All those places are good for me.

My schedule is pretty clear after this week.

Great, lets spread the word. I'm excited to meet as many people from here as possible. Lets say next week, perhaps Tues, around 6pm? Or anyone have any preferences? Thursday at 8pm? Friday???

Next Tuesday at 6pm is good for me. However, I work out in the boonies and would rather meet "in the middle", say Commercial drive or Burnaby location.

Keith Loh
March 19th, 2004, 12:53 PM
Anywhere on the Drive is acceptable to me. Is the Wasubeez still there?

Ronald Lee
March 19th, 2004, 12:58 PM
I thought of Wasubeez, except that they have loud music....Keith, perhaps you can flex your biceps and tell them to turn it down when we meet?

Keith Loh
March 19th, 2004, 01:12 PM
Yea loud music not so good ... hmmm ... there must be some large coffee shops around that area.

I'd be interested in meeting up next tuesday. How about Bukowski's on commercial?

Keith Loh
March 19th, 2004, 01:43 PM
Depends how many commit. Bukowskis can be a bit cramped if you don't get the right table. It would have to be reserved, as well.

Corey MacGregor

There's also Cafe Deux Soleils. They serve coffee, beer and at that time there should be plenty of room.

Dylan Couper

what the hell...

I'm in.

I don't live downtown, but I'll vote for anywhere with big tables, and quiet so we can talk.


Keith, have you and I ever met up for anything except sushi when its a business meeting?

Denny Lajeunesse

Tues. 6pm is fine with me too.

Wasubees doesn't always have loud music. Not sure if they do around 6pm though. Cafe Doux solei would be good. Beers better anyway.

If I had an idea how many of us there will be I could phone and ask if that number will be a problem. I live 2 block form Bukowskis and wasubees and 7 blocks from Cafe deux Solei (or is it "dis" solei.. whatever the one near 7th is, the north one is tiny) so any of those is good for me. :)

Ronald Lee

Any of those places is fine.

Also consider if they will be busy with the dinner crowed (meaning less seats) around 6pm as well. Really, we can go anywhere and just tell them to turn the music down or well send Keith to tenderize them.

I'm into meeting more video people, and I'm going to bring some friends who are in the film industry or want to do video, as well.

David Stone
March 19th, 2004, 03:57 PM
Anywhere on Commercial Drive Tuesday at 6pm is OK by me. Just let me know where and I will be there.

Keith Loh
March 19th, 2004, 06:31 PM
Any chance we can make it later than 6? Some people might have trouble making the commute during rush hower. How about 7?

Ronald Lee
March 19th, 2004, 07:25 PM
Now he says so...

Well 6-7pm is a good time frame to start a meeting. And then its to Keith's place for the *real* party.

Keith Loh
March 19th, 2004, 07:27 PM
How about a clean up party?

Dylan Couper
March 19th, 2004, 07:40 PM
<<<-- Originally posted by Keith Loh : How about a clean up party? -->>>

I guess I shouldn't tell them about your hot tub on the balcony, or Heidi and Marlena your roomates.

Ronald Lee
March 19th, 2004, 11:30 PM
You mean his dolls?, cough, I mean rooommaaates?

Dylan Couper
March 21st, 2004, 09:07 PM
So whats the final plan? Who is going? WHen? Where?

Ronald Lee
March 21st, 2004, 09:25 PM
Well, it looks like 6pm at one of three places. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, possibly we can work together in the future. I just hope people actually show up, yuk yuk.

Keith Loh
March 21st, 2004, 09:44 PM
Just pick a place. I've never been to this Cafe de Soleil. Let's go there. Meet starting 630-7pm Tuesday.

Ronald Lee
March 21st, 2004, 10:05 PM
Ok, fine.

Let's all *TRRRYYY* to be at Cafe Du Soleis at 6pm. Corey, looking forward to meeting you man, what is the location and do they serve food there?

If people want to veto that and meet at Wasubeez instead, then speak up *now*.

Dylan Couper
March 22nd, 2004, 12:14 AM
Can you guys give me directions?

What type of place is Wasubeez? Sounds neo-Japanese.

Keith Loh
March 22nd, 2004, 12:41 AM
Wasubeez is just a regular hangout bistro.

Denny Lajeunesse
March 22nd, 2004, 10:24 AM
I say cafe de Soliei. Its around 7th ave on Comercial. There is a small place with a similar name north of 1st so don't get mixed up. :)

Are we for sure on the 6pm time? If so see you there, if not lets decide right now.

Denny

David Stone
March 22nd, 2004, 10:36 AM
Hi Denny, your suggestion is good with me. Give me a call about the mixer.

Keith Loh
March 22nd, 2004, 11:00 AM
Okay, I'm wandering in sometime after 6pm on Tuesday, Cafe de Soleil.

Frank Granovski
March 22nd, 2004, 12:22 PM
Where on Commercial Drive is "Cafe de Soleil?"

Is that a coffee shop?

Is that 6:00 PM tomorrow?

Dylan Couper
March 22nd, 2004, 06:00 PM
6pm tomorrow (Tuesday) Frank.

I guess it's between 6th and 7th on commercial. Hope you can make it, looking forward to meeting you. :)

I'll bring a (still) camera.

Frank Granovski
March 22nd, 2004, 06:20 PM
6th and 7th? Hmmm. Beside the post office?

Denny Lajeunesse
March 22nd, 2004, 08:43 PM
pretty much. Cafe Deux Soleils, 2096 Commercial

Its a cafe/restaurant with good beer on tap.

Denny

How is anyone supposed to recognize anyone else?

David Stone
March 22nd, 2004, 11:45 PM
I'll put a "reserved for DVinfoNet" on the table. The only catch is if I get there a bit late.

Frank Granovski
March 22nd, 2004, 11:58 PM
How is anyone supposed to recognize anyone else?As my wife often says, "big, huge fat body, a scary ugly face." :-)) I'll be carrying a Lowepro Vidcam 2 bag, with an old manual SLR. How about, the big guy with the balding head. Ahh, I give up! Just look at my pic on the Wrangler bio site.

Complete with the glow effect? Wow, that must freak people out when you walk down the street. :)

Keith Loh

And the weather gets heavenly in my steps...

Ronald Lee
March 23rd, 2004, 01:41 AM
Keith walks up and down commercial drive bare chested, a la' the picture.

hmm, how about everyone bring a camera to I.D. ourselves. He with the biggest one wins. OR, he with the most toys wins. Take your pick.

Dylan Couper

OMG. I can't believe you posted that pic. You may be my new hero, at least for the day!

Keith Loh

Ronald, that would be an ideal night for robbers to come away with a stash beyond their wildest dreams.

I think my XL1S stays home.

I'm glad I finally got to meet all of you this evening! Interesting crowd! Hopefully the pic I took of the waitress will turn out. :-))

Dylan Couper
March 24th, 2004, 12:06 AM
I can confirm that Frank is actually a real person, not a computer AI, like many of us had suspected. He also showed me this really cool camera that records the image on something called -film-.

Frank Granovski
March 24th, 2004, 12:14 AM
Film? What else is there?

Man, that coffee was strong. I'm buzzing. At $1.25 a cup, I'll have to come back. Maybe tomorrow, just to grab a coffee.

Dylan, I didn't know you were so tall! And Keith has quite the hair style. :-))

Keith Loh
March 24th, 2004, 01:11 AM
Yea, I had two of those coffees and I'll be up for at least ..



ZZZZZZZZZZZ... (didn't counteract my so-called 'non-drowsy' antihistamines...)

Anyways, next time there is a gathering somebody let me know, hehe
