Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday April 13 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

If we don't do YVR on Saturday, I could still meet you and nomadic.relief in YKA on Sunday. I would just take WS YYC-YKA on the Sunday and fly out the next day. Or maybe I'd fly YYC-YVR-YKA. I'd have to think about the value of the Aeroplan at 50% off vs the simplicity of just flying WS. I have a few spare bookings that I could move around. I'd have to think about it, I just woke up from a nap and am not at 100% yet.
I stupidly don't have any short-haul Aeroplan bookings so maybe YVR makes more sense

If people are looking at YKA (where I'll be) it'd have to be capped at 5 additional attendees, restaurants are mostly capped at 6 guests. It'd definitely be an outdoor space, there are a few nice patios I could book. And I've realised I am working the Sat, so wouldn't be in town until 7ish, but Sunday is open. Again, great patios for brunch/lunch/dinner, but I'd have to leave town that night by 8 or so for next job.

Dang, I missed out on all the chatter. I've been thinking of visiting Vancouver and Whistler in lieu of YYT next week, since I've taken the time off already. I'd be interested in meeting up for something in YVR/YKA if it happens!

I was thinking about traveling east next weekend, but YVR or YKA are also an option. Count me in for now.

So, cow, with you doing this YVR mini-Do tonight, is the virtual Do dead? Or are you going to open it and make someone else host so it can continue in your absence?

I'll be in my hotel on my laptop when the virtual do starts, so it's definitely running today.

I'll make someone else a host if they think they'll be staying on, and I'll make pretty much everyone a co-host as usual.

Given that the virtual do tends to run later than restaurants/bars are open, I'm sure I'll be back on later anyway.

There are now two Canadiancows on the Zoom DO.

Rulev violation, except when it's the person hosting and paying for Zoom.

I'll bounce on soon. Once I'm finished this glass of wine.

It's nice outside.



The view from my wine glass.

Just in time for me to be on my way to a dinner out. Oh crap, we're leaving in 5 min!

But I'll try joining later if anyone East of YYC is still on.
