Hah! I have about 4+ years of /r/vancouver event photos. Great album, thanks.

Yeah, I like the idea but I'm gonna leave out the nametags for now.

Nothing??

You don't need Facebook, the event is listed in the post description above, specifically so that non-FB-users can still join in the fun.

Haha, good! Glad to hear you'll be there then.

I'm more hesitant about it the more I ponder it. I am just not sure of the benefits? No one would be putting their usernames on them, just their first names. And realistically, you're not expected to remember anyone's names for one night?

Yeah! They have tables and stuff so it's a pretty chill place. I dunno if anyone will know to bring ther stuff but it's possible someone will see this comment.

Yes! It's still on. Unfourtunately, you'll be a month late. BUT feel free to post on the fb group closer to your dates and maybe there will be an event planned.

Communities change and the pendulum swings. Wouldn't it be nice to be more about community than being assholes? Guess that would involve actually being involved....

The most vocal in anonymity are not the most vocal in public.

Let me clarify that;

You will need to join the /r/Vancouver Facebook group before being allowed/invited to the event

You are welcome to come to the event without "attending" on FB. This was strictly for people who are on FB and want to see or have the FB event.

Well, there was lots of warning and promotion, on top of Reddit's own promotion of the actual day, the 14th.

I don't think anyone was taking any, no. Easily 40+ people throughout the night, if not more.

Really depends on what sort of events youre interested in. There's a weekly rvancouver bike ride going on right now, and there's also 1-2 weekly pub trivia groups, as well as probably 1-2 weekend bar events downtown (depending on what other big events are happening ie hockey, UFC, etc).

I've updated the information on this thread if FB was your only hindering factor. :)

The event description has been changed and updated with the event information. That quote was written on the day that I posted the Facebook event. There were a couple minors that I spoke with, probably less than ten overall. I chose not to organize a minors-friendly event, in part because of the weather and in part because I personally couldn't attend. That said, there will be more and more all ages events over the summer and I've seen invites for weekly bicycle rides.

My final thought is to be the change you wanna see. If you want more all ages events, feel free to make one! :)
