Okay, so I know I've been terribly delinquent in posting, but here is the Eventbrite link for YVR Do signup (also to be added to the wiki shortly). Please sign up for walking tours/dinners so I have proper numbers to give venues, there may be some wiggle room for people who try signing up after all "tickets" are gone, but not much. For the flights I have had to go with Eventbrite pre-payment as I have to reserve the flights in advance with names, which unfortunately bumped the price up to $188 CDN with their fees. If something has to be changed after booking, please notify me by PM ASAP and I'll see what I can sort out.
Friday night dinner: Craft Beer Market - a place with 100+ beers on tap. I did promise beer.
Saturday night dinner: Yaletown Brewing Company (menu) - okay, more beer wasn't supposed to be the plan, but the food is good, and most importantly they'll allow a group of just over 30 to order directly from the menu, rather than forcing a set menu or "family style dining" ... I had no idea how difficult it would be to avoid that with semi-large groups in Vancouver!!
I'll go update the map next.
