    I can make it up for fishbowls again. =)

    Changed my mind. Lots of work deadlines coming up and I'm already traveling quite a bit. Have lots of fishbowls for me!

    This friday we can see Alien, Aliens, and Predator back to back to back for 14 dollars at scotiabank.
    What say you!

    Are you offering to drive people home after Predator... as its not over until around 2am? :wink:

    Also... damn thats a lot of down time between movies. Guessing they are clearing and cleaning the theatres between each one.

    Yeah, not too sure about the idea of all 3 of them. If you do just the Alien movies it would be fine and only 9 dollars.

    Seems that way.

    I need a weekend to play through all that Dragon Age DLC I bought at 50% off two weeks ago anyway. :?

    However if anyone comes up with last minute plans, I'll be around all weekend.

    lol, I have had Awakening for the longest time, but since I lost my savefile from my original playthrough I can't make myself go through it again...and I don't want to use the pregenerated char =(

    Gimme a call at some point if you wanna play Rock Band (over Live or otherwise), I bought a 12mo live card a while back.

    Hey everyone, I just came back from the Vancouver Indie Games Meetup and Nels (anderson?) from Klei games announced that there is going to be a Cthulhu Palooza 2 event featuring who else but The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets on Feb 18 @ The Rickshaw.
    I don't like the band as much as other people do, but I'll be contributing anyway because theres side events going on with full proceeds to BC Children's hospital.
    Hothead and a whole bunch of other studios have donated giveaway prizes for the event, so that's pretty cool too!

    233439006-e1296508182650.jpgBake Sale Rules!
    Click on the images for details, theres also cute cthulhu cookies and stuff for the event as well
    Give it a look! I know absinthe and access are crazy for these guys.

    So imagine if I were to have another game day. Like on the 19th... Or something like that... Would that be something you'd be interested in?

    Bring money, to throw down for food, or "something" for us to "eat". Woo.

    Uber super special reminder of game day at my house. Bring food or cash, and if anyone has some extra GameCube controllers around, I'd like to get in on some Super Smash Bros.... For realz, yo. Oh, and we can always do with more XBOX 360 controllers, if you want to do some eight player haloz....

    I'll probably be there as usual.

    So how many people are coming to either JoCo at the Rio or Thickets at the Rickshaw on Friday?

    I'm going to the Thickets show.... mostly because I'm getting to see JoCo in Boston in a few short weeks so the choice was easy for me.

    Also with PAX East coming up there will be another FTWings night, tentatively on March 8th. If you are interested in going drop a post here.... full details will be coming within the week.

    A trip to Jims or Laser Tag may also be in order if people are free on February 25-27 weekend. Or March 18-20 if we want to fit in something Post-PAX.

    Also if someone (most likely HonestD, lol) wants to do something on PAX weekend for those folks not making the trek east its probably a good idea.... though you'll be missing me, DM, Thermos, Haikon, SmallLady, UserError (and Trotsky who knows he's gonna give in last minute ;-)) .... so whoever wants to plan something will want to post it early to assure some attendance.

    So on the agenda currently will be Pre-PAX fishbowls on Friday March 4, FTWings is tentatively on for Tuesday March 8th... however pending on our plans for Pre-PAX PDX we may be back early enough on Monday to do it that night, will figure that out this weekend.

    I'll log onto WoW to see if ACC3SS wants to plan something at Jimz. lol.

    I'm sorry that you couldn't make it, but not as sorry as I'll be if you schedule your make up party for a day when Tr0tsky is in town.

    And Tr0tsky, before you say anything, yes, it's because I loooooooooooooove makeup. it makes me feel pretty.

    So due to travel times and time constraints we wont be doing a full-on fishbowl night on March 4th.

    Also as DM, Lunchbox, Bombchelle and I will be in Portland until later on Monday the 7th we won't be able to plan anything substantial for that day. That being said, others can plan an event and we can join you later during it, or alternatively we can do a smaller get together that night.

    FTWings night will be on Tuesday March 8th
    Post-PAX Fishbowls will be on Friday March 18th

    I'll update specific times shortly, most likely starting sometime between 6 and 7 for each event.

    I'm also all for another Castle Funpark raid either this weekend or on the 19/20th so we can assure Sumi can make it out for something. ;-)

    Given his comment about his love of makeup, I think it's honestD that's been "ousted". Also, I'll come to your film thing.

    Since I see DM on the list, if he's there I'll be there, along with Lunchbox and Bombchelle, as we are all driving back from Portland together that day.

    I thought we'd be back later than 6pm, but the driver knows best.

    My two events have been in the OP for a couple days ... since the 22nd.

    I put you in the guestlist since I already know you're coming. :wink:

    Added SmallLadys dinner, but it looks like she'll handle the guestlist in her post.
