good time to be here, weather has been v nice of late - and for you it will be less humid and hot, which I'm sure is welcome

honestly I'm considering a move out here just for the climate

come for the climate, stay for the inevitable catastrophic cascadia subduction zone quake

Hadn't realized it was closed but I live in strathcona now so am hardly up in that specific bit of mount pleasant.
Met my wife there.

It was one of the places I feared would not survive. Now they take credit cards and the bar staff are waiters. Otherwise it's the same. Black Sabbath, Os Mutantes, Teenage Fanclub, $4.50 pints from 4-6.

That really sucks. Dandelion is a record store I visit regularly but rarely find anything, but the owners were really nice people, they are very into music and it was cool shop. Relieved the other stores on the block are relatively unscathed.

I haven't gone record shopping in years but i have a very fond memory of discovering Dandelion with a friend when I was like 15 and being so amazed by all the cool records they had there... sad to hear about what happened
