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.
Lol at the bottom part of the convo.

I'd be down for meet.

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

I say a pub like Jon Bs or townhall coquitlam which is 5 minute drive from JL is a pretty good choice. Just a thought

I have avoided going to all of these things due to the location.
How on earth is the Mezz central to everyone? Unless the only people you consider being worth including are from Richmond and Vancouver.

East New West or South Coquitlam or near JL are good options. They leave lots of room for Fraser valley people to join. Those from Surrey or Richmond can opt to take a free bridge. Its right along Highway 1 so easy access for those from the valley or West Van. But still main roads and highways for those coming from Delta, van, or Richmond. Lots of options like Braid Station for those who have to travel by Transit. TONS of restaurant options within that area.

Wellp, no law that says there can't be multiple outtings for multiple neighborhoods

Mezz has been wicked for us thus far. Great food (really, it's honestly something I look forward to all the time), awesome atmosphere, and Sube and Derrick have been gracious enough to provide us with a great venue without so much as a request that we give them a few days notice.

mezz is a great place just sucks its in Richmond....45 minutes driving for me. Guys from poco, maple ridge, or even further would have a tough time justify driving all the way there. Once a year.....for sure buddy.

Now I know for a fact everyone goes to JL, so once a month meet around JL is mor likely and realistic to organize. We can try one first and see how it goes and next one can be some where else.

I'd be in for JBs
I'd personally prefer a pub over a restaurant. This way we can go whenever we choose and no worries about ordering dinner just to 'hang out'
Anyone can drop-in anytime while we're there

Jon B's sounds good to me it's pretty central for everyone to get to.
