Spring break with a teenager and Bob Addison's plan was simply: call it an adventure day. One rainy Vancouver Thursday later, there were axolotls, a Pink Floyd laser show in the planetarium, and a symphony that may or may not have been entirely drug-free.

What does it feel like when a kid who just discovered Pink Floyd sits in a dark dome staring up at a laser show with a crowd of 60-year-olds who have clearly been doing this since 1973? Or when Brahms meets Radiohead's OK Computer at the symphony and it works in a way you didn't see coming? The agenda, it turns out, was just to show up.

The no-plan plan is a plan. Fourteen-year-olds will go to the symphony if nobody announces they're being cultured. And Vancouver in an atmospheric river is apparently exactly the right weather for axolotls.
