Do you have a secret place? Certainly tourists wouldn't know about this place - it's called Bin 941. It's on Davie Street, and when my friend Peter and I come from L.A., we always have to go to the Bin, as we call it. Tiny, tiny little place; the bar has enough room for about four people, and eating, you can seat maybe 20. But the food is great - it's prepared in a little kitchen that everybody can see. Go there for a glass of wine and some tapas, if you can sneak in.

What's one spectacular memory of the city? My wife and I got married on a boat with about 70 people on it. We sailed from Granville Island out into English Bay, in between downtown and Kitsilano, and right into the Pacific Ocean. As we were coming back in, there were hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach cheering and there were balloons. And we thought, This is amazing, and on our wedding day. What is this? And my brother turned to me and said, "You know, only you would choose to get married on Gay Pride Day."
