Frozen custard!!! Score !

6/3/2010 Karen "Karamel" R. says:

Are we really going to get some kind of confirmation message if we RSVP? And if so, when? Am kinda planning all around those dates and wanna ensure all goes as scheduled. ;)

(RSVP'd when only 20 people had signed up)

Anyhow... cheersies everyone! Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo t!

6/3/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

Good question Karen!

There will definitely be a confirmation email going out on June 16 and again on June 21. As of right now, everyone who is RSVP'd are DEFINITELY IN! Bonus points for having your real name and a picture of yourself on your profile. It's so much easier to make introductions that way ;)

6/3/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

Agreed!  Photos and real names would be great!

6/3/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

Postcard Printing??? We'll get postcards?

6/3/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

UPS made us some pretty cool postcards and posters so we could give them to our favourite businesses who are "hot on Yelp." I'll have some with me for office hours on Saturday too, if you wanna grab some to give out!

6/7/2010 Colene "good to the last drop" C. says:

frozen custard? FROZEN CUSTARD?  Man, I was in just at the word 'carnival', but frozen custard seals the deal for me :)

6/7/2010 Megan C. says:

I am a bit confused...the yelp carnival event in this page indicates the time is from 8-10pm but when i look at other reviews for a restaurant underneath the search engine for the upcoming event yelp carnival event says that it is from 7-10pm free with reservations so is the party actually from 7-10pm instead?

6/7/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

Hey Megan. Apologies for the confusion. From 7-8 the doors will be open for the Yelp Elite Squad who will be coming in early for a special VIP hour. If you'd like to find out more about the Elite Squad you can check it out here: http://www.yelp.ca/elite

General admission will be at 8.

Can't wait to meet you!

6/18/2010 Kassim "Famous among Dozens" D. says:

as usual, I have to ask - who is game for an afterparty for this event?  10pm-1am approx

6/19/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

Where would it be?

6/19/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

Looks like Revel Room and Pourhouse are nearby. If it's at any of those two venues, I'd be down for an after party.

6/19/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

I like the sounds of Revel Room or Guilt and Co. Has anyone gone to Guilt and Co yet?

6/19/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

ooh never been there... I'd love to check out someplace new.

See you all there !

6/22/2010 Kassim "Famous among Dozens" D. says:

OK - plans are set.  After-Party is at Revel Room.  They are open until 2am, have late-night eats and live music that night.  We have a reserved area for Thursday night - will most likely be upstairs.

6/22/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

Sweet! Thanks Kassim!

6/22/2010 Reena "Maple me up" M. says:

Yay-- Kassim, I think you are now the unofficial official afterparty planner.

6/22/2010 Evilyn "putting the edge back in vegetarian" T. says:

I think everyone should come down to Club 23 West for some Rock N Roll after the Carny-party and see yours truely spinning on the decks. NO COVER FOR YELPERS!!

My first Yelp event because it looks like it will be a ton of fun but couldn't find anyone to come with me so I am a little scared about that but it should be fun :)

6/22/2010 Crystal "Queen of the Canadian Yelp-i-dom" H. says:

I bet you by the end of the night, you'll have met, at the very least, lots of the folks on this thread :-)

@ Revel Room Afterparty crew :

Look for H - he makes the best drinks in town imo.

I'll be prepared with my fisheye.. if you see me and my camera, please come up to me! I want (and so does Yelp) to take your picture!
