Hockey Day in Canada Furmeet - reminder
Hockey Day in Canada Furmeet!
Looks like this is a go so I'll post a bit more details:
Where is it?
At my place in downtown Hamilton, ON. RSVP with your e-mail for the exact address!
What is it?
Hockey day in canada is a day where all 6 Canadian teams are in action against eachother across canada. There's a big hubub about it on CBC along with a celebration in Stratford, ON (we won't be there, but it's broadcast on TV). Seeing as there are a lot of teams playing that day as well as all the canadian teams, it's a great time to get together and watch some hockey together.
When is it?
January 30, 2010. Everything will be starting at noon, and the first game is at 2:00, the last game starts at 10:00 and will probably go till around 1:00 AM. Feel free to show up when you want and leave when you want, crash space will be available to those who request it on a first come first serve basis.
HDIC Schedule is as follows:
2:00 Montreal @ Ottawa
7:00 Vancouver @ Toronto
10:00 Edmonton @ Calgary
Other games that day:
1:00 NY Islanders @ Philly
7:00 Chicago @ Carolina
7:00 LA @ Boston
8:00 NY Rangers @ Phoenix
8:00 Atlanta @ Nashville
8:00 Columbus @ St. Louis
10:30 Minnesota @ San Jose
The Canadian games will be aired on the main screen (in glorious HD on a 52" plasma) in the living room, other games will be available on a smaller screen on the side room if desired, or if there is no game on at the moment, we can switch the main screen to another game.
Other questions:
Where will we sleep?
I will have a few futons in the living room, one in my office, and several open empty rooms available for air mattress space. If you are not lucky enough to claim a futon when you RSVP, please try to bring an air mattress as I don't have more than maybe one to let people borrow.
What will we eat?
The menu for dinner will consist of Pizza, Wings, and Beer. I will be providing one 24 of beer (probably a mix pack of Rickards White and Rickards red), as well as a couple of large pizzas and some wings. As far as what is ON the pizza, I'll take reuqests at the actual furmeet itself. As for lunch time, I'll have snacks available such as Chips, Soda, Nacho chips etc. Once again, requests are encouraged.
If you feel you would want to drink some other beer or booze, feel free to bring your own, as I cannot provide to the needs or wants of everyone that will be coming!
What if I don't like hockey/don't like the games that are on?
Feel free to RSVP anyway, it will be a general furry meeting, although it is invite only so be sure to RSVP to get a spot (my house is only so big!) I'll also hopefully have some other stuff to do like an XBox available to play on, and movies to watch and such if people so desire.
Can I show up early/stay late?
So far I've had one person ask if they can show up friday night or stay till sunday later. The answer is yes, but I need advance notice. Also, I have hockey practice on sunday nights at 8:30, so about 6:30 is on sunday is as late as I can have people stay over, and I work till 6:00 that friday, so that's about as early as you can show up.
Feel free to ask additional questions! Official RSVP Post will be coming after New years!
