Having spent the past month in Toronto, I'm well aware of Timmy's (which is to Canada what Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts is to the USA), and though I won't mock that, I stand by my comments re: beer. Although you can get some great stuff at the store, almost every restaurant at which I have dinner serves the same 5 beers, only one of which passes my read test (i.e. if I can read through it, it ain't beer). Vancouver should be better in that regard, since they're in the NW, where microbrews are more prevalent. Not that beer is the reason we go to BUG...but maybe I'm just speaking for myself there.
I have become a hockey fan, though (Go Leafs!). Rick On 11/27/06, Taker, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** yeah, easy about the beer. You can mock our military, weather, olympics record (except hockey), igloos etc but never mock our beer or Tim Hortons coffee. One night at the Cambie in Vancouver and a Tim Hortons in the morning and you'll trade in your American Passports faster than you can say EH!!!

Much as I would have loved to help host an event in Toronto, at least it is in Canada this year, and in a spectacular setting. Vancouver is practical in terms of getting the folks from the bay area to be able to drop by. If I can deal with Texas at 110F, the Texans can deal with the wilds of the Canadian West, even our full strength beer. At the beginning of November it should be between oh, 35 and 70F give or take. Bring your dryza-bone from Australia for it though. cheers … Daniel ------------------------------ *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Rick Cook *Sent:* November 27, 2006 2:13 PM *To:* arslist@ARSLIST.ORG *Subject:* Re: Announcing BMC UserWorld 2007 ** Well. Vancouver's a beautiful city, and right up the road from my place, but I kinda question the timing - weather can be kinda nasty sometimes in the late fall up there. I'm thinking BMC said "7.5 is due out next fall - let's time the BUG around that. Where should we go - someplace where it's warm, or someplace where it's cold?" And the Texans went with cold. They have no idea... You will want a passport, not because getting into Canada is a problem - it's getting back into the USA that can be dicey without it even now, and it will be a requirement by then. You will want a raincoat, probably one with a zip-out liner. Oh, yeah, the food up there is great, but the beer sucks.
