narc · #1 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

locally...

everyone has the same records, plays the same thing, same residents, same deejays, it's repetitive every week at every club...

You drink Rockstar too! :y:

This stuff is like crack in a can baby!

I went to Point Roberts and at the supermarket they had 8 cans of Rockstar but tons of Redbull and they are the same price. WTF??

I'll have to bring back a bunch from my trip to Seattle this weekend.

DJDeeb · #7 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

So Rockstar is like RedBull? hmmm i must try this drink!

**MC Hammered** · #8 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

1 can of Rockstar = 3 cans of Redbull

Same price.

DJDeeb · #9 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

:c-tard: :284: :trippin:

ash1ee · #10 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

if you buy rockstar at costco in the states...its like 5 or 6 bucks cheaper than redbull. we just picked up 2 cases this weekend!
im starting to prefer rockstar waaaaaay more than redbull.
plus rockstar has milk thistle in it which is a bonus!

haha, i like how it took no more than one post for the intital topic of this thread to be lost entirely

i think that's about how much discussion the woes of vancouver's nightlife actually deserves. none.

I had a good breaks night going but it shut down to lack of attendance. That's why Vancouver is limited, not enough people get out there and support events.

-ak47- · #14 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

I dont think it's that bad, maybe you're listening to the same few DJs? What genre(s) are you talking about?

Whatever that shits the same in every city =P

Whatever atleast we have good music here compared to what some cities in the states listen to (ie hardhouse).

WFB Saturdays at Tribeca play the finest jungle in Breaks you can find in this city and................ON A SATURDAY night. It's been lots of good times and pretty busy but we'd always like to see some new faces!

Now food, that's one thing NO one can complain about in this city! There are so many great restaurants and yes I do agree Regis makes some very good eats =)

Van Tek · #19 (**permalink**) May 20, 03

sorry, I gotta do a shameless plug now too, cuz I'm now in charge of a lounge night of my own and it NEEDS some support!
Tuesday night, Honey Lounge, right next to The Lotus Sound Lounge in the entrance to The Lotus Hotel
gettin some good funk and sass goin on :D
deep house, funky house, tribal house, progressive house, funky breaks, and even a little nu skool breaks thrown in every now and then when the owner's not payin attention, LoL
but yeah, it's free, so whoever reads this, come on down and check it out :D

Regis is a shitty chef.

There's a taco bell in squamish, too.

Regis is actually a rather good chef... whether or not you like his style is up to you

And damn, that's the one I was thinkin of... it was the first Taco Bell in BC as far as im aware

The only real thing wrong about this city is that there are plenty of different nights and plenty of different djs playin plenty of different types of music... with more people bitchin about the scene than actually comin out and supporting it... if it's not out there you haven't looked hard enough - shameless plug number three - June 6th at Tribeca comes the second installment of Funkin Mental! To avoid bitching about the scene come to this, it will help you!

Hot Karl · #22 (**permalink**) May 21, 03

it's funny when the people who bitch only go out once a month.

I actually had the chance to work with/for him for 3 months back in the day.
In Classic French Cuisine, there are 7 mother sauces.
Regis singlehandedly bastardized every one of them, sometimes mixing his bastardized bechamel with his bastardized holandaise to save money.
I have also never seen anyone treat a stock pot as a garbage receptecale quite like he did, either, tossing every veggie scrap he could find in it.

And that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Hey buddy, I eat their 2-4 times a week and guess what? His food rocks! Maybe I just have no appreciation of fine French cuisine but really I could care less.
