Default Vancouver, BC: Need a place to stay 10/28

I and someone pretty are attending a shindig and U2 concert on the 28th October. Do we have friends in Vancouver, BC with a place we can rest our heads for the night? Digs are pretty booked-up....

You forgot to mention that the two of you will also be dressing up for the event.

Sorry H, I am out of town. Not sure about the rest of the folks, and the local group I dont think pays too much attention to this board.

Heinrich... Not from Vancouver but visit the city several times a year. If you are interested, we always stay at The Meridian at 910 Beach. Its an apartment hotel and therefore reasonable cost. Right on False Creek, two minute water taxi to Grandville Island, Twenty minutes water taxi to BC Place. I only mention this because we were to go about the same time and there were rooms and suites available.
( www.910beach.com )

Hi H, Sorry I am not set up for guests but have you tried Priceline.com? Using "name your own price" you should be able to book the Marriot/Hyatt/Delta downtown for $75 (plus tax). If you want to save a couple bucks stay by the Van Airport (Richmond) a 2.5 star hotel (Coast) should be around $45 a night (plus tax).

Does anyone else wonder what sort of stuff Randy looks at on a daily basis, for him to whip that pic out of his a$$ so fast?

Dude, you emailed it to me last week trying to decide on costumes for this gig.

I said 'Go for it, Batman!'
