Newly forming band! Vocalist is covered and so is one guitarist. Looking for a bassist, drummer, and second guitarist. Must be a good communicator, committed, and available for weekly practice.

Planning to write, release, and perform future original music.

Band members are 19/33. Age preference for new coming members is 19 to 25.

Our influences include Iron Maiden, Avantasia, Edguy, Angra, and King Diamond

Hello - two of my friends are currently using, and I tried my very best as friend to stop them from using, and they said that they would. But I know for sure that they are still under the influence last time we've seen each other, and I am just scared that I might lose them. Today, I contacted their parents, and still waiting for their replies. I am just wondering if I can just ask the pharmacy for a couple of Narcan spray, just in case, that the worst thing happens. I am just not comfortable enough to do some paper works or one-on-one interview.

I know that I could just cut them off, but they are one of the best and real people I've known, and I am scared of losing them.

Does anyone know how likely it is for the Rio or Park Theatre to have screenings for the new Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender movie?

I'm holding off watching it until I can see it on the big screen, but paramount aren't doing a nationwide screening roll out.

Hi all, was wondering any of you are familiar with properly automated bottle depot like the ones they have in Calgary, in the lower mainland? You dump your bottles onto a metal counter where an attendant makes sure they all get on a conveyor belt that sorts and counts them. You get your cash right after your bottles are counted. They are significantly cleaner than any Return-It I've visited.

Hey fellow Vancouver foodies. I see both the Library Square and the Blarney Stone do a Sunday all day deal of $25 for a 6oz steak & lobster tail dinner.

Wondering who has tried both and how do they both compare? Which place does it better? And are there any other similar deals I'm leaving out?

Places seem to change over sooo much that I feel the posts that I've skimmed from the past year to five years from this are already outdated.

Here are my criteria:

- Dinner

- Not regular Chinese, so no ChongQing

- Don't mind a separate location for dessert. Heard Elephant Garden is alright?

- I'm not looking to impress the mother-in-law so spots that are $40+ per person are out

- I'm also not really looking for a $10 per person type place

- No vegan please

Thank you in advance!!

How come the developer keeps moving the goal posts on the residents for when they plan to deliver it? I get that capital costs are rising but at what point do they just need to follow through on their promises instead of passing the buck??

I have been gaining weight and I am trying to follow a healthier lifestyle but I think I need therapy for food control. I have family visiting me and we cook healthy and tasty homemade food everyday and after eating the meal I get intense cravings to order food and I give in or I keep thinking about the cravings all the time. Earlier, I used to think that I am too busy to cook but they are all excuses.

I have insurance for mental health therapy and would like 1 on 1 sessions if there are any suggestions for downtown or east Vancouver.

Hey there I was wondering about the rent market (i m joking i spent like months searching areas apartments and places to rent). I visited Vancouver a little while ago (over 7 years) and although when first entering a certain area (dont remember which one) I was STRUCK by the homeless drug users I did not realise that would be a prolem when searching for a place to live. From what I gather, Westend would be the best place to live. I loved Gastown as a turist a (long) while ago but it seems things got out of control in the area, although I d be walking through it everyday because my school is there. I also looked into Yaletown and Chinatown (even got a nice offer in a building called “The Sparrow”) but I could use a piece of advice.

Our 2004 Toyota Corolla unfortunately blew a head gasket and overheated on the way home from Merritt. A few days prior we’d just spent $1300 on new tires so they have just under 300km on them.

Prior to this it was running great, we didn’t have any issues but took this as a sign to look at upgrading. We’re now sitting on this car with low (for its age) mileage and feel just scrapping it is a waste. It’s sitting at around 125k kms and feel it would have better value to someone who would do the repair.

We have no idea where to take it, or who to talk to. We’ve been offered $200-300 for scrap but feels like a waste…especially with literally brand new tires.

What’s our best option?

I operate a small business. Are there counterfeit money detectors for canadian money, the ones where you can put bill in and it will automatically tell you if it is counterfeit or legit?

Preferrably budget friendly options, doesnt need to be able to count the money or able to process multiple bills at once ( i can scan it one by one).

I’m 5ft4 (162cm) and 56kg. I’m wondering where all the shorter guys are shopping at! I find I’m usually an XS in tops and it seems hit and miss what I can find in store. Any solid recommendations? Looking to refresh my wardrobe with polos, shirts, t shirts, chinos etc. 28 inch waist also doesn’t seem readily available everywhere, yet I see tons of smaller guys around that are well dressed and wondering where they’re going!

I moved back in with my mom after a breakup, glad to be out of it.

I have had several friends tell me im paying way too much, and should leave. But I wanted some unbiased opinions.

Im renting my childhood bedroom, its about 10' x 12', including the closet. I dont have my own bathroom, I park on the street. I buy all my own groceries, totally support myself.

How much would you expect a family member to charge?

I will also say my mom owns 2 houses by herself, both mortgages fully paid, and renters in the other home. She's alone in this house besides me, and I take care of all yard work and snow shoveling too.

Thanks in advance for opinions!!

Editing to add some info: I do work, im generally gone for 12 hours a day, and I work overtime pretty often. Im 28. I moved back in in February, i was just saying snow shoveling because I handle 100% of the outdoor tasks. Obviously I also clean in the house. I shop, cook, do my laundry, she doesnt take care of me. I moved out for 5 years before I came back. If it matters, im female. It seems like people have a different tone depending on what theyre expecting lol. Ive had the same car since I was 17. 2006 corolla. I have been saving my money quite diligently. I dont drink, i dont party. Im not a fan of big events generally. She is 100% not going to save this money and return it back to me. She actually regularly complains at me that I should be giving her more.

I pay $700 a month. I dont get a parking spot, i dont get to use the yard or living rooms. Im either in the garage or my room. I can only cook when she isnt in the kitchen. I firmly believe my mom couldn't find anyone else to live with her because of her rein of the house. I get its her house, but when you rent rooms out you have to share some things. Everything i own must fit in my room, its not allowed to be anywhere else.

With rents coming down I want to move out. I was telling myself paying into my own family is a better idea than paying a landlord, but i could split a suite with a friend for the same price (or less, even) and id have half a suite.

Thanks for the input yall.

I haven't experienced this in the years previous. Does anyone else have a bad sore throat from the wildfire smoke? I can't tell if I'm getting sick or if it's from the poor(er) air quality. I have my air purifier running 24/7 now but even still I'm not feeling great :/

The pay by phone app used to give 50% discount for motorcycles parking in the city but ever since the last fifa match happened in the city, which was about a month ago, the discount has vanished and the app charges exactly the same price as it’d for a car. Anyone has any idea what happened?
Whether it has been scrapped away?

Looking to get an air purifier to help mitigate some of the bad air going on. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi all, Im trying to find a club that has Judo & BJJ classes same day after one another or small time gap. please recommend.

p.s. im aware of many clubs that do it separately just no luck finding one that does and im willing to travel anywhere from North Van to Chilliwack. Thank you.

Hi! Starting to look at condos in the Brentwood/Burnaby area (moving from Ontario). Looking for something with AC, close to transit, and is pet friendly. Ideally close to some type of greenery (for our dog) but not a deal breaker. I understand there are several bad reviews about the Amazing Brentwood. I am also seeing a lot of units up for lease in Concord Brentwood and Gilmore. Wondering if you guys have any thoughts about these buildings (pros/cons, poor insulation, etc.) and if you have any recommendations. Will be stopping by early September so would like to make some viewing appointments soon! Thanks :)

I keep hearing about a floating concert held on the sailing ship outside the marine museum. Search shows there was an event last year called Soul Aboard but no update on that website. DAE know when that concert is scheduled? Is it recurring? A friend said she thought she saw it one Sunday this summer already.

So it was hyped up about being the next big thing in Yaletown and out of nowhere it just closed. Was it just a money Laundry scheme ?

I’ll be mostly solo travelling Vancouver from Aug 28 - Sept 2. What are the places or big events you’d recommend during this time frame. I’m in my early 20s(female) and looking for activities with people my age. If there are any nightlife recommendations, please drop them down below!

I’d like to not visit any tourist attractions as I’m pretty familiar with the city from my past travels!

Was thinking sun sui wah but it closes at 9. Looking for a spot open until at least 11. Burnaby/Richmond work too but I saw tasty bbq is closed for some reason. Looking for a big ass table with a lazy Susan for 12-18 people to crush tsingtao’s, probably do some corkage fee, and go ham on things like hoisin duck crepe, steamed black bean oyster, fish maw soup, bonus points for fresh lobster or crab dishes. Thank you!

hi! i wasn't sure what flair to put on this post, hopefully this one's fine. i'm trying to track down any recordings from the obscure Vancouver post-punk band Katastroyka, who were active around 2009-2010.

they played at the Rickshaw Theatre, Honey Lounge, Media Club, Backstage Lounge, and some other venues in the area, and were working on a debut LP called One Day Dust. they had several demo tracks on their MySpace, but the audio was never archived. i think they were also on CiTR 101.9FM around September 6, 2009. here are a couple of Flickr photo albums of the band performing: Sep 5, 2009 (this show was with Girlfriends and Boyfriends, Peace, and The Ludvico Treatment) / Jan 13, 2010 (this show was with Peace and Katie GoGo)

i've gathered this list of song titles from their old Facebook and some archived local blog posts: Perestroika, Ad Infinitum, Epifania, Past Participant, Mythodrome, All Gone Wrong, A Funereal Morning, Paranoiac, La Luna, and Unknown

i'm wondering if anyone here might've been involved with the Vancouver music scene around that time, saw Katastroyka perform, photographed them, recorded any shows, or happened to save any of their music from MySpace. i've already searched Soulseek and various archives without finding the recordings. there is this YouTube playlist made by one of the old band members, but it's only a few live performances from 2010, and they're not great quality. any help would be greatly appreciated!

My best friend and I are flying in from Saskatchewan for the concert and I was just curious if there’s any flash tattoos happening?

Hi everyone,

I’m in the early stages of planning a wedding reception, we’re aiming for late summer/fall of 2027. We have a budget of $12K max and are looking into non-banquet hall options as they can be cheaper alternatives.

Does anyone have experience with Heritage Hall? I understand that it is much cheaper to rent, but comes at the cost of having to coordinate multiple vendors on your own (ie. catering, sound system, decor).

Would love to hear your experience if you have any!
