So, are we going have a secret handshake or something to figure out who everyone is at Opus? Or do we flash our eGullet decoder rings so everyone can see us?

I won't be there. I will be back at the restaurant getting evverything ready for your arrival. I think that you all will be able to tell each other by the knowing smile and the fact that you know you are going to have a big dinner so you won't be rushing the canape tray. Or how about pinning a small sausage to your lapel. If that does not make you stand out !

How do you know about the ring?

Ok, someone is going to need to help out on this one, I'm laughing too hard :biggrin::biggrin:

I will be wearing chef whites with a drip of sauce from the short ribs down the front.

How about " casual comfortable ".

The Hamilton Street Grill has a " no tiara " policy that is strictly enforced.

No one wearing a sweater over their shoulders, looking like they just stepped out of a Ralph Lauren Frat boy photo shoot will be admitted either. You know who you are. :raz:

Or at least try not to match the wood panelling at HSG!

I believe I will go with the classic black dress and pearls. Hard to pull off on a big man though.

I hope everyone comes casual. I suspect there will be black leather blazers in the crowd as an hommage to Mr B.

Ok, I'll return the tux, but I'm still wearin' the spatz, top hat and monacle, I figure I'll still fit in, what with Coop wearing the black dress and pearls.

Hope you remember to shave your legs.

...and back!

...and, if you're not going all out and shaving your armpits, at least braid them.

Glad the "dress" for the night has been cleared up. Sounds like a lot of queens are coming without their tiaras and all manscaping will be done. Only 3 more sleeps to go.

What to wear, what to wear....

I talked with Neil tonight and I think this may help everyone decide on the proper attire for the evening, god knows I do not want anyone else to show up in a double flap, chef wear, cotton button ensemble, like I will be wearing!!! It is soooo embarrassing when that happens!

I hope this helps...

Most of the participants will and should be attired casual...

Some will be coming from work and will be business casual...

tn_gallery_8861_319_1099462285.jpg

I have heard through the grapevine that at least one or two will choose more formal attire...

tn_gallery_8861_319_1099462337.jpg

My hope is our mascot will attend...

tn_gallery_8861_319_1099462364.jpg

Coop will be in attendance (I apologize in advance; please do not kick my ass!)...

Jamie has always been a trend setter (far left)...

And honestly, it does not matter what you wear....all that matter is that 'Big Brother aka Fat-Guy' has given you your eGullet decoder ring...

Hope this helps...cannot wait to taste the food, sample the libations, support the charity and meet all the Vancouver eGulleters!

There's nothing better than a party where an angry drag queen shows up drunk looking for some retribution.

Unfortunatley, Coop is neither a drag queen nor an angry drunk. I've got suspicions about some other attendees however...fingers crossed.

Sounds like you have some experience there Keith. Anything you'd like to share?
