skykilo Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Nobody else in Vancouver wants to go to this show? What if he does a show here? Anyone in BC interested in this presentation if we can get Dr. Luks to do one in Vancouver?
iluka Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 For those who can't make this date at the Mountaineers, the lecture is being given again at the Seattle REI on Thursday February 12 at 7:00PM. It is also free to the public.
AlpineK Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 The Mounties are now close to my place. I have no reason not to go.
