that's right. newly arrived in victoria. kind of. since june.
And I'm neither newly wed or almost dead!
Though, I suppose I could be almost dead...all it takes is to choke on some ground beef or get mangled by some angry crows (you seem to have quite a few very angry crows here.)

I came from newfoundland via edmonton. The differences between alberta and bc are remarkable for two provinces bordering each other.
In edmonton and there is literally a liquor store on every block.
They seem to be much fewer in numbers here.

But aside from those superficial differences, the mentality of the general population is very different. I feel more comfortable here for that reason. A little more relaxed.

of course, I haven't had any encounters with the syringe-wielding hookers I've heard so much about, but maybe that'll come (fingers crossed.)

anyway, I've found logans pub. good stuff. - Sun, 12 Aug 2007 1:45pm

Fellow Newfie here. I came from St. John's via Ft. Mac in 1996. Been here since. Now i am probably the #1 musician in town, right Ross B Ay?

Welcome to BC. Oh, and don't forget. We have to work more than 10 weeks to get UI here, fukkin bastards. I had wikkid stamps too. - Mon, 13 Aug 2007 9:36am

I spent time in fort mac to. It nearly sucked my soul dry. Having your soul sucked is one of the least pleasant things to have sucked. - Tue, 14 Aug 2007 7:10am

I do like punk music, but have not myself played its music. People always rant on about how "easy" and talentless punk music is, but I can't for the life of me write a punk song. I'm relegated to the spectator role. Anyway, its good to hear folk from fort mac are into it...that gives me some hope for the future of that sorry sorry town. Of course, if they all move out of there (as they should) it won't matter. - Tue, 14 Aug 2007 8:51pm
