Alright folks, I'd like to hammer out some details for this meet. I know a bunch have mentioned to me privately that they are interested in showing, but could the others interested in coming please post and let us know, so we can make some decisions. Also, like I said, ANY suggestions for locations would be great too.

 

[Noid]

I should be able to make it for the 16th. As to where -- does it make sense to get some idea where Sig_Des is billeted, and use that as a starting point?

 

[Pea]

He's staying in Nisku (if he makes it back there before his flight!... ) so I think we are good to go with pretty much anywhere.

 

[Noid]

'k. How 'bout the Windsor, 87th Ave and 117th Street (just west of the Butterdome)?  20-25 minutes from the airport, excellent pizza, lots of different beers on tap, not too busy on Friday nights, and quiet enough that you can hear the person across the table from you without them screaming.

Unfortunately, although a bunch of PPCLI types will be in town that weekend for our Col-in-Chief succession events, the night of the 16th conflicts with our officer's mixed dining-in.  Enjoy your relaxing beers while the likes of PPCLIGuy and myself chafe in our mess dress....

Exactly,
but to stay here in Cowtown in comfortable clothes or put on the tux. Interestingly, 250 "hob nobers" had first crack at invites. The 17th is also B-Day and both the assoc. here in town and the CAV unit have decided to forgo a trip north and celebrate in comfort.

[Lance Wiebe]

I'm going to be in town next week.  Can I come and play too?

I don't know Edmonton all that well, so I will need some pretty good directions to whatever spot is picked.

 

[Pea]

Alright Folks, here's the plan:

16 March - approx 2000 hrs. Boston Pizza Lounge - Corner of 97 Street & 137th Ave (Brand new location)

So far, about 9 people have expressed interest to me in making an appearance. If you need directions or just want a contact number, feel free to send me a PM. I know a few of us plan to move on after BP to a bar for further entertainment, and anyone is welcome to join in on that fun as well. (that location to TBD that night by the crowd)

Hope to see a good turnout!

 

[Lance Wiebe]

I can make it, no problem.  It's the carrying on that might be tough, my hotel is downtown, just off Jasper.  A taxi might be expensive.....

 

[Pea]

I live downtown and will be going that way to drop off my car (after the shindig at BP) before heading to the bar. So if you need a ride back after Boston Pizza I am sure I can help ya out.

 

[darmil]

Too bad I have to work that night, I'd like to meet you guys.Wish it was on St Patties day,I have to go to this col in chief shin dig on Saturday as many other troops are.Does anybody want to get together Saturday? ,for a Guinness ;D

 

[SoF]

Why couldn't you guys have a meet and greet when I was in Ed last December   The 16th is the date I'm flying to BC  waiting to be loaded onto my 3s. First opportunity I get though I'm flying to Ed for a quick visit.

Plus we can gossip about OHS'ers! I'll be driving about 2 and half hours that afternoon to get to Edmonton, anyway!
