May 10th-12th in Bellingham WA, has everything nerds could want. Even nerd tv celebrities.
Are you trying to organize a group from Vancouver to go down?
I am from Vancouver, I am one of the people heading up the event. The proceeds go towards Child's play. I suppose I could organize a group trip if people needed it.
Oh my Dayum
Oh my goodness
They goin' Ham
B. Lets start planning those pre-pax events.
Renfest starts on Thursday. I have no specific plans to go but it is an event that caters to our demographic.
I feel like events are going to be more minimal this year, at the very least we should do wings again. Shall we say Tuesday, August 27th, 6pm at Granville street?
Puttputt (minigolf), Pewpew (lasertag) and dare I say, Bowling (we can work on a snappy name later, if the event gets chosen), may also still be on the table, if only we could pick a time and a place.
To any n00bs, I can tell you from experience we are a group of very nice people, and whether this is your first time or fourteenth, we'd love to meet you prior to PAX 2013. If there are any upcoming nerdy events or you feel like planning something yourself, feel free to post. Any questions? Send me a PM, I'll be happy to help. (Although admittedly I don't check my inbox as often as I should.)
Well that is all for now. I will update as I become aware of more events around the Vancouver area.
Happy PAXing!
In the past we've gone to LaserDome in North Vancouver, but we could look in to Planet Laser. At first glance it's looking more expensive, unless we go on Tuesday. LaserDome offers play all night for $20 after 9pm, while Planet Laser is $20 for three games usually (we usually only play four or so anyways), or $16.25 on Tuesday. It being in New West makes it easier to do dinner or drinks before or after, but if it's on a Tuesday, there won't be much time for that anyways. What do you guys think?
Sorry I missed this one, I really like it, the play all night is good if you plan on playing more than three games and I really like the layout. That being said, we may be changing the location in the future. *points up*
I'm pretty sure they got specials on Wednesdays and Sundays too, but if we ended up going there I wouldn't really care what day, since it's a lot easier for us to get to than North Van
<@zerzhul> you win at twdt
Pre-Pax Sports: Saturday, August 17th.
Minimal details at the moment, more of a "save the date", but will most likely include either minigolf, dinner/drinks, bowling, or a combination of two.
FTW (For the Wings!): Tuesday, August 27th.
Tradition dictates that the Wednesday immediately preceding PAX shall be known as For the Wings Night. But screw tradition, more people can make it on Tuesday. On this night we celebrate the coming of PAX by stuffing our faces with delicious meats and meat-like foodstuffs.
In the event that EXP bar cannot take our reservation, the venue will instead be moved to Wings on Granville St., where the atmosphere isn't as cool but they have some tasty purple drank
If you don't have facebook, just post if you're planning to attend and I'll keep you in mind when making reservations. Hope to see you there!
Or heading to playland?

Also Re: Playland. I'd LOVE to go. But my budget commands I wait until after PAX. September possibly? October? I know a lot of people love to go for frightnights. Although if you end up going beforehand, feel free to post, since others might be wanting to join.

Thanks!
ooooooo
Looks like a lot of the regular Vancouver bunch aren't on the forums this year though?
Well, see you guys at PAX I guess, unless there's some secret other area where events are being organized?
We haven't been updating the OP but have still been posting events on the thread. There is one tonight actually, and then the usually FTW on the 27th.
Speaking of events, if anyone is coming to Castle Fun Park tonight who doesn't know any other attendees, feel free to send me a PM and I'll give you my # so you can text me when you arrive.
Can't wait!!
