Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters
I have the recipe. It's a very, very good drink. I can by no means afford to buy all the different things needed to make it when I have to pay for a moving truck tomorrow.
If you're interested in trying them tonight, we need:
Ice
Jack Daniels
Grand Marnier
Peach Schnapps
Blue Curaco (mostly for color)
Orange juice. Lots of Orange juice.
If there's interest, I will of course bring some of the ingredients as well. Comment on what you're willing to supply.

MirrorMask
Does anyone want to see MirrorMask at Tinseltown, this Sunday at 4:35? (Or maybe 2:10 if you can't make the later showing.) By Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean of the Sandman comics, a Jim Henson Co. production in the tradition of Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. If you let me know before Saturday noon, I'll pick you up a ticket, since it's sometimes hard getting into Tinseltown-only movies on opening weekend.

Sign my cast?
This will perhaps be my last non-morphine induced transmission for the next few days. I broke my ankle on Burnaby Mountain sunday...not doing anything stupid or dangerous...just taking a corner along the base on the shoulder and having the front tire wash out while the rear knocked me to the ground. Unfortunately, my left foot got pinned...aside from the burn of a ligament tear, it didn't seem broken...but the fibula shifted and I have to get a plate put on tomorrow. Then I'll probably be confined to the coquitlam center area for about 10 days...
So yeah, I'm off to the Royal Columbian hospital for the day tomorrow.
Just remember: mountain bikes don't kill people...random forces of nature and laws of physics do.
p.s. On the flip side, Gareth did AWESOME and rode an XC that I'd spent a week working on until the gears and brakes were better than new.

Cause i'm a toys 'r us kid
I've decided that just because i've graduated it doesn't mean i have to grow up right away. So in celebration of this i'm having a kids party at Trevors on Oct. 8 anytime after 7pm. Finger food, crafts, colouring sheets(possibly a colouring contest) and loot bags (only if you rsvp because i don't have enough money to buy stuff for people i don''t know are coming) are some of the things to look forward to.
As this party is a tribute to our childhood feel free to bring any games or movies or food that symbolizes good times from when you were a child. It has been suggested to me that everyone should bring a box of their favorite sugary cereal they weren't allowed when they were younger which sounds great to me (golden grahams are my favorite).
Directions to Trevor's are in the forum but i'll update it cause right now they're kinda vague.
Frilly dresses and bunny pyjamas are perfectly acceptable attire.

General admission
On Friday after work I plan to go to Zulu to buy tickets for at least Duke and myself. I can think of a few people here who like this band, so does anyone want in? You can buy them at ticketmaster.ca already for $30 + $8 or so in service charges, but it might be significantly cheaper at Zulu.
Also I have two spare tickets for Franz Ferdinand, Row 13 at the Orpheum, Tuesday October 4th.

Temporary repatriation
I'm in Vancouver as of tomorrow for about a week. I anticipate jet lag and a substantial amount of reverse culture shock.
One thing I'm going to have to do is eat at a lot of restaurants.
Is the Mekong on Commercial still up and running? That place was rad. Some Chinese food at a decently clean Chinese restaurant might be nice (in contrast to the Chinese restaurants in China). And I need a lunch at Thai Away Home. And some Turk's coffee. Pho at midnight. Vancouver salmon sashimi. Bubble tea! (Not too popular in Japan, too dangerous in China) Etc. Anybody hungry?
