Hey Everyone,

This is the first of two shows that the Hip is putting on in June. I will coordinate a bar to meetup at before the concert once we get close to the date of the show.

Follow the link below and click on the June 13 show to buy tickets. If anyone can't find tickets email me. I'll help you locate some off of Craigslist.

If there is enough demand, I'll add a second meetup for the 14th as well. (Can't get too much Hip...)

Cheers,

Stew

Hi Everyone,

In celebration of May 24, we are going to have pre drinks and food at the great Poleng Lounge at 4pm. It is less than half a mile from where The Dears are performing at the Independent on the same night. Everyone is of course invited to join us for the concert at 7pm. For those who would rather just come by and have a drink and a bit to eat, it would be a lot of fun to see you. (Remember that you don't have to get up on the 25th - its Memorial Day...)

Feel free to shoot me an email with any questions.

Hi Everyone,

We have rescheduled the sailing trip for next Saturday the 21st from 2pm-5pm. We only need to have 10 people confirmed to make the sail happen. We Do need to confirm that we have 10 by the end of day tomorrow, Friday the 13th. So please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible.

The cost will be $35 per person. We will be leaving the dock at 2pm sharp, returning at 5pm.

If there is heavy rain on the day of the sail, it will be canceled.

Please bring $35 cash to the dock with you.

People can bring their own lunch or snacks. You are welcome to bring friends who are not in the group. Just RSVP for them as well.

Full details of the sailing organization is found here: http://www.callofthesea.org/home.php

This should be a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing you there!

The CAS houses an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum and 4-story rainforest all under one roof!!

Let's plan to meet in the lobby of the building in case its cold outside by then. Look for me to your immediate right inside the main doors.

Hello All,

This is the first of 2 surfing meetup's we are going to do. I run a surfing club called the Coastside Surfers and we are always trying to get more Canadians in the water. There are at least 5 Canadians in the Coastsiders so we want to expose more canadians to the pacific and the joy of surfing.

There is nothing quite like it.

********************* VERY IMPORTANT **********************
YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO SWIM!!!!
Dog paddling and treading water is fine, you do not need to be Michael Phelps
If you loose your board you need to know how to get back in.
Most of the water you will be in is only 4-5ft deep but the waves can make
that 4ft into 17ft very quick.
**********************************************************

If you do not have your own wetsuit, booties, and Board you can rent them from one of the 3 surf shops in Pacifica.

They are:
Nor Cal
http://www.yelp.com/biz/nor-cal-surf-shop-pacifica
(does not rent booties, but closest to beach)

The Log Shop
http://www.yelp.com/biz/log-shop-pacifica
(good shop, furthest from beach)

SonLife
http://www.yelp.com/biz/sonlight-surfshop-pacifica
(very good shop, rents ripcurl suits and expoy boards)

Wetsuit Rental is about $10-20 depending on the shop.
Boards range from $20-35 depending on the shop and the size and quality of board.
Booties which I believe are a must

If it is your first time you will want a 9' or longer board. Longer is better for learning.
I surf a 9'4" board so bigger can be better.

If you have any questions or would like to try surfing sooner, email me at luke@lukek.ca
