S&T in Vancouver between Wed, Oct 2oth ~ Mon, Oct 25th

Vector, should I also bring Gamecube controllers (3)?

Dunno if your roommate only bought the Wii or if she has Gamecube/Wii/Virtual Console titles that use 'Cube controllers.

Edit: Can anyone confirm the GWJ Live podcast time as 6:30 PDT? It's posted as 7:30pm CST.

7:30pm CST (8:30pm EST) is 5:30pm PST for us. So if you want to catch the conference call from Vector's place, make sure you are there before then.

Sorry about doubling up on the cookies, Amoebic. Mine are store bought, so I'm sure your's will be much better. Regardless, you can never have too many cookies. Plus I'll also be bringing a container of sour berries form Costco. Muhahaha....I'm coming to give every one cavities.

I was mostly goofing - I actually kind of love the notion that as a group, we get down with cookies & beer. COOKIES & BEER!

One and a half days with nothing but sugar and alcohol? May God have mercy on our inevitably queasy stomachs.

I'm pretty sure she has gamecube controllers.

We don't have a lot for the Wii. We also do not have Rockband 2 from what I can tell

Wii
Super Mario Bros Wii
Super Mario Galaxy 2

360
Guitar Hero World Tour
Guitar Hero 5
Rockband
Rockband AC/DC

Just finished baking, gonna leave soon.

I'm makin a sign and putting it out front. There's also a blue car and Japanese Maple tree in the front. The house numbers are not viewable from the street.

Hmm. I completely spaced on food/drinks. I'll pick up something on the way; maybe a party pack of veggies or a big box of sausage rolls; do you have an oven there?

I'M VECTOR LOLS

Yeah there's an oven here if you get this in time - Vector says it runs a bit hot though.

We're still coming, I swear!

Tonight was a FREAKING BLAST. Although I don't think we were called during the live podcast, we showed all those other S&T's up with our fabulous flying penis [NSFW].

If it had a rainbow, I would have broken down in tears.

As a significant number of us live around Vancouver, we should have get-togethers more often.

Definitely.

FTFY.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my ham!

Had a great time! Thanks again Vector for letting me crash there. I'm surprised at how little gaming we actually did and how much just talking and laughing was had. Was a great party and I want more of Tamren's sticky balls.

Mmm sticky balls. This is how many I have left.

I don't often get an excuse to make these. A full batch can make over 40. I gave away some to the neighbours but every time I end up with a lot of leftovers.

Had a great time. I've been to 5 slap and tickles to date and half the fun is talking with people.

Tamren, your balls look mighty tasty.

Ha ha! I bet you're still eating it too! And you'll have a horrible stomach ache, and your roomies will have to put you out of your misery.

I had a great time and would definitely love to do it again, sooner rather than later would be better.

It was great playing Dominion for the first time. I'm hooked now, and will be picking up a copy soon. Any one know what is the best/cheapest place to get a copy locally?

Oh, and Amoebic...your cookies were delicious. Much better than my Costco ones.

Starlight Citadel has good prices and you can pick it up downtown instead of paying shipping. I haven't tried them myself, but I've heard good things.

That's the place. It replaced the travel place that's visible here. (Same place, slightly different angle, with the store in the center of the image).

Great little place!

[Edit: This is Philosofrenzy posting...evidently she was the last person logged in to the site on the PC... SHOCKING!]

YES! There's a little place right in New Westminster that sells boardgames, on average, 25%-30% below the usual retail price! I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that it's located here on Clarkson near the corner of Clarkson & Begbie. It's a brand new place, and I don't remember the name, but if I recall correctly it's right past the green awning there. I'm going to have my husband double-check my google-fu tomorrow and confirm if I found the right place on the map here.

Had an awesome time on Saturday with everyone, watching the CC, and playing Castle Ravenloft. Thank you Vector for hosting! Best penis drawing party evar.

More like him out of their misery; ham tends to make people pretty gassy!
