[helen450]

....counted my left over canadian money from last year......~25CAD....majority is change that the currency exchange wouldn't accept at either Vancouver airport or Phoenix airport.

I'll trade you: I'll give you bills for the coins.

I have a $5 bill and the rest is loonies, toonies, etc.

@Mamasue9: What, no Moonies? The new $5 Canadian coin?

I'll have to break the $5 to buy a skytrain ticket to Metrotown when I arrive.

Krisz, I have another one for your seating chart. My niece, Nessie, is coming again this year and she's in seat B 25

Actually, assuming you're coming from YVR (airport), it'll take your WHOLE $5 plus an extra $3.50 (or $2.50 if after 6pm or on a weekend). Unless someone is picking you up and can get you a ticket from a non-YVR machine (in which case it would be sans $5).

The $5 is an airport surcharge. grrr. I dislike it.

Official Final GateWorld Dinner Sign-Up

Earl's -- 4361 Kingsway (just around the block from the hotel)

It's officially time to start planning for what will (sadly) be the final official GateWorld dinner in Vancouver. Our home for the past several years (Sammy J Peppers) closed their doors, so I was tasked with finding a new and last home for us that was nearby and could accomodate all of us. It wasn't an easy job.

Prices for menu items are mostly comparable to previous years. Attending the dinner does not mean you HAVE to eat. The potential size of this year's group -- between forum members, special guests (some are con guests, some are NOT), and Stargate crew -- means that eating may need to be staggered no matter how we do it. Rest assured though, between the spacious lounge area we'll have, the cast and crew drop-ins I'm setting up, potential prize giveaways and the later closing time (11pm)...we're all going to make this final dinner one not to forget.

To sign up, simply reply to this post, add your forum name in the appropriate area, and remove the quote tags. It's as simple as that. Please also indicate if you plan on bringing guests (+1, +2, etc.). Extra guests are fine, but only forum members can win any potential prizes we giveaway.

Finally, Earl's has stated that giving them a menu list of our choices is unnecessary. However, as an aid to both them and us, we're doing it anyway. After reviewing the menu off their site, please PM mamasue9 with your items. She'll be keeping tabs over the next 10 weeks.

Can't wait to see all of you in Stargate's hometown one final time!

AG ~ nope, you are right, NO bears, I swear it. Not once(or ten times)did i wake up in the morning and see my garbage cans strewn across the lawn and had to stay home from school..nope, never.

and if anyone else wants anything from Kelowna let me know. Keeping in mind I am poor

That's a relief, I was dreaming then, only in a dream would I see two real live, rather LARGE bears wandering along in my housing complex parking lot, about 30 feet away from me as I walked to my car early one autumn morning!

It's weird to feel awe and fear at the same time!

Those weren't bears, those were ill mannered, hairy Canadians!!

I should know. We have enough of them here in Alberta.

[Krisz]

Krisz, I have another one for your seating chart. My niece, Nessie, is coming again this year and she's in seat B 25

Updated seating chart.




SweetTart: Welcome to the thread, look forward to meeting you too!
