Vancouver Startup Scene, as a suburban family man ⇒

A few months back I started to get more involved in Vancouver's start-up/tech scene. I met with the key players (Mack, Boris, Parveen, Campbell, etc) and signed up for the relevant Meetups so I'd get all the invites. I even went to several of the events, which of course were great and I was excited to learn more and contribute. Then in January I decided that improving my fitness was important to me so I joined CrossFit and now do that 3 times a week and I'm loving it! My problem is that I have to come home on Mondays, as my wife teaches a class. Wednesdays and Fridays are CrossFit, so they already take away from my family time (due to my long commute). Finally, I work from home on Thursdays, so it makes it hard to come into town for one of the frequent events. That doesn't leave much time for me to contribute to the great startup scene in Vancouver, which makes me sad as the community is so much fun and I would learn a ton. I will get involved when I can, but at the moment I am unwilling to make the sacrifices needed to be a meaningful contributor. Any suggestions?
