Well I think it will start out with a walk around downtown, checking out the new developements and such. Then after all the skyscraper stuff is out of the way we can drink!

You can drink anytime, but how often can you meet and drink, at the same time?

I've got a nice little flask to bring along.

Anyhoo, I'm in :cheers:

OK, kids, I'm thinking of booking the ol' standby, the Century Plaza.... good idea? ....when we were youngstrers, we'd always go there when in town for a concert, it'll kind of bring back old memories....

Jada, do you have an unofficial list of (confirmed) attendees?

worldwide
June 15th, 2005, 08:56 AM
if theres an official list, make sure im on it

VicHockeyFan
June 15th, 2005, 04:19 PM
^ so let me get this right, you want to be on the OFFICIAL list, but not the UNOFFICIAL list?

Jada, for security purposes, will these lists be kept on opposite sides of the continent? If we had kept them both at the low-water mark, they could well have been wiped out last night by the tsunami - now that would have been a REAL disaster....

jada
June 15th, 2005, 06:58 PM
That fucking tsunami. I love how I didnt hear anything about it until I heard the announcement that the tsunami warning for the west coast was called off.

Yeah, well that could have been too late.

Anyways VHF, dont worry about the official/unoffical list. I am living well above the sea level so my list will be safe from any impending tsunami doom.

thats right, whats the point of an unofficial list?

^ The unofficial list is exempt from government access via the Patriot Act.

Koz

VHF, where are you shacked up during your stay?

worldwide
June 17th, 2005, 04:54 AM
so the government will find out that someone of legal age is going to drink beer and take pictures, i can live with that, ps im not trying to start any arguments, cheers

Koz
June 17th, 2005, 07:20 AM
^that's suspicious activity, drinking alcohol and taking photos of highrises. Yup.

Next think you know you're approaching the seaplane docks and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out your intent. See?

jada

I think I have holidays at this time so you can put me on the unofficial list!
However if Koz does not have a flask for me when I come I hope he can tell me of a great place to buy one!

Koz
June 21st, 2005, 07:16 PM
Nope, that's not me, I'm a bit paler although I have been known to carry a boombox on my shoulders. But no, I'm not that guy who walks around downtown with a boombox.

I will try to secure several flasks nanaimo, we shall see. I might swipe a couple off VHF once he passes out.

looks like you guys had fun, too bad i was working. did you go to the cambie? 9.75 pitchers

jada
August 22nd, 2005, 02:28 AM
The cambie isnt the proper place.. too loud and not the right scene for some of the people at the meet. Instead we went to Steamworks, and the prices were alright.

Hey Nanaimo Bars we didn't see you. It would have been nice to have another person from the Island. I came over from Parksville that morning.

Nanaimo Bars
August 22nd, 2005, 08:42 PM
Yes sorry Dylan, I was really looking forward to this meeting too! :(
I had a bit of a emergency come up to disrupt my plans. As I was all set too go. Hope all had a great time weather was not too hot for the long walk.

I hope all had fun and understand these do not come around often but plan to attend in the future.
