Okay, so there have been a lot of “roll call” type posts, and references to people saying that they will be there - either to race or watch. Let’s set up an official ST meeting.
Off the top of my head, I have:
jonnyo
miranda
paulo
jaylew
RA in BC
AndyPants
YVR K
Fleck
I could have sworn Audentia and Torito are coming…
solymosi is local, so he’d better damn well show…
Who else am I missing, and where/when do we want to meet? Last year we all hooked up at Fibonacci on Saturday afternoon…
yeah, ok, so where’s the race day gathering place? I’ll be arriving mid-day(ish) on Sunday for the purpose of registering on Monday and expect I’ll be in the mood for a tasty brew or seven.
I’ll try to make it. I arrive Thursday afternoon, so Sat. would work. Depends on my wife/daughter though.
There’s a pretty good size list of STers here: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=1436091;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;
I’m game to put some faces to handles. Name the time and place!
Khai,
I am flying in tommorow and straying at the Sandman . . . “Oh mister Sandman sing me a tune . . .” Anyway, schedule is pretty packed between Shaw Cable and Ironmanlive production stuff, Nineteen stuff and wedging in a ride with some old friends, I should be very busy, but would like to meet-n-greet if there is something organized. Post here and I will see what I can do.
I’m arriving on Wednesday afternoon / evening, and renting a house with friends about 10 minutes south of town. The house has internet, so I’ll watch for a final time and place to be announced.
Chris,
You have a famous hockey last name, you and any other hockey fans headed to Penticton for IM may want to check this out:

Sounds like a fun evening with all proceeds going to a great cause.

Steve,
I grew up in and around New York City in the 60s and 70s, back when the Rangers and the Islanders were good, as I recall. I can’t tell you how many times I was asked for tickets or autographs. Not that I had any to give, since so far as I know I’m not related to Phil and Tony. Having a good Italian last name like that in NYC cuts both ways though, as several prominent members of the Mafia (now in jail or dead, I think) were also named Esposito. No relation to them either.

Paulo tells me that Saturday afternoon isn’t very good for people who will be racing - apparently real athletes need to rest or something…
In light of that, I’m going to let jonnyo call the place and time. He’s got the most on the line here.
What sayest thou, Mr O?
I’ll be there late afternoon Thursday and am up for an ST get together!
**apparently ***real athletes need to rest or something… *

What could be more relaxing and restful than hanging out with the ST crowd talking tubulars and tire pressure 
.
Hey Khai,
Andrea and I will be there!
See you soon!

i will have to let you or someone else decided of the time and place… i will stay away from all the action this week as much as i can…i was already ask to do more than i m use to…

I figured as much… No worries, bro - if I don’t see you before the gun goes off, you should see me all over the course.
When’s the pro panel?
I’d like to meet some people too…I’m just a lurker on here most of the time but it’s always good to meet other tri-crazies…I’m actually sitting outside at the Park Royal RV park just about one mile from the start line…I’m here all week and will be swimming in the morning and riding and running on Wednesday…nothing crazy just spinning and easy jogging if anyone is interested??
Brad

khai… i know you have some questions to ask…!!! i m sure you dont have the guts to ask a very dumb one in front of everyone!!!
Hey Khai…

khai… i know you have some questions to ask…!!! i m sure you dont have the guts to ask a very dumb one in front of everyone!!!
Aw man… Friday morning? I’ll be putting in a 1/2 day on Friday and then cutting out early to head up as close to noon as possible.
I’ll have to send in my dumb questions by proxy.
Definitely, race day it will be boozy drinks along lakeshore or… ??? 
As for Sat, any folks free late afternoon, it would be cool to link up - so I can see some new (and old) faces prior to race day. Plus the BF can get a feel for why triathletes are crazy.

For heavens sake will someone make a decision and tell us where and when to meet.I'm two days into my ten day IMC/UMC celebration binge and am in need of direction.
