La Fontana Caffe (map)

Selected By: Val

**Sadly, due to overwhelming response, I have closed this event to further RSVPs**

This is it.
The end.
The last episode of Battlestar Galactica.
We will find all the clues and get all the answers.
It will be two solid hours of our favourite show.
Natasha Eloi from Space will be our special guest.

It's bound to be one frakkin' good finish.

**Please note, this episode starts airing at 6pm, one hour earlier than the other episodes.**

    As many of you already know, Space Channel is considering sending out one of their on-air personalities to join us for the finale, and include us in their live broadcast afterwards. If ever there was a time for 13th Colonists to stand up and be counted...this is it! Let's show the rest of Canada what an incredible group of BSG fans there is in Vancouver.

    Bring a picture of yourself to add to our version of Galactica's "Memorial Hallway." Also, please bring a travel mug if you have one, since that will help the dishwashing situation a great deal. With lid, to reduce chance of spillage with all those people crammed in and jostling elbows.

    In case anyone is watching the numbers and worrying we won't make 100 people....don't worry! With our Facebook group, and the other friends who have called or emailed, we will be well over 100. I have just been way too busy to get an accurate count...and at this point the number doesn't matter anymore. It's just about having a great time! But thanks for the enthusiasm in signing up people. I know Space is thrilled with the response!

    Look for an interview with yours truly in The Province's Entertainment section this Friday. They are doing a special BSG finale section.

    I hope Space found Vancouver a little more "lively" :-) ... and Natasha was a fun personality - glad she came.

    Thank you to everyone for your patience and co-operation. I can tell you Space absolutely loved what we put together, and though I haven't seen the show yet, I've heard we were definitely the highlight. Speaking of which, a bunch of it will be on "The Circuit" this week. I'll post the times. Wanna bet our "Hybrid" is prominently featured? Thanks Seth. Everyone, honestly, you rock!

    It was exciting and there were a lot of surprises. Even with more than twice the usual crowd it made for a good Friday night and I wouldn't of missed it. Thanks to Valorie for introducing me to the show and John for supplying the seating and refreshments.

    Probably the greatest and the biggest sci fi party i have ever been to. I was a bit tired upon arrival, but the energy just spiked up like .........the old man was really there giving a speech. I hope a party like this will happen again.

    The wonderfully BSG-themed food was served quickly and tasted great, the crowd was super fun, and the costumes and decor were amazing. I'm so glad we got to watch Dollhouse and ourselves on TV after the episode and filming. Natasha was super cool. I'm glad we had the event at good ol' La Fontana.
