Did the Nanaimo CNY Gala today. Way overpriced. Too many people. Advertised as festival seating. We were there really early but it wasn't festival seating at all. Arg. We were around the middle but still too far back for Kai to see. We were scared of the buffet line but ended up budging in with Mary on her table and it turned out ok. Likely annoyed some people but Kai had sat at a table with cutlery for over two hours without food and he was getting pretty grumpy. Luk was asking when dinner was. Luk never asks for food. The food was good but it was our first buffet that was portion controlled. Weird. There were a crazy number of acts. Lots of kids, read untalented. Overall fun is a mindset. We did ok there. Kids got stuffed roosters so that made it all ok for them.
