Anybody interested in a pre-pax trip to Vancouver. It would be late Wednesday night or early Thursday if done. I'm hella interested in going there myself and my brosaurus is as well. We will probably go regardless but I'd thought I'd post see what kind of interest we had.
This is a determining factor in which plane tickets we will get. So try to respond in the next day or so. I know its late notice.
Don't get worried about not being back in time Thursday to do any pre-pax festivities, I wouldn't miss them.

I'll meet you here... >.>
P.S. - Brosaurus is a hilarious term that should never be used seriously outside of making fun of fratboys...
P.P.S. - If you're a fratboy, I apologize.
P.P.P.S - No I don't.
Anybody wanting their own personal ginger for Pax '08 needs to jump on it, seriously once in a lifetime offer.
Anything good to do in Vancouver anyway?
edit: also, are you talking about Vancouver, Washington or Vancouver, BC?
But as my grammatically impaired friend suggested, road trip to Canada. Why you ask? Because I love John Candy, and by extension, Canadian Bacon. Film or food, both delicious. Also, road trips are inherently awesome.
Of course they're much better when you've got something to do when you get wherever you're going. Tr0tsky, you on the fo' realz about showing some of the local sites? Anyone else hyped?
For example Anheuser Busch in St. Louis attracts thousands of visitors, yet a locol would recommend visiting Schlafly(microbrewery) instead.
P.S. Looking forward to PAX this year.
407 Columbia St. New Westminster (GVA)
Just off Columbia Skytrain Station.

You could then take the skytrain down to Gamedeals and he can hook you up with the local gaming scene. Good people there.
Interested in adding a Canuck to your party?
For the under 21 crowd most likely a bar.
We used to welcome Americans who were coming here to drink during the Prohibition era, so I gladly open our doors to those who are underage at home.
I think.
Still, at ten years over, these things don't really affect me so much any more.
Alberta is 18 as well. That's it...I think... >.>
man, why havent BC PAers meet up for a beer/coke and gaming?
edit: Grouse grind lail? his legs are gonna fall off during pax!
Because we're all anti-socials who like to hide in our rooms? :P
I dunno, I'd be up for some sort of meet/gaming night.
Haha yeah. I just threw that out there. I guess it was a cruel suggestion. :P
and Manitoba.
you gotta think in terms of every other province moving east-west
Really? Huh...didn't know that. Not that it really makes a difference to me, having been legal anywhere for *quite* some time now.
Beer + Coke + Gaming?! Count me in.
The Elbow Room
If anyone's coming to Van on Wednesday and heading down to Seattle on Thursday, you should join me (and others, hopefully) on the Greyhound Thursday morning (8:15 am or 10:50, undetermined yet).
trots, youre taking a greyhound?
why not grab a ride from one of us?
hahahaha - truth!
I was going to drive, but I don't really want to sit at the border for 4+ hours each way. Plus, parking is absurdly expensive when you're going to be using your vehicle in the city anyway.
I am being pessimistic. The last couple of times I've gone down it's been absurd though. Remembrance Day weekend (?) I sat for 2 hours trying to get up to the turn into the Truck Crossing one before I said fuck it and went home. It would've been at least another hour or two to get through. That was mainly due to assholes trying to skip the line and merging in at the end though. I was there around 10 am and turned around about noon.
I got through quite quickly when I went down for Black Friday, but that's because it was 5 am when we got to the crossing. Coming back took us FIVE hours
At low-speeds like toll-crossings and whatnot it's just annoying, but at any speed higher than a crawl, that's the single most dangerous common-engaged-in behaviour on the road.
Well, accidents are bad, but fuck late mergers. This is probably worse, but once I was approaching construction on I-5 that went down to one lane, and there were so many people late merging it was stopping traffic. So I put on my blinker like I was going to switch lanes, and drove in the middle of the two lanes so no one could get past me. Bastards.
damn now youre making me wonder if the canadian supertrip is worth it. i only got about a grand squirreled away for this.
i was just planning on parking at a hotel/wherever im staying (havent got that arranged yet because a buddy had to bail out on me at the minute of early bird purchase) and walking around to wherever i need to be.
good ideas or bad ideas?
my first one, do educate me
If you're staying downtown you really don't need a vehicle when you're there. Once I got to my hotel, my van just stayed parked there the whole weekend. It's just a matter of preference for how you get there in the first place. I've had a couple bad experiences at the border, so I'm gonna do it this way this year. Also, since I won't be driving...I can play DS on the bus with whoever wants to play while sitting at the border. Last year I had to keep inching forward every couple of minutes which made DSing rather bothersome :P
