Sweetness!!!

[myagi]

thanks guys - really looking forward to it....vancouver is much closer to my usual gigging region so it just makes sense anyway, but on top of that, im really excited about living on the west coast anyway.

yup....looking for a place in the coquitlam / burnaby area with my gf...i acutally like that area quite a bit, its got pretty easy access to the airport and thats all i really care about....plus i dont want to live downtown per se. did that in toronto for a few years and im tired of it - when you spend your life going out being reclusive at home is a really nice bonus!

coquitlam is close to the airport?

no, its got easy access though, the skytrain from what i gather can get you pretty close and when i was at the airport a few weeks ago i noticed them installing a station there. if its anything like ontario though, that pretty much means that if im lucky it will be finished by the time im a granddad.

[Carrie]

that skytrain isn't supposed to be ready til 2008/2009 or something for the Olympics

oh well, whatever :) i know thats the region im heading to anyway. i live over an hour from torontos airport right now and i certainly dont mind the commute. cabs get expensive but thats the price you pay i suppose. regardless, its not downtown and thats enough for me :)

[myagi]

wicked, thanks for that link :)

map from "Coquitlam" to the Vancouver International Airport.

by car it's about an hour.

if you want transit, try www.translink.bc.ca for our transit system. there is a route locator and all that

[mekim]

meh, you can make the airport in just under 35 minutes from riverview heights in coquitlam if you're scared about missing your flight, trust.

[Carrie]

I think he'll be working at the airport.

and depending on the time of day it might take longer because of traffic

no, i dont work at the airport, i just fly usually 4-8 times a month for gigs. living in toronto was a pain in the ass that way, zoned taxis racked up about 300 bucks a month in commuting to / from the airport which is a pain. ive done the coquitlam to the airport route quite a few times now, my girlfriend lives out there, but i didnt have any info about mass transit yet.

[Pennywise]

Best news Ive heard in a long time!

I hope to see you out at lots of events this year!

[Caps/\L0cK]

ITS ALL LIES!!! RUN AWAY WELL YOU CAN!! ITS A CONSPIRACY FOR AN UNDERGROUND TORTURE RING RUN BY CAMELS!!! RUN AWAY!!!








Just Kidding, good luck here in Van. :)

if driving isn't an option: if you end up living close to the skytrain at lougheed mall, you can always skytrain downtown & then catch the airporter bus. that'll cost $3.25 for the skytrain & $13 for the bus. taxi's to the airport from coquitlam are pretty fucking expensive.

andrew: i'm lindsay's friend mike from whistler (now in vancouver). me, linds, emmerson, carrie & you all went to the bukem & conrad show last winter up in whistler. i'll have to come check you out next time you're playing.

Right on! Yeah, that was a fun night - im actually in Whistler next weekend (fernie friday and sat nights) at Tommy Africas - probably going to stay a couple nights and relax, drink rum and go inner tubing. Get in touch with linds, be cool to grab drinks.

andrew: stuck in vancouver till the bukem show, we'll meet up sometime soon though. have fun in whistler for me.

[Grapes]

Myagi!!! Stoked to hear you're gonna be a Van City local.

You might want to try living in Richmond, where the International Airport is located. It's about the same distance from Vancouver as Coq, and yes we are working on putting up the transit line which means you'll soon be able to scoot from Richmond to d/t in like 20 minutes.
