Pre-Convention Get Together (unofficial)

[Krisz]

Great news! I like Earls, they always do a good job with large groups. I've been to a couple of con gatherings at Earl's in Downtown Vancouver in the past and they've been great fun, the food and service very good.

Hi Sam, newbies welcome here! I have put you on the wait list for now, but I am hoping that Earls will be ok with the extras. They will let me know closer to the date. 😊

Thank you, Antlantia.
But please note that my nickname is SamC - because there's also a "Sam" in this forum.

Hi Paisjumper,
Welcome to our little gathering. 
I just wanted to let you know that this is a pre-convention get together, not the official meet and greet. The limit has been reached but i am putting extras on the wait list. Full details on page 1. Can you confirm you are looking to attend this dinner please, then I will add you to the wait list? Thanks. ☺

Great! I have added you to the wait list. Earl's will advise closer to the date how many extras we can add.

Just a quick reminder that this dinner is a chance for us to get together. Meet old friends and make new ones. There will not be any of the guest actors attending. We had a great time with previous events like this and I cant wait to get there.

I have finally booked my flights. 23hrs flying, 29hrs all up. 😲

Geez, twenty-three hours in a plane.  I don't envy you that.  But it will be worth it. 

[Nell]

Atlantia, A big honkin' thanks for all your work to set up our pre-con get together!!!

[Atlantia]

You're welcome. 😀

One thing I'm renowned for is taking bucket loads of pics... A few years ago when I went around the world in 7 weeks I took around 4000 


*SamC, ironically my last name starts with a C so when I saw it I had to look twice thinking I'd put that instead of just Sam.. can't wait to meet everyone*

Hi Paisjumper,
I think there are a few like you (including me). Although it is not far from the Hotel, it is still a liitle bit to far.  I feel a new list coming on! For those of you who also feel that walking is just a bridge to far, let me know and I will organise shared rides with taxi's etc. Advise me of any walking aids as well so I don't overload any modes of transport. If any of the locals would like to offer seats in their cars, feel free to post here.

Thinking, thinking.... ooohhh 🔆 I will see if they have Maxi taxi's and get some pricings. It may be cheaper. 😊
