/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey Gulls! I'll be moving to Vancouver soon and am trying to get my bearings on the area as a whole. What are the cool things to do and see (anime and geek related, but also in general, assuming that's allowed in here)? Any recommendations for hangout spots, shops, events, social gatherings, etc?

I'm hoping to check out Anime Revolution in August. Does anyone have any stories about that con?

Sorry to start the thread out with a ton of questions! I guess I'm just a little nervous about the move. It seems like all of the really awesome stuff is over in Toronto, so I've been a little worried about finding things to do on the west coast!

Feel free to discuss other Canada stuff in here as well, obviously. This thread isn't specifically meant to be about Vancouver alone.
