haha I want to see Arty so badly! He is coming to Vancouver but the main issue is I don't know how to get back to my house at 3am from downtown Vancouver seeing how the last bus to my neighborhood stops running at 12:30am and doesn't start back up till about 5:30 or 6:00 am...
I live about 45 min outside of the downtown core if not longer so cabbing would be extremely expensive for a poor student.
Why is life so cruel? (jk it's not. I have a nice cushy spoiled life.)
I'm going to Arty as well

What time do clubs and bars close in downtown VC? If you can wait it out at a club just take the bus in the AM. Designate a friend as a DD or ask a friend to pick you up. Try to find a cheap hostel that's in walking distance. Also try to couch surf.
When on my EU trip I had 24hr layover in Madrid. We couldn't get a hostel because it was the final day of the Popes youth week. Most of the bars and clubs were closed out of respect. After stumbling around the main square we found were approached a promoter telling us hes hosting a pub crawl. For 20eu we got some bomb ass paella a 2 free beers and a freed drink at every bar/club we went to (we went to 5). Ended up getting hammered took the train to airport and slept at the gate till my flight LOL.
Most events at the clubs down here end at 3am, occasionally for bigger shows they'll get extended until 4am. Skytrain & bus doesn't really start up again until about 630am..
