We have a bunch of cards for the old Blenz venue that allow you to get two of any item for the price of one. Wayne is gone, and that Blenz has a new owner, and this owner has not yet been enlightened about Bitcoin. I will be giving away stacks of these cards at CoinFest for free, under the condition that you talk about Bitcoin when you go use them. I will be giving these cards away regularly until Blenz takes Bitcoin, again. 



In other news, the Amazing Race is ready! Teams register and are told the rules around the starting time of CoinFest, and the race begins officially around 1 PM. Remember--no cars allowed! Public transit, only. All players must use Bitcoin for challenges that cost money (a dollar or two at most) to complete. Violators will be disqualified. Here is an updated list of the participating Bitcoin venues and their challenges:

India Gate - eat one 10X extra spicy samosa

Central Bistro - drink one shot

Old Ginger - each teammate eats 1 spicy springroll

Bitcoiniacs Bitcoin Store - receive a paper wallet containing a small amount of BTC

FreeGeek - go to the FreeGeek headquarters in Vancouver and correctly answer 5 questions given to your team by one of the Geeks

Participating venues might give you a token upon completion of their challenge; otherwise, I will confirm your completion via text message from a staff member.

The first team to complete all of the challenges will receive a prize consisting of FREE BITCOINS! Maybe $50 or $100 worth? Adam Soltys will be manning the CoinFest Physical Faucet, this time, so it depends on how generous he is feeling that day. I will try to butter him up with drinks, or something.



Lastly, we are proud to announce that representatives from Sensible BC and/or the Canadian Libertarian Party may be in attendance. The musicians are also back: an electric guitar performance will be provided by the infamous Chef.

This shitty website won't let me PM you because I don't have enough posts. My accumulated balance appears to have spontaneously reset for no reason at all. I don't see a way for me to check my addresses logs on the site, so I can't verify. Maybe you should add a "check address" section...
