    Friday night, expbar!

    http://www.expbar.ca/

    Video games in a bar-like setting with chiptunes and videogame remix music, etc. Might be full, as it's supposedly only a 200 person capacity and there's over 300 "attending" on Facebook, although that doesn't mean much.

    I'm going down for sure, if anyone wants to join me, lemme know.

    Wait, should I be dressing fancy for this expbar thing? I was just gonna wear a duke nukem shirt and be done with it.

    EDIT; Facebook page says dress up a bit, so I guess that's a yes.

    Silly me for only going on the forums right at this time just to find out about Gaming on the Rocks.

    Dunno what you have planned for the 15th Sumi, but count me in.

    gaming on the rocks was pretty much a bust. we stayed for like half an hour (after waiting in line for 1.5 hours) and then went for fishbowls.

    That's too bad, but now I feel better for having missed it to stay home and cook for my mother in law...

    Any word on Sumi-fest on the 15th?

    Ummm I would like to begin with fishbowls and then do something else, but I'm not quite sure what that something else might be. Traditionally it's been laser tag, but Fishbowls + Lasertag = someone's going to get hurt.

    I will think about it but does anyone have any suggestions?

    [edit] Anyone up for drinks and the space centre?

    It could be fun but it could also be really lame.. I'm not sure.

    Okay so it's time for another swanky party at Eric's place. This is kinda last minute so I guess it all depends on if anyone is actually interested in attending. We can hook up the TV in the living room to a console of your choice and set up the table for jenga and the like. It'd be on friday. Standard you-can-come-if-i-know-you rules apply. Byob and Byosnacks. There will be space for anyone who wants to crash, though for some it might be floor space.

    So please post or Pm an rsvp.

    Yeah in two days, it really just depends on if anyone is interested. If no one RSVP's, then obviously it won't happen. So it's up to you guys. Eric's mom is just out of town so we figured we'd take advantage of the empty house.

    Also, why are those helmets not painted to look like pacmen?

    Mostly because we wanted to be able to return and use our other coupons at some point.

    I'm down for stuff on friday. If there's not enough people, le shrug.

    I hate to ruin the amazing imagery, but he has no visor. What looks like fog is actually his helmet liner thing that they make you wear to keep the helmets (less) gross :P.

    I'm the only one with an actual visor, which is obviously why I had the best average times in both races. Aero-dynamic!

    Also, I'm not going to the island, so I'm up for something on Friday, as long as I don't feel like death. My sickness is basically gone though, so I should be good :P

    PPBBQP2:TP (That's Post-PAX BBQ Part 2: The Potluckening).

    I'm not gonna post all the usual again, but it's all the same. RSVP if you can come, bring cool people you know.

    Saturday, Oct 23, at around 3pm again? Post what you're bringing as a reply to this post and we can figure out the fine details. We have a ton of drinks from the last one, so don't sweat those, just make something nice.

    Thoughts?
