    Reservations made, Friday July 29 -> Monday August 1 (3 nights). Here's a map of the campground. I booked sites 35-38, so we have a somewhat secluded corner of the campground, so it won't matter if we're noisy for the most part.

    Came out to $83 and change per site for 3 nights, so that's ~20 bucks per person if we put 4 people in each site. I'm not sure what the count was at for people so far, I think SmallLady said 7? Plus my possible 7, in which case we still have room for 1 or 2 more people, assuming my friends that said they were coming are coming. If not, I can always cancel a site if need be.

    edit: I recommend Sumi/Mukmuk for camping. C'mon Sumi, it's cheap!

    :( My schedule has been really erratic lately. I am sorry.

    Might be able to make the 21st though, if I am not working. Definitely not 4th as I will be on a different continent. I don't know whether to smile or cry about that. o_O Maybe I will just let me face implode instead.

    Dammit! Oh. Wait. I'm going to be in Pastaland (that's Italy for all you'se geography majors out there) so I'm not sure if I should be upset or not.

    Like Sumi. But have fun! That Don Vincenzo sauce tat they serve there is outstanding, and word to the wise, if you don't want to have tons and tons of leftovers, share one entree to two or three people and order a giant caesar... salad. Yeah, giant caesar salad.

    Don't think I'm going. I don't feel like going all the way there for pasta when theres a Canucks game on. Apparently its going to take me like an hour to get there.

    We'll see, if I don't show up at 5... That's why.

    There's nothing for public events currently planned that are coming up prior to August.... so nothing to update the OP with.

    (There is Honest Ds BBQ on June 4, but as he is no longer taking RSVPs from this forum anyway, adding it to the OP isn't really going to be of value).

    For actual events, Trotsky is organizing SmallLady's camping trip and I'm putting together some Pre-PAX stuff for late August at the moment. New thread for pre-PAX is probably going up Sunday with all of those events listed.

    If you want to plan something for when DIMD arrives next weekend throw it up here and I'll add it to the new thread.

    For clarity on how OP updates have/will work: Unfortunately I haven't had and won't have time to update the OP for last minute events (less than a weeks notice) due to other commitments over the summer.

    Adding RSVPs I can do from my Blackberry, but I need to set aside time at the computer to post an entirely new event.

    We've had a lot of last minute events the last few months, which were pointless to put in the OP. Unless you were checking the thread everyday (and accordingly didn't need to check the OP) you would miss the deadline anyway as events were ocurring a few days after they were posted.

    As a note. if anyone who wants daily event updates to the OP (to catch all those last minute postings) wants to create the new thread instead, go for it and I'll post the info for the Pre-PAX events I'm working on in your thread. Otherwise I'll stick to updating new events weekly (on Sunday or Monday), and if an event is posted with less than a weeks notice it won't make the OP.

    Vancouver Island Summer Camping Trip! *UPDATE*
    July 29th - Aug 1st (BC Day Weekend)

    Where:

    Not Vancouver island!!! but Camano Island!!

    Ok, so it's not even in Canada... but Canadians are going! and this means more Canadians can go! American's too!! And even better, NO FERRY!! :D

    It's a Private site owned by the family of a very generous enforcer Sidareus!

    Photos:

    248238_10150626892540096_869830095_19374818_1319588_n.jpg


    Epic BonFire
    Moar Epic Bonfire



    The Site is pretty fantastic. It has an outhouse, firepit, cooking station and some amazing stairs down to the beach for ocean access and crazy ass large fires. :D and NO OTHER PEOPLE! :D





    Who:

    SmallLady
    Theros
    Teenychicka
    Worm
    Haikon
    Bombchelle
    Catboy
    Tr0tsky +2
    MetaNomad
    Ashridah

    Maybe:
    Danneh


    When it gets closer to the date, we'll figure out who has tents and who's driving. There is limited parking space, so we need to consolidate people into as few cars as possible coming from both north and south.

    Imagine if I went to a magical land where board game nerds brought all their unwanted games in and swapped them between themselves... What a wonderous place that would be...

    Now imagine that that's exactly where I went last week and that I got a metric fuckton of new games.

    NOW imagine that we're having a game day on Saturday July 9th, would that be something you'd be interested in?

    This one is a bring money to order food thing, as I'd rather play more and cook less this time round...

    RSVP here to let all the cool kids know who's coming, but also email GreenWitch!

    THere was a local math trade on BGG for the last two weeks, and I ended up scoring some pretty sweet trades for some of the dead weight in my collection. I think I got like five games for TI3 (with expansion).

    I'll let you know if I catch wind of the next one in time...
