There was Thunder! ...The night started at Hapa's on Robson, right after work with a former colleague. Man, did we eat! I like the place...has nice mood, service was great and very busy since they opened up. We had lotsa typical raw dishes....it was funny.
Then we went up the street to Zins, which was awesome chill. We sat on the lounge side, by the bar. The lounge has a nouveau retro look, in orange and red colors, and their seating was funky, as well as comfortable. Just before we left, the Scientist and T.Kelly had joined WaPang and myself for some Thunder Thursdaying.
Then down to the Crime Lab, close to Coal Harbour. It was busy! We squished by the bar, got some drinks and then got a table downstairs right by the bar. We had some chats and drinks, the Operator joined us, and the Scientist did his excellent Elevator impression when he was just outside our table window. It was fun fun.
What would a Thunder Thursday be without crunching 5 or 6 of us in the Operator's match box? That was some good chuckles, as we drove over to Bin 941. I had never been but it was quiant and funky. It had lots of mirrors and copper that made the room look really warm. We got seats in the back corridor, by the washrooms, where there is a sit down ledge with stools. I'm telling you, sitting in that area was great way to meet people! As people waited to go to the washrooms, we would entertain. It was fun.
Lesson Learned this TT: Don't put $5 on your credit card because the server will ask you if you are from out of town. You might go red.
