Post a reply if you plan on being there so I can make a reservation. Please post by Wednesday; thanks!

The plan is to meet at 6 pm at the Boston Pizza by Save-On-Foods on Dec 1. Hopefully we'll do better with bus schedules this time.

#102 - 3510 Blanshard Street

UPDATE: Reservation made, destination changed (see above).

I'm coming, for sure!

I wasn't at today's meeting because I felt terribly ill until... about the time the meeting started. Go figure. By that time I didn't feel much like socializing anyways. But I'm looking forward to Saturday. ;)

I'll be there! And I will probably be completely incoherent with exhaustion!

Sorry I missed the meeting today. I really wanted to be there, but then I had a unit plan to write and a test to study for. Sadly, I've been working all day and have only accomplished half of one of those two little items.

Yeah, I won't be sleeping tonight. Again.

So nope, won't be there. But I hope everyone has a fantastic time!

We have a reservation for 15 people at the Boston Pizza at Saanich Plaza (between Blanchard & Douglas by Save-On-Foods) at 6:00 pm.

The reservation is under Nanowrimo.

(Yes, I know we were going to try for the BP at Hillside & Blanshard, but they were full).

Damn. It's Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays.

I *think* I'll be there. I may have to leave early though.

Sorry for the late response. My novel abruptly died, and I haven't really been on much since then.

Erm, the reservation is for the first.

This is a Saturday, for any who are confused. Or even confuzled.

How would one get there from UVic?
Is anyone else going from nearby that I can tag along with? I'm notorious for getting lost... If there isn't anyone, point by point bus directions, as well as glowy arrows in the sky would be appreciated. Heh...

From what I can tell, the 26 will get you there most directly. Get off at Saanich & Blanshard. The last 26 back to UVic is at 12:20 am (so that should work for most people).

I'm in a concert with the UVIC choir on that day at 8pm at Uvic. Therefore, if i come it will be for a very short time indeed. which boston pizza is this? By which Save-on? Can you be more specific? I hope I can come, at least for an hour. Will anybody be there if I show up early?

Edit: I just noticed the post above me. so there's a BP near towm and Country mall then? And If its going that late, I may be albe to swing by after my concert. But don't reserve for me (I realize I'm a day late anyway.)

Thanks! I'll write the time of the last one on my hand in Sharpie so I don't miss it. And if I get lost on the way there, I'm sure hilarity will ensue, and it will most likely give me a plot for next year's Nano. Hooray!

Ben, I'll be going from UVic so we could get hilariously lost together? (I have to admit that I have a terrible track record for getting the bus anywhere that isn't downtown. Be warned!)

Well, I take the 26 too, only I get it at Shelbourne and Mckenzie instead of right from UVic. So there's an excellent chance we'll all be on the same bus!

Except, I have to admit, I have zero sense of direction. I once tried to drive to Town and Country from Royal Oak, and ended up in Esquimalt. But the three of us together will probably be able to work it out... right?

I'm going from UVic too - I checked the route, and the 26 does indeed seem to be the bus for us.

So, what time is everyone else catching the bus? I want to be on the same bus as people who know where they're going (or want to get lost with me)!

I think our only bus option will be the 5:22, which should give us plenty of time to find the place. See you at the bus stop tomorrow!

(And now I'd better get a move on and actually finish, so I'm not the only person at the TGIO party who lost!)

Just in case there's confusion... even if you didn't reply, you can still come to the party. i just wanted to get a sense of the number so I could reserve properly. But there's always chair/table stealing (we're pretty good at that).

If anyone wants to come, then come!
