What a disastrous weekend for my well being. Vancouver was hard on me once again, but I do it to make sure you know what you’ve missed, so my liver should be mad at you, not me.
Friday night Yaletown Hot Fridays was awesome, it kicked off around 4pm, I have to admit I missed a lot of it since the guys at clubZone were giving away free beer upstairs in their office. When the beer was gone we moved over to Charm Thai Resto and drank a bunch of Singha. The buzz at Charm was great.
After Charm we moved to Glowbal for a bite, it was slammed there, almost impossible to get a table…almost, but we did, ordered a bunch of satay’s which were great as always and took off.
After Glowbal we moved on to Deuce Bungalow, which was as always, but at this point I was finding it hard to stand strait in a busy room, so after one drink we moved on to Ginger62 which was also a great night, Canthrill did it again, super hot crowd at Ginger on fridays. Check it out.
On the way home we stopped at The Edge on Granville street which had a great buzz since it was open till two for food, which is amazing, the food though…. meh. I had the burger, which I wasn’t into but before I get into the food to much I’ll wait till I go a few times.
That was friday. Saturday was a completely different monster.
Once I finally woke up on Saturday at like 5pm I got my shit together and went with a few friends which included Rollan B and Allen Trottier from clubZone.com at some Japanese spot in Richmond (Manzo I think) and ate live prawns, that’s right, they were still kicking and scream while I was sucking the juices out of the back of their heads. Yum.
The Prawns were still kicking in my mouth...video to come
After that we went to the Variety Children’s Charity fashion show, auction and concert at the River Rock Casino, featuring Danny Fernandes and Elise Estrada. We got in a little late and left a little early but the people that were there were having a great time and and all bidding for a great cause.
Being, well, me…. I was still hungry so we all hit Circa Resto Lounge on Granville for some food and drinks before the night really started. we had the Pork Confit with Shanghai Noddles and the Beef Tataki and Gnocchi, both are awesome dishes. After food and a few libations we moved onto Tunnel Lounge for a bit to see Ayla Lei and the Cherrylush girls do their thing.
When the night was just about we decided to pop into Pop Opera Nightclub for a bit to check it out, said hello to Martin Rivard (GRM of Pop Opera) and Paul Stoilen (GM of Pop Opera) had a few drinks and called it a night as quickly as possible since the club was packed and I was on my fifth night of madness in Vancouver. I was done.
Sunday was good and relaxing, chilled out most of the day, hit Deuce Bungalow for a bite early on and then went to David Lam park to watch Ghostbusters outdoors with half the city, it was a fun time. Check out this list of outdoors movies happening.
Tomorrow is the grand opening of The Refinery Vancouver on Granville. Tonight Republic has a great new Monday but I’m going to chill out and watch Harry Potter.
Until the next time Vancouver, Regards.
