    Excellent idea, Steve. Joyce and I wish we could be there so that would be the next best thing.

    I do hear that you and Mike are geeking out about this video thing, Stevie Baby! I look forward to seeing this (but of course, I'll be partying here, so won't have time to watch it until later).

    Be well,

    P.S. The best way to "poke a curmudgeon" is to call him "Stevie Baby"

    Hm, I wonder ....if I call him "Stevie Baby" will I get more of the "honey-do" list finished? Or, more likely, I will return home from one of my trips, to find the locks to the doors changed....

    Unfortunately, I will be working undercover on a secret mission at the time and will be unable to attend. But it definitely sounds like a grand gathering of the rabble.

    Splash 4 and I are working out how to do a live streaming video presentation.

    If we can get it working we will post a global announcement with the website address where the video can be watched.
    My team and I will monitor these proceedings.

    Boy, I really wish I could come to this. I actually will stay up with a beer and a dram to watch.

    I'm likely going pretty casual for the evening.

    Raphael and I are taking the 11 am ferry over. Would anyone like to have meet up before the hotel/restaurant/hotel party? Not to be unappreciative of all the planning that has gone into this, but it sounds like besides the hotel, which will have 35 people in it, there looks to be little time for being social out on the town. At a sit down dinner deal it's always hard to speak to anyone who isn't seated to either side of you on in front of you at a restaurant. If anyone wants to meet up for a pint before hand send me a PM and I'll give you my cell number.

    I would like to propose that we change one of the hotel visits either before (preferably) or after the restaurant to a local pub, Spinnakers brew pub perhaps, I think we are on route to a fun night, but 35 people in a hotel room (suite) for a couple hours is a bit claustrophobic isn't it?

    Pleats are meant to be swung freely not sat on all night. See you guys Friday.

    Colin mentioned Irish Time pub a few times and I really think we should go for a pint or two after dinner. It is a nice walk from the restaurant. If you have not been to Victoria before, the night time view is awesome. So bring your camera with you. We probably will be snapping a few pictures on route there.

    There is traditional Irish music being played there as well.
