    K, we're going to go with 1:30 because Worm has already purchased tickets and I don't want people who've pre-paid to get stuck.


    Dinner will be at 6pm at a TBA location.

    It will be at Sammy J Peppers as it close to a skytrain station, which is important apparently. So there you go.

    Specifically it's at #3 Road and Ackroyd.

    Photos of the other night on the end of that album :)

    I like how Mukmuk and I are automatically put on the list for MarioKarting. I didn't buy a coupon and I work that day but we'll try to make dinner even though I am pathetically broke.

    I will attempt to make dinner the day of MarioKarting but as previously mentioned by Sumi, I am also pathetically broke.


    Sammy J Peppers is a little spendy, but I suppose I could just order an appetizer...

    As long as the invitation is open, I'll be there for Pepper's (sadly, no go-karting)

    I emailed groupon a couple hours ago to find out if it's required. If I don't hear from them by 3 I plan on calling the go-kart place.

    Unless you want to do it for me and save me long distance :D

    well, i just got an email from groupon:
    Groupon wrote:
    Due to the popularity of this great deal, we have added an important detail to the Fine Print of this Groupon: “24-hour cancellation policy or Groupon is forfeited.” If you make a reservation to use your Groupon and must cancel, please make sure that you do so prior to 24 hours of your reservation. Otherwise, your Groupon will no longer be valid.

    So, I imagine reservations are a good plan.

    I currently can only afford either the go-kart or the dinner. And since I would much rather have food in broke times, I can join you guys for the post-kart dinner at Sammy J. :)

    Hey guys I'm going to have to bail for tomorrow. Now, I am not only broke, but I am broke with a load of homework to do (and it's only the second week of school... joy.)

    Have fun though and I'll possibly see some of you next Sunday! (It's still on right HD?)

    Partially correct, my dear! It is still on, but not on Sunday, it's for Saturday, here's the original post for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about:


    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!

    Yes, for about 20 and yes, we have only 12 ears, so more corn would be welcome. I don't know if it's still corn season, but I found some last night at Two EE's.
