BATTISON GROUP 

This a sub-page of some of my new friends that I have made when I moved over to Vancouver. The name of the group comes from the street name of the house I lived on. It was an old Vancouver Special in which I lived in the basement and rented the upstairs.

In Chinese sub-culture, it is customary to refer to proper names of people by their nicknames when in an informal situation. For example, Vancouver is known as Hum-sue-fa, which literally translates to Salt Water City. Here are some of my new friends with their nicknames that they chose (or we chose for him...), If you need to contact any of these people, please feel free to email me. If you know how to contact these people or remember someone I forgot to mention or need to make a correction, please also contact me.

I have also added icons to represent some "personality" traits and "fetishes" that we (in our group) have attached to the person. The column labelled Clones is used for references in the real world, that the evil clones have gone on to become famous, while my nameless friend remains a nobody.

It was also in this small basement suite I began my life as a slum lord and inn keeper by providing travellers and friends with a place to live.

I was the leader in a dying race of the world of the Apple II computers.
I began my starting anime collection here. And in these days it was a lot of postage for tape trading. I also began working in Radio Shack.
