    Yay! Excited!!
    Haven't thought about what to wear...are we dressing up for this? SHOULD we dress up for this??
    I'm always looking for more occasions to wear nicer clothes :)

    10/20/2009 Kat "don't get me started!" F. says:

    You can totally dress up but it's not necessary! The atmosphere is casual. Also, we have to decide where we're gonna crawl afterwards...Souz Dal?? $5 margaritas?

    @Kat....one more thing....do I need to lug a camera along or is Neil the resident photog extraordinaire taking the happy snappies?

    10/20/2009 Kat "don't get me started!" F. says:

    @Christine: Jeff will be taking photos as usual, and I don't think Neil is joining us till later because he has sports. So if you want to bring your camera you can, but you don't have to! And no food at Souz Dal but you can bring food in.

    @Kat ... #5 is wrong.
    The highest grossing Canadian film is: "Bon Cop Bad Cop"

    See this: http://www.ctv.ca/serv...

    Great to see everyone last night.

    According to my Thesaurus, the opposite of "Elite" is "Dregs"

  34. 10/21/2009 Carolyn B. says:

    GREAT questions!  

    (@Matthew ~ Interesting!!  Bon Cop Bad Cop is a really good movie!)

    Hey

    You got me on the wine question.. what people may not know is that there are a few vineyards in the Maritimes and in Quebec and BC... so to have 85% here is impressive.

    Did you also know that there are only two states that don't produce wine... Alaska and Hawaii.

  36. Photo of Kat F.
    10/21/2009 Kat "don't get me started!" F. says:

    I had no idea about Alaska and Hawaii! BTW I just busted out the 85% stat in a meeting an hour ago...nice.
