*sheepish* i still have no idea how to get to UBC via transit, Carson (table top mgr) is giving me a ride in every day, seeing as i'm crashing on his couch
Depending on where you're staying...you'd take a 41, a 99, a 17, or a 4 bus.
actually... i have no clue... O_O
but i'll keep that in mind! thanks tr0tsky

Haven't google maps transit directions hit Canada yet?

probably, but the only transit i'm comfortable with in Vancouver is the skytrain.
they need a skytrain to UBC. that would be swell
There's the 99 B Line from Commercial-Broadway or Broadway-City Hall stations which goes straight to UBC, or there is a second UBC express bus that leaves from VCC-Clark station.
Just get off at one of those stations and catch the bus that says 'UBC'. :winky:
Well I've been a little busy with AE and PAX planning, (working two cons within a three week span is awesome). I think I caught all the rsvp posts but everyone should check the OP and verfiy they appear for every event they would like to attend. I'll be blocking out reservations soon where applicable.
I'm thinking of doing an over night trip to vancouver for Raid night 2.0 but I'm not sure how to get to abbo via buses, then get back into van afterwards..
thoughts?

We'll probably have a couple cars going out from Vancouver. Two possible drivers, and (adding you) 6 people who would be needing a ride. I'll see if I can put together a more official carpool list and find out who would be willing/able to drive.

I wasn't planning on attending anything since 1) I HATE driving and 2) I hate driving in Vancouver more than anywhere else, but maybe I'll try to make it to Abby since it's so close (Langley.)
hey, is laser tag awesome? if it is, I may be convinced to come over to Van for that too.
it is quite awesome. It is significantly more awesome if it doesn't get completely filled by stupid teenagers, but that's only happened once.
hmmm I do loath stupid teenagers....
however, I'll take your word for it's awesomeness.
Alrighty, Sign me up for lazer tag, zomg sore from lazer tag din dins & abbotsford raid night.
Edit: make me a maybe, as I currently have no place to crash for either of these nights! both my friend and my sister are out of town &/or busy both weekends. /sadface. will update when i figure out where to sleep.

You need to add me to all other events except Puttputt. And I will obviously be there for Abbotsford Raid. I'm missing a bachelorette party for it so you guys better not bail on me.

I still have 20 bucks on a card from last year, I'd better use it before I lose it :P
edit: better idea, bring the bachelorette party (and the attendant ladies) to Castle Fun Park :winky:

I second this notion! :winky:
It disturbs me that the winking smiley is called "winky".
Sign me and Tiberius down for:
Friday August 27th: ACC3SS's Night of Video Gamez 3.0 @ Jimz Gaming Lounge
Saturday August 28th: Abbotsford Raid Night 2.0 @ Castle Fun Park
We arrive on the 26th at like 3am in Vancouver from the UK so we might be a bit jetlagged/get lost and not make the first or both events, but we'll try our best to make both!

I rock into Vancouver (from Australia) the night before, and apparently I will be attending the Wings on the 1st with another forumer? I have never had "wings" before, at least not in the context where they are a dish unto themselves. I look forward to being horrified/delighted!
Now now honestD, no need to go around insulting the visitors. They're not *all* horrifying.
>.>
Whoa! Keep that up, and I'll make you play StarCraft: TBG with Frenchie again!
Now *that* is a horrifying prospect.
On an unrelated note, due to my increase in commute time from the new apt, I've just arrived in Coffinwell (or whatever it's called) in DQ IX. My dude's like lvl 14 or something.

Could I perhaps suggest we change the time for ZOMG-So-SOAR-fROmLAzERPEWPEW to Noon instead of 4pm? I'd really love to attend, but by four I need to be on my way back to the ferries.
No worries if this isn't really doable. I'd just really like to go. I Davie Mongolian.

Does anyone object to this? Worst case scenario we can try to accomodate both.
Well since I've been neglecting Canadian gatherings by going to the US every weekend it's probably time to make an exception...

transit in vancouver is fine as it is. There's no way they'll do a skytrain to ubc because all the rich people have property that would get disrupted
and yes, google does transit directions for vancouver as well, and they're quite good.
If you ever get lost, you can text me and I'll send my horde of highly trained assassin chinchillas to guide you.
if you PM me your # I will do this
*sigh*
It's so hard being awesome.

So put me down as attending everything.
