Happy 2-4 weekend Canada

[Wezil]

I lived at Albert and Beringer for several years.

It is also Bermuda Day in Bermuda, the Buddha's birthday in China, and the 68th anniversary of the first helicopter flight in Russia.

So putting on shorts, rubbing my belly, and getting high is my plan.

Bearinger?

My brother lived in an apartment at Bearinger and Parkside last year...

My dad lived on Albert St several times in the late 70s...

[Wezil]

That how it's spelled?

I haven't been back there in many years.

I was in the townhouses on Albert (plaza side). 500 somerthing was the address iirc. 3rd (2nd?) unit from the end.

If we're talking about the road north of the UW Campus, then yes.

I read it, and that's where I got the May 24th reference from

I presumed that the latter (the beer reference) is simply a consequence of the former. If it were May 12th, you'd be drinking twelve packs

Not correct.

The 2-4 (beer) goes back as far as I can remember.

It is recently and only in some places that the weekend is referred to as the 2-4 weekend. Mostly Ontario and due to a beer company's promotions, I think.

I'd never heard the weekend referred to as that until recently when listening to a Toronto radio station, and a Labatt's commercial.

Geez the campus wasn't that far north then. A big field with only the radio station was the only thing past the hockey rinks as I recall.

That's basically what it still is -- the fields are still there. There's a couple new buildings right on Columbia, I think Optometry's new building is under construction there.

The ice rinks are called the Columbia Ice Fields. It's very clever, really.

[Wezil]

Yeah, I remeber that. A friend and I played a round of golf at the 9-hole crap course there on Canada Day one year (it was really just an excuse to get drunk) then frightened all the kids gathered at Columbia Lake for fireworks as we came staggering through...

NYE -

I'll keep it formal for you and spare you the uncouth Ontario ways...


Happy Victoria Day.

From sunny Prince George, BC as well.

Don't forget to say thanks to the ugly fat horse****ing **** that made this all possible.

Sunny all weekend in Vancouver, but all I have is a 15 pack for tonight .

A Ouija board could be helpful for that.

I've asked a Ouija board for 9 beers before. Trust me, it doesn't work.
