So walking to the Elementary school to play with my kid again yesterday and can confirm the first 3 people I saw selling parking were all $10's so the rate does in fact exist. That's pretty damn good if you ask me.

Again it's hard to define worth for PNE. To each their own, nostalgia, eating some foods that only exist at fairs, playing fair games, rides, just a day to shoot the shit. You seem like you want to so just do it!

People complain about how Vancouver is a no fun city, but they don't take advantage when there are seasonal things like this.

Although beers are $8 the price of entry and a couple beers is enough to kill an evening
Also the dueling pianos is excellent and it's completely free. I'd pay entry just to watch them for the night

I think vancouver just has too much selection to do but people just don't fuckin' wanna do it.

doubt it as Playland continues to operate after the PNE closes.
Went again last night, like the 5th time so far, Dueling pianos great once again, Gypsy kings pretty good
Had a slice of pizza from the place at the top near the prize home, fucking $6 slices of pizza but was decent, good dough but toppings lacking.
Later in the night when i was half cut had some of the Amsterdamn fries by the upper concert stage, although its just fries with mayo the fries were hella fresh and garlic mayo was good. Great drinking food and honestly probably some of the better food at the fair lol
Going back tonight for some heavy drinking as finally have a day off tom!

Well to be honest it ain't so bad, generally I'm totally cool with buying cheap ass $9.99 Zara or H&M plain tshirts. There's a time and a place where I'll drop the big bucks on a quality winter jacket or something without hesitation but I ain't ballin enough to go crazy on everything nor do I want to because spending like $200 on a tshirt for example sounds dumb.
Back on topic, traffic for PNE has really picked up this last week after yet another slow start.

As long as we don't have to say RIP to you anytime soon, it's all good. I think I've been to the PNE at least once, every year.
