Monthly social meetup in LM?

[BobFish]

I am in Abbotsford, new west isn't bad, but van, burnaby and richmond are to far for me....made it to the frag swat, but it was a long haul for me.

Wellp, Ivan, myself and a couple others are gonna just go hang out for some grub on Tuesday at Mezz. This is not an event, just a couple nerds getting together to talk reef and gossip about how crappy sixline wrasses are. 7pm for anyone interested. No need for a reservation.

Good for you for taking some initiative. However, since Richmond is one big confusing maze of no-man's-land to North Vancouverites, I have to defer.

I will wait until we have established a site near J&L as it seems the most mentioned site. That's not to say there isn't another viable option.

Guess we'll all have to start our own threads for places to meet ...

I don't agree, lol. There's just a lot of separate conversations converging in one place and it makes for a lot of noise. So far as I can see, there's about four minutes worth of planning should anyone up at Burnaby + North Van feel like putting something together. It's not like you gotta make reservations to get a buncha people out for some drinks and food

Anyway, social meet at JL Saturday, end of month, 7 PM. Bam, if someone wants to take the reigns on that one, you have an instant meet up

Albert, if I go to your party, can I bring my phone?

You can spend the entire duration of the dinner with strapped to the side of your face for all I care :P

Honestly, if we can't keep someone's attention on the topic at hand, then there's no real reason to get together. I highly doubt that it's going to be an issue though. This is not to put down the 'no phone' idea, as I see a lot of value in severing the umbilical cord many of us have grown to our smart devices -- But I'm not going to ostracize or proselytize to someone who's developed an addiction (and it IS an addiction!). Here's a sobering thought for y'all; who still remembers phone numbers told to them without a pen and paper anymore?
