And well when it gets closer , im inviting anyone willing to drive down there , to come and spend a day having a little gettogether with alot of Computers , Lan gaming , Latest Creations from programmers , new language breakthroughs , really a geeks paradise for a day , and lots of food , So just letting you know that at hte end of June yor all invited to A compsci Convention , More details will be posted in time , to ressurect this thread whe nits on page 50.

Interesting. It's close enough for me to get there, if I want to. It sounds like fun, apart from the fact that going there would forever label me as a geek. Oh well.. 8)

[Mazer]

At the end of... June?

[Dan]

hummm, i think 13.5 hours (there, another 13 back) may be a bit of a drive but may be.....

[Tony]

shorthair : check on the date again And get back to me on that, sound like an interesting idea.

dan : you not allowed to go to univercity untill you attend the 'convention'

[wtd]

Vancouver.

[Tony]

lets host compsci convention in Vancouver during the winter break! I hear they got some awesome slopes for snowboarding/skiing 8)

haha umm... though it is a bit out there... lets hear what shorthair has in mind with his idea.

Ya! They got some amazing slopes for skiing/snowboarding. I used to live out west, in Edmonton. Not quite vancouver, but still close enough to ski in the rockies, at Banff, Whistler, Lake Louise, etc.

But ya, it is a bit out there.

Oh all right...

Victoria, and that's my final offer.

[naoki]

i'd like to go there and eat some free food, but that would really be the main selling point. and since i can't eat for 6 hours straight, i'd hafta talk about programming or play a LAN game

hehe, if you're willing to buy anyone who comes a ticket to the CNE then that's a better deal

[Tony]

i might be making this up, but I think CNE has group discounts if its over 25 of us. Which I think we could put together

wtd - Victoria is geographically further away from Toronto than Vancouver

Maybe we can find a few TVs and xboxes and play some halo? 8)

you know what? I'm really excited about such an idea. Though perhaps it would work out best if we can get a booth at some more publicized computer show? Lets hear some ideas

Yes. That was the point of the comment.

On the other had, when you start thinking on those scales, it is about equidistant from all of the other locations.

[Paul]

I can come provided that I get my G2 by that time, I'll drive on the highway even if I'm not suppose to at G2
