Ain't that the truth eh:P that's the one thing I hate about where im living right now(parksville/qualicum beach bc). I cant stand the whole bubble vibe where nothing fucking changes and everybody is so spoiled to shit. If I didn't have my seasons to Mt. Washington or my edge card for whistler I would of been bored to shit.

Shawnessy is sooo far away. And it's rough, that's just the earliest for me, since I'm not back in Canada until the 19th (?). I want the Edmonton folks to come down, people in the southern Alberta area to come, everyone! Unfortunately, I don't know how much floor space I can supply for the travellers.
