Chinese Lantern Festival

By Highlander. 16/02/11, 12:05 pm

So this is both Saturday and Sunday evening. Performances and food galore. And lanterns galore. Free, although the food costs.
5:30pm to 10:30. (You have to be there after dark to really see the lanterns.

I was wondering if someone was going to make a thread like this, if not I was planning on going anyway with friends. Razz

I probably can't go on Sunday but Saturday is good for me. I might be attending with a friend, if that's the case then I'll meet up with you guys there, I'll most likely be going on Saturday. nodnod

Bla why did it have to be this weekend!

I cant go Saturday, and then there is Social Sundays.

So at this stage my plan is to go AFTER SS so about 8.30-10.30 Sunday.

What weird hours. Doesn't even give you much time for sleep! Anyway good luck, and hope to see you there.

Edit: Maybe meet there 5:30pm before the Sunday night MAD thing and get food? Then go to the MAD thing and then the lantern festival afterwards? The important bits are the food, and the lanterns as it gets dark.

PS. Bring Tora.

I'd bet the lantern festival has been canceled or postponed.

It has.
I was going to work for it and we got sent an email yesterday saying it was cancelled.
