I'm checking with Rumbletone Productions re: tickets & show time and I'll post as soon as I find out. I'm also making reservations today with Raglan's, I'm sure we'll be able to add more people if necessary. I may have a few other surprises up my sleeve...stay tuned!! PS> Roadkutter, so glad you & the Mrs. are joining in on the fun!! (I think baby Roadkutter will be listening in on all the action)

PLT Pepe le Tiki Member Vancouver, BC Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 325	PLT Pepe le Tiki Posted posted on Fri, Jul 15, 2005 9:13 PM OK folks, here's some info! Re: The show.... starts at 9pm / tickets are $10 Re: Dinner @ Raglan's.... reservations have been made for 6pm (16 of us sofar!) Everyone is welcome to join in on all or part of the adventure at anytime. I'm going to close my store early so we can join in on the fun too (haven't decided what time I'm opening on Sunday yet :wink: ...ah, the perks of owning your own business!) Those of you that were planning to drop by the shop, the store is open to you all exclusively 3:30-5pm. (kind of a kick start to the evening's festivities) I think we should meet in front of the Seabus Station at Cordova St. & Seymour St. at 5:30pm. 2 hours at Raglan's should be ample time to cocktail and dine and that would give us an hour to get to the Waldorf for the real party to begin!

R rodeotiki Member calgary Joined: Jan 21, 2004 Posts: 1513	R rodeotiki Posted posted on Sat, Jul 16, 2005 7:17 PM Well it looks as if I am not going to be able to road trip with the other Alberta boys. Work and Family commitments are wreaking havoc on that idea. But the good news is that since I work for a Airline I am going to try and jump a flight out on saturday morning and then fly home sunday some time. Where I am gonna sleep will be worked out later( i have a few options). For you guys in Vancouver how hard is it to get to Funhauser from the airport or the the seabus to meet with everyone. I may have to waste time during the day if I fly out early that day, If anyone has nothing going on I would love to meet earlier and see some sites with you. Look forward to seeing everyone ,I too have a surprise to bring with me....

The beach is always an option :wink: (i'm kidding) You can rename the Alberta boys' road trip "The Dwindling Party" -- we're down to two. But now there's lots of room in the car for all the tiki mugs and Witco fountains we're going to find in Kamloops.

T Tikiwahine Tiki Socialite Victoria, BC Joined: Apr 09, 2003 Posts: 3295	T Tikiwahine Posted posted on Sun, Jul 17, 2005 12:44 AM Rodeo, from the airport you can take a public transit bus, or a PCL coach bus down to the bus station which is very close to chinatown & the sandman. Maybe some of the mainlanders might have another idea?
VR Velvet Ruby Member Vancouver Joined: Nov 22, 2003 Posts: 117	VR Velvet Ruby Posted posted on Sun, Jul 17, 2005 3:10 AM I think there is also a hotel shuttle bus that will take you right downtown (maybe that's the pcl bus? I'm slightly drunk right now so I may not be thinking completely clearly..) as long as you're not a serial killer, I could also potentially scoot over to the airport and pick you up.. I don't mind. .. (as long as you're not a serial killer... bad juju on you if you are..)

PLT Pepe le Tiki Member Vancouver, BC Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 325	PLT Pepe le Tiki Posted posted on Sun, Jul 17, 2005 9:42 AM RT there's the Airporter Bus: http://www.yvrairporter.com/ The #3 bus will get you to the Sandman for $12. From YVR to downtown, it's about a $25 cab ride and $3 by transit bus (1 transfer). Velvet Ruby, I'll vouch for him!

That would have been wonderful news for me if this event had been posted more than a month in advance (and the above info only a week before the event). I'm sure you would have had more people coming in from out of town. I'm not trying to blame anyone but this is very frustrating for people like myself who have been looking forward to seeing this place for a long time. I would have planned a trip there if I had known sooner but I can't afford to just hop on a plane any weekend. Flights to Vancouver right now from the Bay Area are around $400RT. Please in the future give us more advance notice if at all possible.

R roadkutter Member Vancouver, Canada Joined: Oct 08, 2002 Posts: 84	R roadkutter Posted posted on Tue, Jul 26, 2005 11:13 AM For those of you that may be in town on the Friday night looking for something to do I know of 2 GREAT traditional Rockabilly-Roots Bands that will be playing at The World Famous Marine Club, 573 Home Street. Friday the 29th, Cousine Harley, The Pete Turland Band will be playing the Marine. I have seen these guys a tonne of times and it's never a letdown. Cousine Harley (aka Paul Pigat) has earned a reputation as one of the best guitarists around. His style is deeply rooted in the playing of Les Paul, Charlie Christian and Link Wray with a modern hotrod twist. Pete Turland has played with the likes of Ray Condo, Pinetop Perkins, Harpdog Brown, Wanda Jackson, Sonny Burgess and the list goes on and on. (info from website) Sorry about the promotion but these guys are friends and are truely amazing. It's probably a 7 dollar show for 2 bands... only 3.50 a band, not bad!
