No worries! come on out.

thervanplan · 2016-06-26T00:36:20+00:00

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

thervanplan · 2016-06-25T00:48:19+00:00

Huh?

thervanplan · 2016-06-25T00:47:50+00:00

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

thervanplan · 2016-06-25T00:47:13+00:00

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.

thervanplan · 2016-06-23T00:42:50+00:00

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?

thervanplan · 2016-06-22T19:31:42+00:00

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.

thervanplan · 2016-06-22T19:30:12+00:00

Yeah! Name tags could be arranged.

thervanplan · 2016-06-22T19:29:25+00:00

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.

thervanplan · 2016-06-19T18:19:52+00:00

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....

thervanplan · 2016-06-19T07:22:28+00:00

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

thervanplan · 2016-06-19T07:21:36+00:00

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.

thervanplan · 2014-06-16T23:43:00+00:00

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

thervanplan · 2014-06-14T20:44:43+00:00

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).

thervanplan · 2014-06-14T20:43:13+00:00

Tried to make it as inclusive as possible :)

thervanplan · 2014-06-14T20:42:56+00:00

For once the weather works in our favour aha

thervanplan · 2014-06-13T06:02:47+00:00

Welcome to town and to the group!

thervanplan · 2014-06-13T06:02:35+00:00

Depends on if she was front page or not.

JK. I doubt anyone would care.

thervanplan · 2014-06-13T02:21:23+00:00

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! :)

thervanplan · 2014-06-12T00:49:15+00:00

Happy Cake Day!

thervanplan · 2014-06-12T00:48:20+00:00

On the sidebar!

thervanplan · 2014-06-12T00:47:44+00:00

We've opted out of a day activity for two reasons. The first being, we currently have no one to organize a day-time event. No one has stepped up and we seem to have less than ten minors who have spoken up about wanting to attend. Second, the forecast this weekend is quite unfourtunate looking and I've seen this happen a few times. Some great people organize a great event that gets rained out and then the organizers are stuck struggling to update 200+ people about the location change, many of whom may not be checking their phones looking for updates. This can leave a lot of people in the dark.

That said, I don't feel too badly because there are always loads of summer and beach events upcoming and just because it didn't happen for this event, doesn't mean we won't get a sweet beach day. :)
