NEDS ON A CANADA (AND ON A SONIC YOUTHS)!!!

holy shit, really? send me an email...

True, true.

OK, so FAPpage reports...

Vancouver, pre NoMeansNo, LeCoq will be in town! Hoping to see him. Also bill drone/a/saur will hopefully come? Maybe Sym? rrrrobyn? derrick? Anyone else? (the latter two have never done a VanFAP before I don't think..)

I'm thinking Nikko on Burrard would be a good central meeting place, although if you guys want to avoid downtown and try to meet at Caffe Calabria on Commercial Drive, that's always a great place to hang out.. you have to buy something to get a seat, but they have the best coffee and gelato anyway, and lots of big nude statues.

Seattle, pre Sonic Youths: Jaq and Mr. Jaq are IN! I believe our mutual friend christofu is in as well. Anyone else seeing Sonic Youth at the Moore this Friday? We're thinking of meeting somewhere in Belltown before the show, for obvious reasons. Maybe Belltown pizza? Maybe Noodle Ranch? Wasabi Bistro if sushi is still on everyone's mind? Ohana, if you just want to get blasted on huge tiki drinks? (They have appetizers there too, last I checked.)

dress appropriately for the commodore will be an oven.

btw:: before the show, either of the vera's[denman or cornwall in kits] would supply you with THE best burgers i have ever eaten ! [just nowhere to sit and eat 'em ;)]

Portland is indeed quite warm.

but anyway, someone has to give Nedly a westcoast girly hug for me :)

Aw. :-) Someone will oblige. Like LeCoq, for instance.

Anyway, off to the train station shortly and up to Seattle and etc. Will be hanging with Donut and some mutual friends tonight, rah.

Ned and Vancouver made sweet love. LeCoq was the Chauffeur. Sym was the Nightporter. Nomeansno were the Wild Boys. I was just the Luxury Gap.

We go back to Seattle tonight, point being:

FAPPAGE PRE SONIC YOUTH SHOW...

Going idea: Wasabi Bistro! In Belltown, on 2nd and Bell in belltown/downtown, just north of Bell, on west side of 2nd. It's a bit pricey but great food. If still too pricey pour vous anyway, just eat something before and come by to say hi or just get a small appetizer or drink or something. They also have noodle dishes as well as sushi. Come even if you're not seeing the Youths.

Plan is to meet around 6pm. This is the soft deadline. Someone (namely me) should be there to hold a big table by then.

Sonic Youth/Moore Theatre is just a few blocks south on 2nd ave from there.

E-mail, Chris? I have heard of it.

wait, you were in montreal..?

Meantime, I have, finally, uploaded all my photos and sorted 'em out. So go nuts:

Portland, outbound

Seattle

Vancouver

En route to the San Juans

San Juan Island

Shaw Island and the Wasp Passage

Orcas Island

Minor Island

Portland, inbound

...and as an unplanned coda, Salinas

And there you go!
