Where was the option to register a guest? There was only the simple RSVP button...

My bf got his email saying him and his +1 were in. Does this mean he can bring a guest?

2/17/2012 Robin "Excessively Fabulous" M. says:

ALL cancelations and changes to +1s should be emailed to vancouver@yelp.ca. If you did NOT register a +1 when you RSVPd, then you DO NOT have a +1 for the event.

- Confirmations are made with an algorithm that is based on a number of factors. If you RSVPd early and did not get in, I'm very sorry! But keep checking your email -- spots open up all the time :)

- Those on the waitlist will be notified TODAY, Friday February 17. My fingers are crossed for you!

2/21/2012 Dani "Bobo" C. says:

So excited for tomorrow! Although, transit isn't going to be fun (hour and 15 and it's probably going to rain D: Anyone want to meet up at Burrard before taking the #2 or 22 to the Museum?). By the way Robin, is there a coat check-in?

2/21/2012 Robin "Excessively Fabulous" M. says:

Yep, Frogbox is doing coat check!

2/21/2012 Allison "five star" H. says:

Maybe I am just confused.... I RSVP'd the day the notification for this event came out... I thought that was that and the date has been kept in my calendar since Feb 5th?

I had NO idea that there was a lottery or a system to be "picked" to attend?

What am I missing here?

2/21/2012 Kat "with club sauce" S. says:

Yay, Frogbox!

@ Allison - All Yelp Community and Elite events are by RSVP, and require confirmation from Yelp.  There's a lot of people that want to go.  As Robin has mentioned above, there's an algorithm that is used to confirm.  If you didn't receive a confirmation then it seems that you didn't make it, which is unfortunate, but sometimes happens to us all.  If you can't get into the party this time, not to worry.  You have been reviewing steadily and have great reviews.  You'll make elite in no time.  

Check your junk mail just in case you missed something.  It's worth a look.  Email will be delivered from Yelp - Vancouver.

There's also UYE's (Unofficial Yelp Events) which any Yelp member can organize.  So keep an eye out for the next one and join us then.  I hear Larry is putting together a UYE for Chongqing style food.  http://www.yelp.ca/top...

2/21/2012 Allison "five star" H. says:

Thanks for the clarification Kat :) I think my excitement got the best of me!

If anyone needs me, I will be sitting in the shadows plotting my rise to Elite-dom

2/21/2012 Alicyn C. says:

@ Allison..  I shall try and hook you up as my +1.  Garth told me that you were really excited about going and well my +1 cannot make it. I shall get back to you shortly. :o)

2/21/2012 Jasmine T. says:

Sounds like this is going to be a great party... Thanks Robin!

*Should have warned us about the parking being paid-parking though. We thought it was the museum lot. Got a 40 dollar parking ticket. That puts a damper on the night. :(

Hey kids, you know I love you and you know I love organizing these parties, but let's all start calling me Robin with an 'I', yes? ;)
