Hey Tom,
How about we meet at your place either after or before the dinner so we can all "ooohhh, ahhhh" at your beautiful reef tanks. That should up the interest in getting this dinner off the ground.
We're all suckers for a mini-tank tour (even 1 stop).
For those going from Vancouver or Burnaby/New West, we can meet at my place & carpool over there to be more environmentally friendly.
Anthony
