Flash 10 penetration is indeed very high, and amongst portal-game-players it's even higher than that. It's not a problem at all; all of my games were FP10 since the day it became available, and have had not a single problem.

Well, we saw Alec and Chrissy's beautiful family and friendly lake cabin. Good times! We're in the middle of Saskatchewan now, moving West. We'll be back in Victoria in about 2 weeks (July 15th is our goal), so if anyone is on the way let me know! Also, it just hit me: We have no showers lined up for the entirety of these two weeks.

Oh fuuuuuck! We still want you! Email Alec (we might be heading to the lake in a few days, which could be PERFECT TIMING FOR A VISIT)
oh man a lake would be so welcome right now. No A/C in the van and we're driving into the sweltering heat of the prairies... We're probably going to be rolling into town tomorrow (Tuesday) night and staying with another friend of mine, but I'll definitely hit up alec and see what we can organize!

They actually closed down the big highway's onramps downtown, so we drove straight through the middle of town on a nearly empty highway. Didn't see any crowds, protesters, or burning cars so it was a successful trip! Just finishing up here in Iowa with the intuitiongames dudes  Heading back up to winnepeg now! be there in a few days!

Awesome time in downtown Ottawa last night, guys. Bit hung over this morning, but it's all good.  Any Torontites out there? Will probably be there in 2 days or so.

Nice you're almost back around Ottawa. I'll who is available around the time you'll be here, should be able to get a decent crew together for your arrival!  Woot! I am rolling into Ottawa tomorrow morning, so I'm right on schedule. Let me know if anything is up! (sorry about running through Quebec like that. I was delayed by a conference and I needed to make up time somewhere!)

what why did montreal happen instantly
Instantly? It got the standard 24 hr notice! I usually decide where to go when I get behind the Wheel each day. Preplanning sucks! I'd hate to promise to be somewhere then have to drive by a bigass waterfall or amusement park or something...

I don't know why, but after meeting a half dozen Montreal Indies last night, going to two pubs, and getting some "Le poutine de classique et origionale", I'm not feeling the best this morning. Trying to overcome the urge to sleep all day (in the van) and actually get something done. This calls for drastic measures.. this calls for: coffee.  Really awesome meeting all you guys, Montreal definitely WAY BETTER than EDMONTON so far! *shakes fists* Even though none of you could tell me how to translate "Boners" into french. Phil Fish and I are trying to organize our schedules and get together for lunch, then it's off to Quebec City! Anyone out there? We might make it there today but maybe not. I might not get a chance to read the forum before then so as usual, if you exist, [email protected] or PM me here.

I'm in Sudbury now, trying to organize a trip to Manatoulin island, and will be heading to the bigger cities down there soon. Maybe in Toronto as soon as Wednesday? I'll update as things get a clearer picture.
The Van is getting some repairs!

We had two local sampler packs (Fort Garry and Half Pint), one of which included an IPA, yes.  Super awesome thanks to Alec and Nava for their hospitality and showing us the "seedy side" of town. Also, golden boy! wooooo. I like how he's "running towards prosperity" (north). We're leaving Winnipeg tomorrow, and heading out through the northeast highway out of Manitoba (not the #1 but the other one just north of it). We miiight just hit Thunder Bay tomorrow if we're lucky! You Ontarians better PREPARE. The waves of my arrival might flood Ottowa. Also: Manitoba is #1 suckiest province ever when it comes to tourism. Everything is closed for the season/day/time we arrive, and half the "attractions" have shiny new highway signs but have been actually visited so infrequently that the info signs are sunbleached pure white and the attractions themselves are so overgrown with bush you can't actually see them. Also, I've been seeing a lot of wildlife on this trip, for the first time. I saw my first mountain goats in the rockies, the first bison in Alberta, my first Elk in Saskatchewan, and for the first time ever, I've seen ticks in Manitoba. Thanks, Manitoba. I'll never forget the veritable herd of a half-dozen ticks marching up my bare, shorts-wearing leg, towards my nether regions.

Thanks for the offer nava! We will probably take you up on that on Sunday. We should get in touch via email. But yes, we are taking just about every detour there is.... and avoiding all major highways. Google maps says the whole country can be done in two days.. but that's not very fun, and we have nearly 3 months.
