Vancouver isn't much of a casino town, you might want to head to some of the Washington State casinos. I think the Tualip one's right off I-5 are about the nicest & closest. As far as in-town, you can head to River Rock. Regarding 'safety'... this is Vancouver, if you wanted, you could probably walk down any street at any time of day without much cause for worry.
Not sure if a beer night ever came through, but why don't we try for another? How is Friday the 28th? We could meet at Steamworks by the sea bus, which is hopefully central and easy to access. Anyone have a preference for time? We could try for 2:00 and wind down from the week together. I'd suggest 7:00, but good luck getting a table at that time What do you think?
Beer sounds fine with me. I suggest we go on a day when it might not be so busy and maybe to a place where we will be able to hear each other. We went to milestones in yaletown one time and it was a good atmosphere. We could all hear each other and they got decent food. I will go with whatever you guys decide.
At 2:00pm, there shouldn't be a problem getting a table or being heard no matter where we go. Advantage of working on Eastern Time while living on the West Coast
OK people ..is this meeting On or is it not sure yet ? Is the Friday the 28 at 2:00PM at SteamWorks Watch Gastown?? Let's see how many of us.. Consider me Chuck being there, rain or shine! Let's hear you crowd..
I booked a table for 6 at 2:00pm, this Friday the 28th of April at Steamworks under the name 'elitetrader.com' so we will have an easy way to meet. Here's a map if you need directions: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=375+Water+Street,+Vancouver,+BC&hl=en&om=1 Hope to see you all there!
Finally a nice sunny day here in Vancouver. Well my time is done here, I'm off to Europe in a few weeks. Later suckers.
