My first impressions were that people were unfriendly.

Putting photos up of beautiful Vancouver scenery is somehow going to persuade the destitute of East Van to improve their lives?

And now I just put up with it. When I traveled back east recently I noticed people were more willing to chit chat for example.

That's one of the main attractions of Vancouver.

Lets have a meet in Vancouver July 11 or 12 and Oink can sign us all into the Legion or we can go somewhere else. Willing to go 1000 miles for a few beer, shows commitment if not sound judgement.

After Friday night that might not be an option. :( But somewhere else should work. :thumbup:

I suppose if I had the ability to zip around in an airplane as a hobby, it would be different.....
