the future is now

Yes, don't get too excited: I'm leaving on Monday for three months in Africa, where I plan to write news stories, build water filters, stop disease and save the children. And that means I'll have to say good-bye to the trappings of civilization. I'm not going without a fight: I propose a day of the most ridiculous things the First World has ( Read more... )

I'm in as early as I can get there. Let's see if it's possible to get a private room @ karaoke...

how much does it cost to rent a segway?

_jonjuan_ June 6 2006, 02:12:59 UTC

Two for $99, they tell me. I'm still enquiring and maybe we could get a package deal...

Well I'll still be in the midst of studying & writing papers while you have your Bon Voyage fun...boo! But it sounds like you're off for an excellent adventure which you will have to take many pictures of & post them if you can, or @ least show us all when you get back! Best of luck & have fun!

-also if you're still in town on June 17th there is a party @ Basil's-

How about a BBQ for your "Dinner in Pill Form" anonymous June 6 2006, 03:20:44 UTC

Step one, read: http://robert-cross.livejournal.com/

Summary:
YOU SHOULD COME TO OUR BBQ ON THAT DAY AS WELL.
You come to our party, I'll come to yours. And bring everyone with you. Everyone.
For more information, contact Jordie at his e-mail or blog, or reply to "my blog".

Also, how much for the segway rides, I've always wanted to ride one.

P.S. - There's no reason our two parties can't peacefully coexist, it would be the first-world thing to do, right? Better our neighbours while bettering ourselves? And what's more First World then a BBQ?

An excellent plan from the venerable Rob Cross! I'll bring an obscene First World amount of food. I hear Ugandan cuisine is an oxymoron.

I'm about to post this again, but the Granville Island place is booked; there is a place in Coal Harbour that is $45/hour -- more pricey than I'd hoped but surely we can split it up. I've booked eight machines for two hours beginning at 1:00. I need to know by Thursday what's up.

You should come, though! Bring all your friends, and they can all climb aboard when we're out of sight...

Awesome, glad you're coming, bring everyone you can.
And remember:
1. We're providing the meat/meat-alternative and buns for said meat/meat-alternative
2. Come around 6 or 7ish
3. Bring any kind of other dish to share with others. Make it good.

Word.
Now to convince Jordie to join for the Kareoke portion of ye' party.
(Bad news is that I won't be able to join for the segueyin' as I'll probably still be at work at that point. Sorry dude).

By the way, more direct contact is available at rob dot cross at gmale dot commie.
