    OH! Right, and a word to the wise: This is a potluck function, which means if you want to come, then you have to bring something. If you cant' cook, buy something. Post what you're bringing here, so we don't get six loaves of garlic bread and a fourpack of strongbow. That's weak.

    So to summarize: I MAY see you on Friday (but likely not), and I HOPE to see you on the 29th.

    HD

    kk, then.... I'll bring a loaf of garlic bread. ;-)

    I have an appointment for my nexus card on at noon at YVR, so hopefully somebody will be leaving after that. otherwise, I'll need transit directions to your house HD.

    Do I need to buy a ticket ahead of time somewhere?

    Yeah if anyone can figure out how to buy tickets on the Cinemark website let me know, or pick me up one. ;-)

    Otherwise I'll be stopping at the theatre on the way to F N' Suds to pick up my ticket.

    From what I can tell you can only get tickets from Cinemark theaters in the sates.


    Do people think it'll sell out? Someone want to pick me up a ticket?

    It looks like we'll have a GauntletWizard joining us from Seattle for the movie, possibly a drink or two beforehand. You have been warned.

    I will be coming from BCIT, so I'll probably be a bit early. If anyone wanted to meet up at metrotown to head out that would be possible.

    Dude, like totally a reminder! Please RSVP, and note that this one is a potluck.

    Please note that GW and I are hosting another game day at our house, on Jan 29, 3pm... This is cross posted from the meetup group:

    Okay, so we know for sure that my mother in law is going to be gone by this day... Not that there's anything wrong with her, we actually have a good relationship. It's just that if she's here, I can't game with you people... So here's the thing.

    We are going to play four swords adventures! You know, that game on GameCube where you need four GBAs and link cables and shit? Yeah, that's the one.

    You are going to come over here, and we are going to play through as much of this game as humanly possible, earning force gems, working together, throwing each other down pits, and shit. Should be good...

    So dust off your GBA and bring it! Let me know if you're bringing your GBA or if you're just mooching off of those of us who can't bear to get rid of anything. Ditto for game link cables, as I have two GBAs and three link cables. If Taylor comes, we're good for link cables, but still short for GBAs.

    Of course there will be the usual Halo/RockBand/Fighting Games and what not... As well as board games.

    OH! Right, and a word to the wise: This is a potluck function, which means if you want to come, then you have to bring something. If you cant' cook, buy something. Post what you're bringing here, so we don't get six loaves of garlic bread and a fourpack of strongbow. That's weak.

    Dude, really? Camping in Jan? You guys are HARDcore.

    But not as hard core as Four Swords Day! (I couldn't resist!)

    Seriously, though, if you guys do decide to come, you can totally still have a campfire in the backyard...

    As it so happens, there is a movie we've previously earmarked as Bad Movie Night material that opens on the 28th.

    I say we see... The Mechanic.

    Hey guys!

    Crashing your thread again for the usual reason: everyone knows about the Jonathan Coulton show next month, right? Friday, February 18th at the Rio. I will probably bring dessert again, because it is almost my birthday. Again. Funny how those things keep happening.

    JoCo's not bad, but let's face it... he's gonna play the same songs he always plays. His set-list hasn't changed much the past four times I've seen him.

    This is where you should be on February 18th. Cthulhupalooza 2 featuring the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Lovecraftian short films, a burlesque show and a bake sale.

    You have a point; he'll be with his new band this time, but he usually only plays three or four songs from the new album.

    Enjoy Cthulhupalooza! We all have our chosen fandoms. (:
