Vancouver vinyl stores:
Vinyl on hastings near Cambie
Zulu Records on 4th Ave
Red Cat on Main street
Neptoon Records on Main street
Sikora's Classical and Beatstreet (hip-hop/techno/funk) are both on Hastings near Richards
Audiopile on Commercial drive

Turns out Sikora's is less than one block from my hotel. Found some great new vinyl there. Even London Drugs carries new vinyl. Taking advantage of the USD-CAD exchange rate. Also visited Vinyl Records and Beat Street nearby. Thanks again for the recommendations.
 
Sure I'd love to bring big Tony, I volunteered way back in this thread. I am just hoping I get there early enough on Saturday as he only has one day. It might be better for someone already there. Either way, let me know, the offer's certainly there. 🙂

Thanks for the offer, Cal. Much appreciated.

Not be there early enough? Have you mellowed from your ritual of catching the 6 AM or whatever it was ferry?

Even if someone else gives me a lift or I catch a cab, I would certainly appreciate some beer space in your big cooler when I get there!
 
Tony - I'll likely be heading up that way much earlier in the morning than Cal's usual timing - i.e I'm usually on the road by 7:30AM weekdays, and should have loaded up the day before.

Closer to date, let's PM about what would work best for you.
 
:rofl:

Tony, Chris is having fun with you. He has been to my place where there is a kegerator. Unfortunately it's not portable. On top of that, I drink very little beer in comparison with the past. I have had to welcome rum into my life as beer is a double whammy for gout. Yes I will be bringing a cooler...

...or two 🙂
 
In Cal-speak that cooler or two would be "day-trippers" - the joke is that taken together Cal and Scott have been known to recycle a lot of beer, while "others of us" abuse ourselves with wine and harder spirits - Bourbon, Vodka, Tequila and not necessarily separately or in moderation 😱

so in other words, ensure your own supplies
