**Zyada** is coming to Vancouver, and would like to meet all the Dopers from this area. I’m thinking of dinner on Saturday, January 13, 2001. (I just wanted to type the year on that!) Of course, I have no idea just where, but I’ll get to that. We could do seafood, or Chinese, or ???. Anybody who’s interested, please post, and mail me at ``` bob_ca_1@yahoo.ca ``` ---

I’ll be there. 😛 ---

If I’m not cultivating sore legs and risking severe injury in Whistler, I’ll be there (wherever “there” is: any variety of food is fine; lowest variety of prices a preference). And just to clarify, you _are_ talking about Vancouver, B.C., as I gather from your EB posts. ---

Hi rjk~ I can get free that day, is anyone coming from the Seattle area who could stop in Bellingham and pick me up? Or even drop someone off so I don’t have to drive to Vancouver alone? I would prefer not to drive up by myself. But, either way, I will plan on coming. Scotti ---

Good thing you’ll be there, **Zyada** , since it’s all in your honour! 😉 Yes, **aviddiva** , Vancouver, B.C. And isn’t dinner with Dopers better than _any_ damaged leg? And Whistler isn’t safe, I hear, even if you don’t ski. **Scotti!** I was hoping you’d be able to make it! If nobody volunteers, we’ll start spamming everybody from the Seattle area until somebody picks you up. ---

I don’t know… I’ve successfully avoided Vancouver thus far. ---

I would love to go, but for the fact that I’m in Prince George… Rest assured if I were still living in the valley I would’ve been there. ---

I wish I could try! I’d better start my weight loss plan so I fit in the carry-on luggage. ---

I’d have to start some serious weight training, too. (I don’t think I could lift Kate Moss right now) ---
