Yea the clipper is from a differnt city than Vancouver... you could have to take a bus from downtown vancouver to Victoria... which would involve another ferry trip (1 1/2 hours) and then once your in Vic the clipper terminal is only about a 10 min walk away.... but it's $100 return and a 2 - 21/2 hour trip.... that's alot of boat time.....
but hey... if you wanna make the tirp all the way to Vic.. you're welcome to join us!!

The more complex this trip gets the more intrigued I am by it....
2 and a half hours isn't that long on a boat. The one from NL to the main land is something like 12 hours or more, depending on where you get it.
EDIT: Thanks for the invite though, if I do make it out your way maybe i'll take you up on that.
Where are you at?: Edmonton, AB
How many days are you going for?: All of PAX, probably a 6 or 7 day trip total
Do you have a ride?: Probably renting a van and it will more than likely be full.
Do you have a room?: I have a tent, does that count?
Other necessary info: No parking on the dance floor.
Where are you at?: Surrey, BC
How many days are you going for?: the whole thing.
Do you have a ride?: no ride as of yet,
Do you have a room?: no room yet,
Other necessary info: i count as two people also, i've got a friend tagging along with me.
I think we're carpooling it from Victoria (me and gf)- anybody want a ride? Based on last year, it'll cost $30-$60 per person for gas/ferry, depending on how many of us there are.
hmm, a moment of your time to think something through. now, victoria is an island, and cars are not submersible... so logic would assume that you, Ninto would use a ferry to get to either the Tsawwassen ferry terminal or Horseshoe Bay. also, this would suggest that you would drive past or through vancouver in order to get to seattle... allowing you to pick up vancouverites.
long story short can my friend and i bum a ride =D? we can pay for gas 'n food n' such.
Where are you at?: Delta, BC (Again basically Vancouver)
How many days are you going for?: I'll be there Friday Morning until Sunday when they kick my ass all hopped up on Red Bull out.
Do you have a ride?: Yup, my beater '86 Prelude
Do you have a room?: Got one in the DoubleTree
Other necessary info: I am going down with my four buddies, so hotel and car is full. I also plan on playing WoW and trying D&D for the first time, and maybe getting back into some Magic.
I want to go to this thing so bad.
I really wish it wasnt at the very end of August, thats most likley exactly around the time my grade 12 year starts (im not sure though, it might be September something)
Location: Lacombe, Alberta
Ride: Nope, Not yet
What days: If i were to actually go, hopefully all of them. If not, Saturday.
Room: Notta
Other Crap: Im planning on bringing along my best friend, and I dont have my fucking drivers lisence yet (god damb tests)
Where are you at? Cranbrook, BC How many days are you going for? 3 days. Do you have a ride? Yes. Do you have a room? Yes. Other necessary info: If anyone needs a place to crash there, PM me.
Where are you at? Port Alberni, BC
How many days are you going for? Not exactly sure yet probably all 3
Do you have a ride? Yes
Do you have a room? No but planning on reserving after payday
Other necessary info: Contant me via email or msn if you are in the nanaimo area. Also, I am looking for a Battlefield team, so if you are into it we can start practicing as soon as they announce whether it will be a BF2 tourney or a DC tourney. Also, I hate the fact that the D&D tourney's are all booked. D&D tourney expanded, Me and my other friend from Port here have entered Fighter Division A and Open Division.
EDIT: Also looking to play a bit of WoW while I'm there. Ner'zhul Server Horde - Olozug 43 Orc Rogue.
If you don't get a ride... and you can get a bus down to vic, 6 of us from Vic are taking to Victoria Clipper to Seattle.. then it's only a 18min cab ride to the hotel.. or 30 min city bus ride.... depending how much cash you wanna spend!
anyways. you're welcome to join us!!
Cheers,

"we're just doing what smalllady told us to do" - @Heels
Hey thanks for the offer! My buddy has a car and we need to get our PC's across the strait too. I just got his confirmation that he wants to come and now we are gonna be in 2 of the 4 D&D division tournaments. So we will take his car across that way we can get the PCs over. If you want to co-orespond with us (since I am very new to these forums) you can visit my website at http://doe.guildportal.com and post in the thread there titled, "Me and Lucas are in one of the Biggest D&D tournaments in north america". hehe, What else I need is to find a team or potential team for BF tourny. But we aren't even sure if its a BF2 or DC tourny yet, gotta wait for BF2 to come out (if it hasn't yet) and after the tourny is announced (cause we don't know how big of a team we need or anything yet) I really need to get a team together for it. Anyhows you can MSN me if you like as well, oberon69@shaw.ca. I check my website forums every day too though. We can start a whole forum there for Islanders attending PAX if you want. Let me know, you can send mail to Olozug on my website too if you want and I will get back to you that way.
Where are you at?: Richmond, BC (Well, UVic at the moment, but I live in Richmond)
How many days are you going for?: All three.
Do you have a ride?: Almost certainly.
Do you have a room?: I'm not sure. Something will happen. If not, I can always just not sleep and roam the streets. I might be useless come the third day, there, though.
Other necessary info: For all of you who play 'The Game', I just lost.
Andwarf on
Most inanimate objects find me at least mildly agreeable!
I just pre-registered. I'll try and catch the clipper with you guys if thats alright, I'll have my PC with me, hopefully in a nice easy to carry package (I am devising something)
Where are you at?: Victoria, BC How many days are you going for?: The whole thing. Do you have a ride?: Well I was going to carpool it with my friend, but it turns out the Canadian Nationals for Magic the Gathering is the same weekend and he wants to go to that more so I'm stuck on my own again. For the cost and time of driving down there just for myself I might as well just take the clipper. Do you have a room?: Staying with my friend in Redmond Other necessary info: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
Where are you at?: Ottawa, ON.
How many days are you going for?: All three.
Do you have a ride?: yep
Do you have a room?:yep
Other necessary info: I'm actually pretty new to the forum and am not really going to know too many people at PAX. I'm looking to get as involved as possible though, and hopefully meet some cool people. Any helpful suggestions?
but a friend of mine said he saw on the news that in the next few months Canadian's will need a passport to get into the US no matter what. I havn't been able to find anything yet online to support this. So I was wondering if anyone else has heard anything???
Thanks!!

I haven't heard anything like that. I hope it's not true. After the fiasco of dressing up a cow and trying to pass it off as my grandmother...let's just say I don't need additional barriers to access the land of wine and honey.

I can take Vancouverites, sure, but only if they can help subsidize the ferry too. Otherwise my fellow Victorians will get preference...

Wear a nerdy t-shirt, and bring a portable nerdy game. You'll make friends quite easily.

BTW. is everyone bringing their fancy laptops? Or can I bring my big o' desktop? it's gonna suck to lug around in a gymbag..
I hope that doesn't require the 10$ bringing-your-own-computer fee, since I don't need, or want, any desktop space.
