Hi, I'm from Calgary, and visited Vancouver for Einstuerzende Neubauten in May (excellent show).  Now I'm just poking around because I visit the west coast (Vancouver and/or Victoria) at least once or twice a year and it would be fun to keep an eye on what goes on out there.  It's good to escape this brown dried-up husk of a city and enjoy someplace more humid once in awhile.

And a question for the locals:  What the hell is that weird big store in gastown that is almost empty, has security guards at the doors, big windows overlooking the ocean (inlet, I guess), and $600-$2000 pairs of jeans and/or head-shop-looking T-shirts?  Seriously.  What the hell?

Aww, come on calgary isn't that bad :p Not as bad as Lethbridge, it's nice to see someone from Alberta that goes for vists to Vancouver too. Somehow I suspect we're a rare breed :P Annnnnyways bye ^^''

Hi and welcome...

And I had no idea that we had such a store in Gastown - holy crap.  It must be new.  I'll bet I'm right in thinking it's near Steamworks and Waterfront Station - because that's the super-tourist area of Gastown (actually it extends a bit further east than that, but I'll bet you a dollar that's where it is).  I have *got* to see this.

One or two (maybe 3) blocks east of steamworks if I remember correctly.

As an aside, I looked at your website just now, and you probably don't need to hear it - but your paintings are really nice.
