Lol. No kidding. Leave your yoga mats and $10.00 lattes at home.

At least we got brew pubs!!

I am down

I'd be into it, but only if we spent time talking without people futszing with their phones/texts etc

Nothing I hate more than people spending time on their phones when we are in person

I mean, c'mon, can't you ignore your phone for a half hour while we talk ?

And have everyone break into a numbing cold sweat and go mute because trying to talk without the mutli task of texting at the same time paralyzes them with the fear of missing a blip and then pretend to have to go to the bathroom so they can check their phone....Seems like a little much to ask Gregory

I'm in, I think New Westminster is about as central as it gets for a get together, but I agree with Greg leave the phones "off", I mean really a cell phone is not a crucial body part that has to be up and running 24/7, we can actually talk to one another while we are trying to enjoy swapping reefing info and tips.

Good venue, willing to put up with us reef geeks, but too far for anyone east of Burnaby IMHO.

Mezz is too far for me, couldn't we find a place near JL?
That way I can shop too-lol

It's funny, Thomas and I were actually talking about doing something like this TWO DAYS before Ivan posted this, lol:

Complete with gratuitous nerdgasm.

Anyway, if this has legs, I'll go talk to Sube over the weekend about using Mezz

What day works for everyone?

*** We can even have some unofficial frag swapping on the side (shhhhh, super secret stuff).

***** Also, I am on call, I cannot turn off my phone. I don't look at it unless it rings though.
