i know it's a little last notice, but i got a bit of an idea if anyone's up for listening! so i'm arriving earlier than i anticipated[i was originally was planning on arriving morning of day 1 and made my hotel reservation accordingly]. as a result, i got a separate reservation for a hotel on friday that happens to be out by the mall. upon doing some digging, i learned it happens to have an arcade in it! so what i have in mind is some time after pre-reg pickup/check-in, those interested can have some fun playing some games and socializing or what-have-you! i know it's probably no gameworks[i admit, i've been spoiled after going to sakura-con for so many years], but it's at least something and i wouldn't mind wasting away $10-$20 to support the local scene. a dinner meet-up after the arcade is over could be arranged, but i know that could be iffy because of many of the other people that could be there may have a long drive back to downtown vancouver for most of those that have their reservations there. anyway, let me know what you think!
