VIBC 2008...hands down!

they had a casino theme going on and everyone came in dressed in black/white. In fact, it was great for the teams that arrived early because they gave us chips to use at the poker, blackjack, and roulette tables they had set up...and since alcohol wasn't an option, they had a table set up for mocktails with each drink named after a bhangra style (jhummar, dhamaal, sammi, etc...). On top of that, they invited a toddler team to perform for us (which our team then invited to our own table to talk about favorite video games and such) and they were great motivation for the rest of us. Then, they incorporated their casino theme with figuring out the lineup by having each team captain play blackjack...so first place in blackjack got first preference, second got second preference, etc. THEN they surprised us by bringing in Malkit uncle and allowing each team to meet with him privately. Last, they brought in dholis for the dancefloor, making it even better...people ended the night with boli sessions. Another plus point was that the mixer location was near to the team hotel and those teams who needed to leave, didn't have to waste time finding cabs (or chartered school buses) and drive across the city...and our liaison was with us the whole time making sure we got back to the hotel safely and answering all of questions...

Overall, Vancouver and its people really showed us a good time

Best. mixer. ever. I've never had nearly as much fun at a competition mixer as I did at VIBC!

I really like when mixers have a DJ and some sort of dance floor. It's the only time out of a competition weekend when just the teams can get together and dance/have boli sessions (other than hotel hallways and parking lots).

I was a team liaison then for another team and I remember playing blackjack with members of your team and one of your teammates (don't remember who it was) kept on calling me Ruby when my name is Romy, and since I was having so much fun, I didn't correct that person haha. I'm glad you had lots of fun then .

Boston was fun, more so because of the intoxicated state I was in. I was doing fucking front handsprings during the freestyle dancing.
