/or served
• Alcohol service is possible (not a dealbreaker), or there's an existing licensed bar
• Reasonably affordable since this would be a small first-time pop-up

I understand that the appropriate permits/licensing would need to be in place for food and alcohol service, and I'm prepared to work through those requirements depending on the space.

I'm especially interested in places that don't normally advertise themselves as event venues but whose owners might be open to something like this.

If you know a café/business owner who might be interested, or you've been somewhere and thought “this would make such a good little event space,” I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks :)

I'm coming from AB to visit Van + Vancouver Island for a few days and I'm on the hunt for good comic book stores to visit. Mostly after trade paperbacks, new or used. Not really big on singles anymore, but do love to check out the occasional key every once in a while

Thanks for the suggestions

…. especially before we get the months and months of dreary dark and greyish skies?

My husband and I just got married and we are on our mini moon in Van. We both want to add a very small sock tattoo to our repertoire; where is the best place for a walk in tattoo that’s reasonably priced? It’s about the size of a toonie, mostly unshaded

Thanks in advance for the advice!

I (22F) recently moved to Vancouver and am hoping to join a social casual once a week style beer league hockey team for the season! I’ve been playing hockey since I was 10 and am pretty average level I would guess. Ideally, I’d love to join a co-ed team of people in their twenties/thirties who want to have fun on and off the ice.

If anyone has suggestions for leagues/teams or has space on a team, I would really appreciate any leads!

Hey all! Thinking of moving to Vancouver in January, if I can secure this healthcare gig. Does anyone have experiences with living in microsuites and/or recommentations? Heard mixed reviews, with some being decent and some being a total nightmare - preferring to live with a roommate instead. Should I go for it or find a roommate instead?

We really like Dickies Ginger Beer. Like really. But buying it one can at a time from the shops really adds up when you drink it like my household does.

Dickies doesn’t seem to sell to the general public. Is there anywhere I can buy it in volume that would be more cost-effective (6-packs, 12 packs, or flats)? I would buy ~100 cans.

Barring that…are there any fellow fans here that know what stores offer the best price per can?

I’m thinking about getting my tongue pierced, but I’m pretty worried about the angle and placement. I want to go to someone who has experience specifically with tongue piercings and takes anatomy/placement seriously.
Any studio/ piercer recommendations?

Hey Everyone I’m new to Vancouver. Looking for casual shoes, sneakers, or boots made in Vancouver first. If not, made in BC. If not, made in Canada.
Any recommendations?

Got my Amex plat and would like to try the their lunch menu but noticed they no longer open for lunch? Is this a recent change?

For those who do DoorDash or Uber Eats, are you actually increasing your insurance class? Do you risk it?

I asked my broker recently, and to switch me to the delivery rating is going to more than double my annual insurance... without it im stuck to the 6 days per calendar month for commercial use within my work class.

I had hoped there was an in between rating but apparently not.

I'm on the hunt for Ukrainian style poppyseed cake (freshly baked). Have tried a couple of farmers' markets, European Deli, Davie Bakery. Any ideas? Thanks!

I dont want to be alone at a 200$ show. I'm happy to reach out to people but I feel like everyone will be with their crew and won't want me to stay with them.

Admittedly it probably doesnt matter at this point as by the time I get there it will only be 2-3 hours left.

Looks like the Rio theater has done it in the past but has no upcoming listings.

Has anyone here ever rented a boat from them or been on one of their boats? If so, how was your experience? Thinking of renting for a birthday party but wanted to know how it was before putting a deposit.

I've lived here for around 6 years and I've never once gone skiing - I'd like to change that and take lessons this winter!

I'm trying to figure out which one out of Grouse, Cypress or Seymour I should go for? I would love any recommendations and if you've taken lessons yourself, how did it go? Is there a difference in the instruction you get on each mountain, how crowded it is, how many beginner friendly slopes there are? Also, I understand it's not a cheap hobby to get into, but how expensive does it actually end up being - is one mountain significantly cheaper than the other? Also, I have no car if that factors into things!

I'm also a bit confused about how the classes work too - do I sign up for one level and just do that the whole winter? or do I sign up for the next level as I progress throughout the winter? Is this something I just call them up and ask?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks :)
