*tear* The whole PAX'ers dynamic was thrown off, way to go! Hope you feel better

oh man...it's been a while since Trilogy Tuesday...I could almost go for it again.

Wormdundee

It would be madness, but I think I could do that trilogy thang.

Also, Body Worlds is on at science world again if anyone is interested in that.

Bombchelle

LOTR Trilogy!

Also, I think I'm going to be able to make the Go Karts... Just as soon as I find my coupon.

parabola

I'll come to space centre... Do I have to buy my ticket ahead of time?

I'd be down for LOTR too.

SmallLady

Para: no, we'll get tickets when we get there. We should probably show up 20 or so min early.

What about Harry Potter on the 19th? The opening night would be EPIC!

Aww yea, an excuse to dress up like a schoolgirl again! Except it'd be absolute madness.

Uh yeah so that is on a friday right?

Cuz I'm really starting to get the impression that fishbowls would be a requirement. o_O

depends on if he's talking about a midnight showing or not. I dunno though, even on Friday, we'd have to be there like hours in advance to avoid crappy seating.

SmallLady

if people are going to fishbowls first I'm in, but i'm pretty iffy on harry potter when it doesn't involve shots and pwnies though.... :P


I will be unable to make the planetarium tomorrow night. super sucky, but I'm sure everyone else will have a blast

Teenychicka

I also won't be attending the planetarium. I was only going for Smalllady but she can't make it.

Danneh has alternate plans as well.

Next time!

Sumi

Boo! I'm super stoked for the planetarium.

SmallLady

all the more reason to go and have a fantastic time!! I promise you can rub it in my face later!

oh sure, it didn't look pervy till you did that.

degreesplatinum

I have to cancel on the planetarium too. I was screamingly reminded of a previous engagement that I had originally committed to this weekend. I thought I could split my time but it seems I cant.

Oh yeah, the Harry Potter thing sounds good to me.

japerry

perfect! I'm excited. its usually a good crowd. Since I'm south a little bit (Bellingham), what would be the best theatre? Midnight showing would be cool, but I'm guessing that this would be on thursday (midnight friday) instead of friday. It might conflict with some having work/school in the morning.

Either way, we'd be in line for a bit. Cthulu dice and Set would be great to play while waiting.

See even that sounded kind of pervy.

Are we meeting in space right at 7?

the show is right at 7pm, so you guys should show up early. fyi

parabola

So like 6?

Wormdundee

Not that early, it's a planetarium, not a hockey game. So going with what smalllady said, probably 20 minutes beforehand would be fine. I declare 6:40 to be the time.

parabola

K so 6:30-6:40 it is.

Sumi

I'm going at 6 because I'm hoping there are some exhibits or something to look at there.

I'm fine with 6... But I think everyone else is going around 6:30 so i donno.

Sumi

I'll be with Mukmuk so whatever time you guys want to show up is cool.

honestD

we're sick! cant make it... :-( see you all at the next function!

de4dmeta1

Looks like I'll be around for the plane arium thing.

japerry

talking with some of my friends, and we're game for IMAX at Colossus Thursday night (Friday morning) midnight.

Anyone else down?

tr0tsky

I think you meant to link this since yours was for "Friday" shows, when the midnight showing is listed on thursday

Either way, I'm definitely not going to a midnight showing of it, and probably won't be going the first week either. I don't care nearly enough about Harry Potter to fight the crowds. Will probably see it at some point in theatre though.

In case anyone is interested, the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe are recording a show in Vancouver on the 20th @ 2:30pm. Tickets are $5 for CFI members, $7 for students and $15 for everyone else.

Oh yup, wrong link. thanks for catching that. Yah the crowds will be there, but it'll be exciting and a group of people playing games before hand in line would be somewhat fun.

I enjoy going to the theatre for the experience, otherwise I'll watch it on my home theater system =P

Fogg and Suds on the 26th, followed by the late showing of Potter?

There's also a 'Nucks game so our puck discounts will apply. :winky:

Indeed, I got my members ticket for this back on November 1.

Sumi

I won't be attending anything until after the term's over except possibly Hd's bbq so if I seem scarce, I'm alive (but just barely) beneath my pile of homework.
