If the place where we had the frag swap isn't too far for everyone, I could perhaps ask the guys that run the lounge to let us host our meetings there.

They have beer, wings and a bunch of different types of food as well as TVs incase we need to watch some boring reef videos

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 ?

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.

New Westminster looks pretty central on this lower mainland map and the Boathouse restaurant at Riverside Quay can offer an area for a get together in the back section of their restaurant at no charge just buy your beer, coffee or whatever and they have appie's too. They just need a bit of notice to set it up. And hey J&L and other LFS are not far away.

Have a look at this map >>> http://www.hellobc.com/getmedia/0311...nland.pdf.aspx
