Saturday July, 23 2011 , the first ever (and hopefully not the last) Far West Coast mini-social was held in Maple Ridge, Canada with Marconius7 & the lovely Mrs. Marconius acting as our gracious hosts. It was a gorgeous Canadian evening complete with fine food, excellent beer, scintillating conversation & semi-competent Guitar Hero.
A grand time was had by all. Tinnie tried out for the BC Lions Cheerleading squad.
Fintan had a major Ginkgo Biloba moment.
Marco was caught planning world conquest in his underground lair.
And all 3 found new careers as newscasters for a famous website.

Looks like you all had a good time – I particularly like the benign Politburo style desk shot!
Definitely a fun party to be at! Did you do CDs?
TFD – Indeed , there was the customary exchange of cds.
Great to see you all – spillers make a bid for world domination!
Hello chaps! Great to see you all having fun together!
looks like a fun time was had by all!
Marconious’ house looks like a veritable playground! drums, guitar, guitar hero! a full on studio! and pom-poms! what more do you need?!
Always intrigued to see what you all look like, this was better than Steen’s snapshots post of last week, now I can put faces to posts.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Great to see Fintan as well!
Looks like fun was had! Was there any beer? You guys could be brothers.
Ah, good to see you all having fun. When’s our next London social? It’s been over a year!
Fintan, thanks for posting these. They are terrific pics. I missed Tin doing the cheer leader bit. Must have been turning hamburgers on the barbecue at the time! Although we only played one song with Rock Band, it was a hoot. Of course, it would have been far better if we could actually play an instrument like RockingMitch! But for rock star wannabes, it’s as good as it’ll get!
I should note that the full on studio is not at my house. On our way to bring Fin and Mrs. Fin back to their hotel, we dropped by the TV station where I work (Global BC) and I gave them the grand tour. The pom poms are my daughter’s. She really is a cheer leader for the BC Lions football team.
A good time was had by all.
