Sounds good Laura:)

Hi James, back to Vancouver's recently after away for 6 months. Noticed that there’s a lot more on-line events. May be it’s summer season. Glad to see that the cinema/film get together is on. Would love to join. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
James
Hi there Richard, Peter, Beth and maybe Laura! I'm looking forward to meeting up with you and seeing this important film. We'll meet at 3:45 in the theatre foyer, unless VIFF has ticket-holder wait lines in place inside or outside - in which case I'll leave a message here. Please be aware that the event is also posted on the Vancouver Art & Music Meetup group and a small handful of art enthusiasts from that group will be joining us. See you Saturday!

Nice to meet you all - I'm sorry I had to miss the chat after, but I look forward to next time :).
James
Great meeting you Beth! (and Amelia and Richard from the other group). And great seeing you again Peter and Richard! I really enjoyed the evening with you all!
Richard
Thanks again, James.Interesting movie and good company.
Laura
Thanks for the invite, James! I'd need to leave at 6:30 to head to a play on Commercial Drive. If I decide to try to do both, I'll sign up and grab a ticket.
