Thanks for arranging it & getting a table!   (Also for posting table location ~that was key.) I enjoyed meeting people & talking of goals & adventures

Next time I will attend if it was a Thursday (as I usually work Fridays til 6:30pm)

Chaplin good luck in your home hunt  ~ https://househuntvictoria.ca/ is the forum i mentioned if you want to see some stats (or get lost in comments from strangers)

Echoing Curlyfry's thanks to you for organizing this RC. I'd be up for another one pretty much any 'ol time. It's is always great to match faces with forum monikers as well as see familiar faces again.

Made my ferry with ease...made even easier by the fact it's 30 minutes late.  Thanks for the offers to those who offered lodging should I be stranded.

The only real downside to the evening was that I was unable to get Stasher's critique of my wool PNW evening wear.

(I did have to google what a Stanfield was & then realized you were indeed on point!)

Yes, great to see RC and JS again, and meet TrMama and CurlyFry for the first time. I missed one person who left just before I arrived apparently.

Thanks for all the thoughts about local schools and housing!

The only real downside to the evening was that I was unable to get Stasher's critique of my wool PNW evening wear.

Well, good material selection but too little plaid, facial hair and piercings. Bonus points for the toque.

Haha....thanks. Great gear for muckin' about outside, no so much in a pub setting (hot and a touch itchy).

Great to meet you Curlyfry....TRMama, you as well!

And also the owner of one of the sneaky brilliant forum handles I've seen in a while...Canuckiwi. :)

Well, the toque stayed on to spare everyone the sight of my just recently shorn head. My skull is freakishly pointy.

Great meetup! Thanks so much for organizing it, RC. It was great to meet everyone too. I should be able to make either a Friday or Thursday evening next time. Hopefully I won't have to leave so early next time either.

Glad you all had a great time, sorry I couldn't make the meet up everyone. My son said the Malahat was a bit of a gong show so I'm glad I chose to avoid it. @Jon_Snow when we have a really good weather window I will ride my bike across the islands to your place......and sorry I couldn't comment on your PNW attire lol

At least during the May meetup the Malahat better not have snow and 1hr long accident backups from ice:)
