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?

@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"

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.
