Vancouver PAX Forumer Events: May to October Edition

Hardtarget

so how did the Wings night go, how many people showed up?

Once we are post PAX now that I know about these events I definitely plan to go to some!

Helloooo!, i've lurked this thread before PAX, so i figured id post and say hi, any plans for Post Pax adventures?

Infidel

I am back in Vancouver!

Not that I'm staying.

But it's nice.

We did it last year and we're doing it again:

HonestD and GreenWitch's Post Pax BBQ!!!

Who: You and Me
What: I'm going to say eat and/or game. Which ones depend on you (although I did pickup a copy of Castle Ravenloft at the con...)
Where: Our house
When: Saturday, Sept 25, say, round about 3pm onward?
Why: Because that PAX feeling shouldn't only last one (or two) weekends a year.

The usual caveats apply... PM me for my address, and you're only welcome if we've met at another event or are vouched for by other members of the usual suspects.

I'd like to get a game of Four Swords Adventures (not THOSE four swords, ACC3SS!) going, so if you have your GBA and a GBA/GC link cable, please bring em!

Just got internet set up today. Previous tenants' telecom disconnected my cable (goddamn Shaw).

But now I'm officially moved into my apartment.

Too bad I missed FTW however I'd love to meet you guys, so consider me up for anything else down the road. I'm living in Marpole neighbourhood currently. Working down on West 4th and Arbutus.

Wormdundee

Have you played/do you own Munchkin honestd? I got my hands on it a while ago and I'm wondering if it's any good.

Senicks

Holy crap, I've just found out that The Protomen (one of the musical performers at PAX) is coming down here in Vancouver on the 7th of September.

I've saw their show during PAX and in my opinion... it was the best one that night. I was wondering here who is going to come down to see them?

ohnoz!, why today and not on thursday!, too poor from PAX to attend

tr0tsky

I *might* be going...but the show starts at 9:30 and there's an opening act, so Protomen probably won't be on until like...11 at least. Then I have to get back to New West and sleep before being up at 5:15 for work tomorrow morning.

It's really tempting though...I guess I can roll my lack of sleep into my PAX weekend.

drspacemonkey2

Holy crap, that's close enough that I could stumble home. Only problem is, I'm still dead tired from PAX, didn't get in to town until around 11pm, didn't get to bed until 1am, and had to be up at 6 to send my brother off to the airport. I'm also spending all day trying to fix a server that blowed up real good on Friday, so as much as I'd like to curl up under my desk and have a nap, that just ain't gonna happen.

I'm gonna try to make it, though.

Also, I've decided I'm going to try to take up D&D, so I'm on the lookout for a group that would be willing to show me the ropes.

Played: Yes
Own: Yes
Is it any good?: Depends

I think this game does well with geeks of all stripes, but RPG geeks seem to like it best (MMO or Pen and Paper). After the humour of the first couple plays, it's essentially a co-op/negotiation game with a heavy "Frenemy" bent. Think of it as Cosmic Encounter: The Card Game.

tr0tsky

Munchkin can be really good or really bad, depending on who you're playing with :P I enjoy it though, most of the time. I wanna try out Munchkin Quest sometime though, as I haven't played that.

Also, honestD, I will almost certainly be attending your BBQ this year...because I bbq's and your guys' place is awesome to hang out. I might be interested in trying out Ravenloft too

Teenychicka

I purposely didn't see The Protomen at PAX because I knew they'd be here tonight...but now I'm dead tired.

I'll try to be there.

I don't think I'm going. It'll be way too late by the time I get home =(

ACC3SS

I'm going, but I'll be damn late. I really don't want to sit around between doors at 8:00pm and the Protomen at 11ish(?).

honestD

Changed date on the post PAX BBQ. as it conflicts with some stupid housewarming that my stupid cousin and her stupid fiance are throwing

noted. I dont' have any plans that weekend either, so I'm still up for it.

Zionad

What about other cool Canadian cities like red deer?
I know i wasn't the only one! At the q&a someone said it and people cheered!

Wormdundee

When are we planning to do the go-karts?

SmallLady

I just ask not this weekend or the weekend of Sep 25th, as i'm only in Van for friday night that weekend.

de4dmeta1

So, Protomen show.

Totally worth it.

Ran almost twice as long as any of their PAX sets. They played the entirety of Act II and a bunch of Act I.


Aside from that, might it be possible to have some of the upcoming events added to the OP? it's getting hard to tell what we've got left happening before newthread.

SmallLady

also for go-karts. I have two coupons (4 races) so I can share with somebody.

ElmoFuntz

Man I was hoping this was Vancouver WA since that is close to Portland. Oh well.

Seconded. Can we update that? I'd like to join in and meet people.

I'll put HonestD's BBQ in the OP if he wants it there. Previously it hasn't been a totally public event so his BBQs have never been in the OP before.

There's nothing else to add at the moment as no one has decided on a date for Go-Karts. :P

tr0tsky

although I'm not going to be attending, what about fishbowls/machete?

That's not really a public event either as we don't have the lead time to do reservations or ensure we have a block of tickets available.

I'm looking to plan something for the forums for sometime next weekend (Sept 18,19) once I have some time to clear my head from the post-PAX hangover.

if nobody is going to pick a date, I propose Sep 18

there!

Serenity

I'm cool with that date for karts...
What time?
Also does anyone have a portal 2 shirt they're willing to part with?

I have a large Portal 2 shirt I'd be willing to trade for a Fallout: Vegas shirt.

Cool, is E=Muk(squared) coming, too?

Sumi

Possibly. It seems he follows me everywhere :P

afreak

I was told by SmallLady on IRC that if I have interest in going go-karting that I should express it here.

I have expressed my interest. That is all.

Wormdundee

I can't go for the karting any earlier than about 1:30 pm. I don't think that should be a problem, just putting it out there.

Haikon

Well since I've already bought and paid for coupons I guess I'll be there for the karting.

-Haikon

SmallLady

I have no problem changing the time to 1:30pm worm. Anybody else have time issues?


Also, thoughts on a post mario karting championship dinner?

No go-karts for me if it is that late, but if we're having dinner, I can show up past 6.
