Oh, ok. That is hard to tell from the words "So who all is going from here?"

Perhaps: "Who here is going that hasn't piped in yet?" would work better.

Wow, if you two are not good Buddies i'd like to be a fly on the Wall when you two met..

LOL no actually BC was right, I was wrong, so no worries. I look forward to meeting him and everyone else. There won't be any fisticuffs or evil eyes flying between us, at least not from me.

Although maybe we have stumbled on to something here. If they are looking for more attendees we could always line up a MMA style fight at the actual conference. We could call it "Rumble in the Rainforest: BCCryptid vs AlbertaSasquatch" :lol:

Vil, if you wanna go, I'm sure that we here on the BFF can pool eighty bucks together for you to go. That's eight bucks per person for a group of ten. Simple. :)

On a side note:

You don't need a passport to go to Canada if your state (like Washington) offers a enhanced driver's license. It's cheaper and the wait isn't as long. Of course it only works for driving to and from Canada and not for flying to Rio.

Come on guys, she will need money to eat, and buy a teeshirt. Is it a 1 day conference?

:) Aw, you guys! and gals! I think I could go to the banquet...t-shirt is probably not necessary. I wonder if they would reduce the price, just for the banquet? Oh, and right now gas is $1.25 a litre. Ouchy.

Why is BC always so expensive...gas wise ? I know you have that extra Carbon footprint gas tax.....but out here on the Prairies..it's around $ 1.14 @ liter...+/- depending on the day.

I thought about going, but flight cost, car rental, etc...all adds up.

Anyway I hope that those that go have a great time, sounds exciting...let us know what it was like. Have a great time.

But why is BC gas more expensive than Prairie gas ? Same oil companies. Different....?

Anyway have a great time at the conference, if you are going. I think if I lived in Vancouver, I might fill my car with expensive BC gas and drive out and join all those that will be there. :D

We keep getting different bs stores;

more competition back east means lower prices is the current one lately.

right now gas is $1.37 a litre in Vancouver

But I've generally noticed Winnipeg is known for being a tough town for high prices on anything to survive...many firms use Winnipeg as a test market for new products...the adage is...if it sells in the Peg...it'll sell anywhere :D

the first time we expanded into Winnipeg we ended up closing 2 out of 3 stores in 5 years.

We built a base then opened up more stores over a few years (back to 3 now)

It's not the easiest market to crack. Sounds like your company is doing ok in the 'Peg now.
