Tod is organizing a gathering in Nanaimo, British Columbia for April 25-27, expecting around 2,000 people. Book hotels and transportation now through b.link/bookit, then submit a two-second video showing how many people are coming and where you're from using #invasionready.
About a week ago, I made a TikTok video asking Americans who support Canada to come up to my home city. I have an idea. What if we picked a day in like a month and a half or so where all of you come up here to Vancouver Island? 2,000 of them said that they would come. My friends, this is the announcement you've been waiting for. We have a date. That date is April 25th to 27th. I know some of you are coming from a big distance, So feel free to come a day early, stay a day late, or whatever. Also, if that date doesn't work for you, just come anytime, right? But there's some things you should know about. First, I've set up a page with information on how to book hotels and your transportation and all that kind of stuff. That page is at b.link/bookit, or you can tap my bio link. By the way, I don't make, there's no commissions, there's no affiliate things, I make $0 off this whole thing. And trust me when I say this is going to be big. There's going to be a literal circus with a big top there. There's going to be a big farmer's market for all of you. I would strongly recommend you book immediately. Hi, future Tod here. Um, after I edited that video, I talked to the tourism people. I want to just stress again how quickly this is filling up. There is a very good chance that we're going to sell out the city of campgrounds and hotel rooms and everything. I beg you, if you want to come, book it immediately. b.link/bookit. Also, if you cannot make it, if by the time you get to this, the city is full from this crazy idea, um, I'm already talking to the tourism people and the city about another date sometime in probably the summer. So, and I— if you're— as long as you're on on the email list, tap the link in my bio, wherever it is. Anyway, okay, back to past Todd. If you have questions about Nanaimo, Tourism Nanaimo says they will answer your questions. Here's their information down here. I have one thing to ask of you. Once you have made your booking, please record a very short video of yourself, 2 seconds long, saying how many people are coming and where you're from. 2 people from Seattle, 4 people from Dallas, that's all I need. And you can either email it via the web form, which is right here, it'll upload from your phone directly, or post it on Blue Sky and use the hashtag invasion ready. That weekend was the most popular weekend of the 3 choices we had. Also, by coincidence, that's going to be my 55th birthday, and I can't think of a cooler crowd to hang out with than all of you. And we'll see you in a little over a month.
