Hi, Arriving Monday. I will need a few days to get over jet lag and pick up my rental car. If anyone wants a game let me know. Will post local mobile once I get it. Until then, email might be best if trying to reach me. fred_gower@yahoo.ca Way out of practice on Tornado so just a fun game is cool for me. Not looking for a tourny or anything. Cheers, Fred PS I tried talking a little trash last time to get some responses and that went over like a lead balloon so will try low key approach this time. |

Hey Fred, I'll try to make it down at least one night while you're here. Probably weekends are best for me, but we'll see how it goes. I'll keep an eye on this thread & see you soon! Earl |

|
Earl, Thanks for reply. First weekend likely hanging with the in laws. Second weekend Sunday is Feb 17th. That should work. Weekday nights might also work for just some casual foos... Fred PS Robbie, we tried but could not book our time share at Whistler so hoping you can come down to Van if you have the time. |

|
Hey Fred how hows things!!!! I think at least 4 of us are going to Portland Feb 9th-10th-11th Nelson Jeff and me, and maybe Paul I hope i get to catch up with you after that unless you want to come down with us (-; |

|

| ||
|

| ||
|
Fred, I will be back in Van on Feb 16. I will go to SOHO if the Feb 17th sunday is firm. Dennis |
| ||
|
Will try on Wed but jet lag is a bad bad thing. 17th for sure. Fredrock BYP Roto Dubs. Top team get Shanghai Foosball t shirts. Any size and color you want so long as it is black XL! Ha ha... They look great. I stole I mean borrowed the logo, font and slogan. Chinese copyright - to copy is right. Local number is 604 773 9491. Cheers, Fred |
| ||
|
Tonight: will give it a try. Dinner before is cool. Oysters across the street before. What time Johnny? Will try to stick out foos until my brain goes numb from jet lag. Didn't make it past 9 pm last night but will try harder tonight at Soho... |
| ||
|
Sounds good, logistics is 3 hour parking at the meters. So was thinking meet 7 P.M. at Soho and walk to Rodneys'. But since Jet Lag is running the show, perhaps a 6:15 P.M. meet time at Soho and walk to Rodneys'. Then just top up parking meter as needed? |
| ||
|
7 is good. Will try to nap before then. |
| ||
|
Roger that ... see you then. |
| ||
|
Great Oysters, Microbrewery and Foosball last night. Thanks Johnny and everyone that showed up. So where to watch the Canucks tonight? Freddy |
| ||
|
Johnny, please call when u have a few mins. Thx |
| ||
|
Oops, just getting this now ... very sick with a cold. Won't be out tonight for sure  .Will post when feeling better, have a great Celebration !!! |
| ||
|
Johnny, Get better. Maybe next Wednesday if Sharon doesn't have a social thing for us to do. Practicing at Tuan's tonight in case anyone interested. It gets pretty boring losing to him every game in singles. Ha ha... Fred |
| ||
|
Johnny, feeling better yet? In for some foosin' tomorrow (Wednesday) night? I was hoping for some help in learning your chip series from the 2 bar... Jeff, you in? How was Moneyball? Robert, Nelson, any of the Mike's? Phil? U guys coming? Tuano will probably come if enough others show up. Dennis should be in town soon and should be out for this Sunday's event. Shanghai Foosball t shirts to winning team. BYP Roto Dubs. Shinhacker hopes to be there... Timbo? Harvey? Dave? You guys coming out any of these nights? Fred |
| ||
|
Yeah, I'll be down tomorrow ... feeling much better thanks Freddy. As for chip series you can't beat this guys ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pH-XHR9uQs |
| ||
|
Yea I can show. Robert said he's gonna try and make it if people post as well. |
| ||
|
Cool, any Moneyball results up yet? |
| ||
|
I usually don't make it in on Wednesdays as I have other commitments. I'll make it Sunday though. |
| ||
|
Not sure if MB results are on the nw board yet, but, I don't think so. We got 5th in Moneyball, which was pretty shitty, but 3rd in Open Dubs which was okay. Ryan swept every event. |
| ||
|
Results have been up for a while I think ... http://www.nwfoosball.com/nwfoosball/Foos12X10.aspx Click on Regional Results . |
| ||
|
Jerry said he is coming. Mitch said he would too. Me and Tuano. Jeff and Johnny. Maybe Robert. Could be a decent turnout... |
| ||
|
I should be down around 8'ish ... unless peeps are gonna show earlier ? |
| ||
|
What time peeps going? I am thimimg 8,.. |
| ||
|
I'll be there Sunday for sure. I may even show up later tonight. We'll see. Earl |

| ||
|
Canucks game starts at 6. Hoping on the tube. So, will head down soon to practice and cheer them on. Who is coming and when? |
| ||
|
I'm coming along with Robert but maybe not until 7:30 or 8:00 |
| ||
|
I should be there after the first period ... so around 6:30'ish   |
| ||
|
I'll be there just before 8pm. |
| ||
|
Super fun night. We did a combination BYP/DYP Roto Dubs event. Thanks to my partners Tuan and Nelson. And thanks to all that showed. It would be great to hear that Vancouver foos gets events going again. Congrats to winners Craig and Robbie and runners up Tuan and Earl. Enjoy the shirts... I will be out Tuesday night at Soho to practice in case anyone wants a game. But won't be late as I fly out Wednesday morning... Xie Xie (Thanks) Fred |

I didn't get any group photos last night (perhaps someone else did), but here are a couple pics of Robbie sporting a special jacket. Please check them out (and read the captions). Earl http://www.flickr.com/photos/44473786@N02/8487726136/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/44473786@N02/8487724062/ |

I'll prob be down at some point, my arms are still destroyed from moving the table tho. Nelson/Robert - complettttttttttlyyyyy destroyed. I blame you for all my losses. |
| ||
|
Good to see you Fred! I still don't understand why your arms hurt and mine don't. Btw I cleaned your table yesterday and WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CLEANED IT HOLY. It played completely different after I cleaned all the bearings and rods. |
| ||
|
Watching game now. Trying to convince Tuan to come down but he will probably just want to play at his place and I suck at singles Jeff... So, not sire if I will make it down after all. Thanks all that made it out. Not sure when back. Keep on foosin' Fred |
| ||
|
I've cleaned the surface a few times. Arms are still destroyed, it's like I arm curled a motorcycle, or a 375 pound foosball table. |
| ||
|
Feels like a Slow foosball night tonight. |
| ||
|
Hmmm, turns out it wasn't a slow foosball night. |
| ||
|
Darn I should have gone down then |
| ||
|
But then it would have been a slow foos night  . |
