So, I had my sick, sorry ass dragged to Vancouver yesterday, and it was definitely worth the pain and agony. First and foremost, driving in Vancouver isn't nearly as bad as I had imagined it would be. I had to take a cruise through Downtown to get to our hotel at about 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, and yeah it was a gong show, but not an unexpected gong show. Driving back the next day (Saturday morning) was even easier, although I did manage to take the long way (Marine Dr) to Horseshoe Bay and had to backtrack to get into the ferry terminal (made the 12:30 sailing with 3 minutes to spare).

Then there's what we got up to. Friday afternoon was the Vancouver Aquarium, which I've posted some pictures of and might post a few more tonight. The Aquarium itself was awesome; I hadn't been there since I was probably 5 or 6. I had to buy more film in their gift shop, and man, ouch. $30+ for three rolls of Fuji 800. I was surprised they still had film in the gift shop, and grateful too, but ouch. Was totally worth it for some of the pictures I took, however. We got the best seat in the house for the dolphin show too.

Then there was Friday night and, lo, Pendulum at the Commodore Ballroom. I'd never been to the Commodore, and I have one word: fukinawesome. Pendulum was AMAZING live. I danced, and danced, and then danced some more. There was over 1000 people in the place, and it definitely felt like it. Was up until 2, and then went to bed with "Tarantula" stuck in my head. So awesome.

Saturday morning was, well, ugh. Sore, tired, and a little confused. I had to pick up my pictures from the Granville LD because I thought it would be a great idea to have them developed there instead of at home. Then we had breakfast at Cafe Crepe (that was excellent!), and proceeded to get lost finding the ferry. :) The rest is history.

T'was a great weekend. All that's left to deal with now is "Spring Ahead". Ugh. I like sleep, thank you very much.
