    I'm going to probably end up not being able to go. Don't be surprised if you don't see me.

    You're welcome anytime.... you can even bring along that silly +1 that never posts, even though we already have two of those. :P

    I'll have a few events posted for the June to September period after Wootstock weekend is in the books.

    Hey, will any of you guys be taking part in any of the Vancouver Craft Beer Week shenanigans?

    I'll be in Vancouver for pretty much the whole thing.

    If only those strange invisibly-attached appendages could kill! We'd be a thing straight out of Japan.

    may 6 (well, technically may 7). After Videogames Live

    Surprisingly, I am actually free to see Iron Man 2 that night. Purchased two tickets.

    So, I took a look through the VCBW events list today. These are the ones I'm interested in.

    R&B Brewery Tours
    Storm Brewing @ The Whip
    Good and Evil at Subeez
    Women and Beer @ The Refinery
    Upright Crawl
    Good and Evil @ Waazubee
    Four Beers and a Funeral Brewpub Crawl
    BC Craft Beer Tasting

    The four beers and a funeral one I'm particularly interested in because it's for the closing of Dix. I've only been there once, at the invitation of teeny, but it was amazing so it sucks that it's closing. Let me know if you're interested in any. A good amount of them require ticket purchase.

    Danneh wants to take an afternoon off work for the R&B Brewery Tour as it's his fav brewery. I can keep you posted on when he's going.

    I am also saddened by the closing of Dix and want to go to it's "funeral". But a friend's birthday party is that night, so it's a toss up here :p Keep me posted as well, folks!

    They wouldn't give me an adult badge when I was 18 because "people live out their fantasies here and it's not a good place for children to be at night."

    I may show up for this 'Anime Evolution' thing. Maybe.

    Who going to Wootstock feels like sticking around in Seattle for an extra day and raiding this place? Nothing like a bit of stomp-stomp pew-pew to brighten your day.

    That's really messed up. The age of an adult badge has been 18 since the convention moved away from SFU. I don't know what to say about the creepy "live out their fantasies" line though.

    Any fans of Desert Bus For Hope here? There will be a "Desert Bus Reunion Tour" happening at AE as well:

    Announcing:

    GreenWitch and Honest D's Victoria Day Long Weekend Barbecue Season Kickoff Party (or GWAHDVDLWBSKP for short)!



    Sunday, May 23, 12 noon-whenever you leave!



    Come and join the fun as we show off the latest (and hopefully last) additions to the garden. Hang out and eat a burger, or show off your mad grill skills. Rock Band, Smores, Christmas Lights, Fun, Family, you name it, it’s there! If you can stay after dark, it’s totally worth your while



    We’re kicking it pot-luck open house style, so if you’re coming early, breakfast type foods are the order of the day, and if you’re coming later, then it’s salads and BYOM!



    RSVP soon and RSVP often!

    Furries don't scare me.... it was being given the impression that they are "getting sticky" at the con that scares me. :?

    If I can be promised a furpile free environment I may still attend. lol.

    I noticed on their website that they will have a performance by "The Darkest Thickets on the Hillside". I can only assume this is either the name of ACC3SS's Darkest of the Hillside Thickets tribute band or yet another horrible Thickets typo, either way that definately has caught my interest.

    Worm and Trotsky are each driving down.

    I'll be riding with Trotsky and there should still be room in the van if you want to come along in our convoy.

    Two of my other friends are also joining us for the trip down (in their own car). They are meeting at my place around 9am on Friday and we are planning to hang out until Trotsky crawls out of bed and comes by to meet up with us, then both vehicles are heading down together.

    I do not know what Worm's plans are for departure time, however:

    I requested early check-ins, but you guys will have to wait for us to get down there to check-in. Booking was through Expedia so the card holder (me) needs to show up for check-in.

    I'm guessing thats a security thing that has something to do with the fact that rooms have already been charged to my credit card. :?

    Accordingly, perhaps a 3 car convoy might be in order if we can coordinate that.

    EDIT: The trip back up I'm not 100% sure about yet. Don't know Worms plans for Saturday, do know that Team Trostsky will be getting dragged to Outlet Mall at some point on the way back up.

    I assume we will probably all do a breakfast in the morning regardless.

    Yeah I can hit up the convoy with you guys if you let me know when and where to join up, since I'm not going to drive into vancouver just to drive back.

    I can't stay too late on Saturday as our mother's day dinner got moved to saturday from sunday. I'd probably have to leave around 1 or 2. So, breakfast is definitely a thing on saturday.

    Last chance before I book lodgings:

    Anyone up for the Seattle Folkfest?
    http://www.nwfolklife.org/

    There's meat on sticks (or fruit if that's how you roll), buskers extraordinaire, and topless bellydancers. Need I say more? Oh and last year there was this fabulous yo yo trickster kid that I wanted to steal.

    Eh? Ehhhh? *eyebrows*

    @Teenychicka: I'd like to go, but I'm stuck in a busy few days here and I won't be able to make up my mind any time soon. Book your lodgings. Hopefully I'll see you and Danny down there!

    @Wormdundee: My shift is over at 12:30pm tomorrow. I'm right next to Waterfront Station. I'll hop on the Skytrain from there and meet you at the Brighouse station. Feel free to call/text me tomorrow, I'll keep my phone handy. I will likely be able to leave as early as 11am should the need arise.

    Hrm. I'll have to let you know Sunday after I have a few minutes to see what this festival-thingy is.... in the meantime I have to run out to meetup with DM and Trotsky. Yay W00tstock!
