Anyone coming to Vancouver, British Columbia this fall?

Greetings! I live in Vancouver, Canada. We'll be hosting the Canadian Open next week, as well as the World Junior Championships in October. I was just wondering if anyone from Badders will be coming out to play or watch!

Hello Banksy, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of Banksy.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
’neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of Banksy.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand Banksy's, maybe more.
Banksy talking without speaking,
Banksy hearing without listening,
Banksy writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of Banksy.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like Banksy raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of Banksy.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the Banksy God they made.
And the Banks flashed out it’s warning,
In the Banks that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway Banks
And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of Banksy.

What do you think Banks?

Hi Michael -- My son and I watched the finals at the Canadian Opens last year and it was AWESOME! I'd say, about 150-200 people were watching, not many by international standards -- but it meant that everyone had a great seat to watch the tourney. Lots of international players, from Asia, the UK, USA etc. Someone went to watch today, and posted a message on my son's board:

Regarding the World Junior Championships, they've never been in Vancouver before, and I've never been to one -- there should LOTS of international players there. I expect attendance to be good since their Box/VIP seats are selling out already. My son has played with some of the visiting players who have come a bit early to visit... it's gonna be awesome.

Hey Lyphane... if you're gonna hijack my thread, could you at least write the original poster (me) a haiku or something? ;)
