Too bad I didn't read this before. when is the next meetup ?

Greetings, Bitcoin community! Now that our Cooperative is hosting in excess of 4-5 events per month--plus another event that repeats on a weekly basis--we have decided it would be spammy and impractical to start a new thread for every single one. From now on, each new Meet Up event will be announced here, in a new post. We may announce the repeating event once a month, or so, but not every week, since its schedule is predictable, anyways. Now, without further ado, here are two events:


Bollywood Night will be an opportunity to watch a Bollywood movie for free, while dining on fine Indian cuisine all paid for in Bitcoin! (http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/133323022/) In fact, India Gate was the first Indian restaurant in the whole world to accept BTC! One interesting thing to note is that this is a joint event: two other, non-Bitcoin Meet Ups with whom we are affiliated will be attending. This means we have to be on our best behavior when it comes to selling bitcoins and paraphernalia (other Meet Ups don't like salesmen), but gives us the opportunity to mingle with non-Bitcoiners and spread the word in a friendly environment. This will occur Saturday, August 10 starting at 8 PM. Address: 616 Robson Street.


Next up, on Sunday, it's Bitcoin Yoga Sundays! (http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinvan/events/133882272/) As you might surmise, this occurs every Sunday. It starts at 9 AM, but you must be 10 minutes early. Class ends at 10 AM. It occurs on the grassy area in-between Kitsilano Pool and Kitsilano Yacht Club. The owners of Pacific Bliss are extremely passionate about Bitcoin--they were the first business in Western Canada to adopt--and you get 66% off if you pay with BTC! This event has an RSVP cap and requires pre-registration.


For up-to-date information on the Bitcoin movement in Vancouver, you can always check our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/bitcoincoop. A full list of merchants can be found on our website (http://vanbtc.ca/merchants), but much of the information is not up-to-do date, and it is still undergoing renovations. Our Facebook is newer, anyways, and businesses deciding whether or not to accept Bitcoin check its traffic levels to confirm that there is a customer base.

We've got a special treat coming up in the fall! In order to wean our pubs and bars off of fiat, we started using Canada's first Bitcoin winery as a distributor! Rollingdale Winery supplies Central Bistro with organic wines for BTC, allowing the bistro's owner to put your bitcoins to better use than automatic conversion. We're going to celebrate with a wine tasting; seating is limited, so RSVP in advance to get your discount: http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinCoop/events/192281872/

Something here really caught my eye. The indian restaurant accepting Bitcoin. You usually do not see that now a days for food joints. Really suprising to see.

I like your enthusiasm!
 I learned about Bitcoins first time thanks to people like you
