G&P Hit the West Coast March 2015
-
Paula and I have to be on the West Coast in March. Paula managed to route us thorough Vancouver, so we'll be hitting Whistler for a few days. @derivative666 will likely be sleeping on our sofa whilst we are there. Seriously can't wait.
After that we'll be in Portland for a while. We are being joined by @Chris , it'll be great to hook up with him and Julie again.
On Saturday 14th from about 6:30PM we will be at White Owl Social Club . We'd love for you to join us there…..
We'll also be at Self Edge just hanging with out with @tmadd in the afternoon from about 3PM, so may see you there too.
Let us know if you'll be around.
-
I will be in Giles suitcase and @Seul will be in Paula's
-
That would make the visit more interesting, but I'm fairly certain the Geneva Convention limits the number of bald bastards that can be carried across national borders.
-
I'll come down to the Self Edge and meet up with you all for sure!
-
Really looking forward to this trip.

Probably immigration and the (often somewhat hysterical, I find) national security might have objections, too!

Whistler and Portland are nice. Aren't you going to see your sister in Calgary (I think)? Short flight from Vancouver, driving not recommended at this time of the year.
Many different kinds of beer in Vancouver and Portland. Don't forget the local coffee shops.
If in Portland, don't forget to try BlueStar donut (if donut is your thing). Never been to Voodoo donuts (very famous), but BlueStar is pretty good. Give their chicken on a donut a try, it is weird, but it is an experience. Enjoy the trip. -
Thanks a lot for the hints @Omega Man . I saw Lucy at Xmas, that is more than enough for one year…....
-
No california on this trip G-man?
-
I hope whistler still has snow for you guys…..it's been a terrible winter unfortunately. I think I'll be in Kamloops while you guys are here but I'd be happy to give some resturant, coffee, drinks reccomendations if you are going to be in Vancouver for an extended period of time.

A friend of mine lives by Whistler and told me to cancel the trip. He said they have no snow and conditions are better in the east coast right now. Just my luck. I'm headed to the snow mecca and the conditions are horrible.
-
You could just come to Portland instead. You could drop in at the Skogg gym with me, which will mitigate some of the drinking we'd do with Giles.

BlueStar over VooDoo any day… and I'm friends with VooDoo's owner, so that's saying something.

Just route your itineraries through Colorado, we've been getting hammered with snow.
-
Don't forget Diesel, he's coming too. So now you know it's a real party. He loves White Owl.
-
It's getting close, pray for snow

A recommendation if you and Paula like a good wine. try Rombauer Zinfandel for the red and Chardonay for the white. I usually don't like white wine, but this is a great one, and the Zin is great as well. From a Napa Valley winery.
