Hey

I propose a drinking fest celebrating the awesomeness of our city and all that is going on. :cool:

I know a number of us who are out of town most of the year will be back (I come back tomorrow).

Let's get shitfaced, and talk like the nerds we are about 'density' and 'spandrel' or even 'faux-historic' facades.

Who is in? when and where?

:cheers:

[CMD UW]

/\ Best title....hahahaha...

Have fun gents and gals (if applicable).

[Wooster]

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

yeah right. so sad isn't it?

[mersar]

I'm in.

Isn't there 1 female board member from Calgary? I thought there was the one.

[chenmau]

I believe poopysheep is a "she".

[SHOFEAR]

Lets see which meet can ring up the biggest bar tab. Edmonton vs Calgary baby!!

[feepa]

I'm almost tempted to go to Calgary just for the name of this thread

[Boris2k7]

I'm in, as long as it doesn't conflict with my exam schedule.

2 Down, 3 to Go

Exams tomorrow, monday, tuesday, and a final project due next Friday.
As well, I will be up in Edmonton from next Friday to the following Sunday.

[Bigtime]

I'm in, pretty much open anytime after this weekend asides from the official Christmas days. Heck I can bring a girl too, the ratio ticks up by one!

[CorporateWhore]

i get home this sunday, so anytime after that, but before the 7th of January, is good for me.

[Coldrsx]

Calgary copying Edmonton's lead once again.....

kidding, have fun gents....and i still think we need to do an SSP ALBERTA MEGA MEET sometime somewhere.

BORIS - if you are up in etown, PM me and maybe we can go for pints.

[Boris2k7]

Sure thing. I will probably be staying at the UofA, so it won't be hard to get around. :yes:

Eckville?

[The Chemist]

I'm in. I'm on vacation as of next Wednesday until January 2nd, so anytime within that (other than Christmas and Boxing Day) should work for me.

[Distill3d]

...and i still think we need to do an SSP ALBERTA MEGA MEET sometime somewhere...

i don't think red deer is ready for that yet...

As soon as a crane hits the Red Deer skyline ;)

[Surrealplaces]

I'd be interested in joining in. I'll be around Calgary for Christmas, whatever date is picked, I'll try and work it in.

[Calgarian]

As soon as a crane hits the Red Deer skyline ;)

Red deer has a skyline?

As long as it isn't this weekend, or after next weekend, i'm sure i could pencil it in.

[niwell]

Make it sometime in between Xmas and New Years and I'm in. Back in town for exactly 1 week then!

[Rusty van Reddick]

You know what would be cool?

To have a huge group of people commandeer a Calgary pub on New Years Eve, and, at the stroke of midnight, break every ashtray in the joint.

I'm in Hawaii until Jan 5 but look forward to a new world when I get back. Smoking-wise.

[Bokimon]

count me in starting next week!
I really like crush lounge or the almighty Cowboys dancehall/ceili combo..

[Beltliner]

Crush is cool, or Michelangelo's, depending on the timelines and ambience everyone else has in mind. Just have to think of Perry Como playing on a stereo somewhere in the spirit of the season:

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful--"

"YEAGGHHH! Shut yer festering cakehole!"

* frustrated listener dropping back ten and punting the stereo * :D

[Wooster]

How about we make it friday dec 22nd. At crush on 12th ave.

Can we agree?

[mersar]

That works for me. Word has it the bosses (aka the secretaries) have deemed that everyone gets to go home at noon on the 22nd :) So anytime after then I'm free.

[Boris2k7]

Hmmm... won't be able to make it. I'll be in Edmonton (visiting my 102 year old Great Grandmother among other things).

[Stephen Ave]

I wish I could make it. I'm going to back home to Ottawa to spend Christmas with the folks. I'll meet up with you guys another time.

[Ginty]

Eckville?

How about since most of the money in our Alberta economy is coming from the Oilsands that we have an ALL ALBERTA MEGA MEAT at Diggers in Fort Mac and then head on over to showgirls

[The Chemist]

How about we make it friday dec 22nd. At crush on 12th ave.

Can we agree?

That should work for me. I'm going skiing on Thursday, but any time on Friday is fine by me.

[Bigtime]

I can make the 22nd, but alas my ratio boosting girlfriend cannot! Oh well, we'll just get Bo drunk and go 'fishing' with him! :D

Ninja Edit: Crush has a really good shot called 'The Dead Hitler', who wants in on that action with me?

[Rob D]

I can make it on the 22nd as the office closes down at noon. See you guys there!

[CorporateWhore]

I can do the 22nd, although I would prefer if it started early-ish (ie, 7) since i have another X-mas party to attend to later in the evening.

[Mark Bench]

Could be fun. Won't be in town though. Cheers to all who can make it:cheers:

Hahaha yea yea well best of luck with you doing that to me! :)
However I would be up for that dead hitler shot to see how much goodness or damage it does to me. I am also free on the 22nd for the evening out.
Count me in, I really liked the crush lounge so I hope we can all go there.

[Wooster]

Ok. Let's do Crush lounge at 7:00 this friday

[SHOFEAR]

I'll be in Calgary this friday and wouldn't mind putting a few faces with all your names.

Where is Crush?

[Wooster]

It is on 12th avenue SW in the Beltline. I believe betwen 10th and 11th streets. Can anyone else confirm this? It is in the base of a 1970s or so brick apartment building

[feepa]

I'd show up if I didn't have other commitments :) If this was Saturday, I would definitely be there, just to raz any flames fans that may show up

[Calgarian]

I will be in Kelowna that day, so count me out :(

[mersar]

Crush is at 1312 12 Avenue SW

[Rusty van Reddick]

^that's the NW corner of 12th and 12th SW.

[Surrealplaces]

I think I should be able to make it. I've never met anyone here before, but I should be able to find you guys.

[Arriviste]

Boourns. Working. Oh well! Maybe another time.
God damned retail. Stupid paying the mortgage and tuition.
Enjoy everyone! Have a drink in my honour- or dishonour considering how badly I trash most every project proposed.
It's been a big year in Calgary and next year should be even better. I wish I could sit and chat with you all about it.
Maybe I'll sneak out of work early.
If not, Merry Christmas!!!
All I want for Christmas is PL to be cancelled so that CC can go forward. Someone, please wrap it up for me, and toss it under the tree.

[Bigtime]

Well just a couple more days till the 'funfest' now. As you can see I solicited medical advice in the Calgary thread due to being on antibiotics. So I'm looking forward to getting drunk faster and cheaper now! Is there anything modern medicine can't do?

When are you off? I imagine a lot of us are going to stick around for quite a while. Some people can't show up until past 9.

[SHOFEAR]

I'm on my way to Calgary right now, and I don't think we have internet at the condo. I can't seem to track anybody online you has a cell number (get a phone Josh and empty your damn PM box boris) so I'll be the guy wondering around looking like a retard.

[Wooster]

Just wear an oilers jersey. That will make you look like even more of a retard. ;)

We have had lots of these meetings before where people showing up not knowing what the others looks like. It is really easy to spot these people and call them over - you are right, they do look like retards. :cheers:

[Wooster]

The day has arrived.

I think I will bring an image of a project most of you haven't seen. How is that for incentive?

For those of you who are new and have never been, just look for me so you don't wander awkwardly around the room looking like a fool:

I chose this picture because it hopefully accurately depicts my level of drunkeness that you will see me in.

Hope that helps. See you all there around 7:00. :cheers

[Bigtime]

Those pics are awesome Josh, perhaps the Avatar one can become some sort of 'official' CUI shirt?

Unfortunately I won't be able to drink too much due to antibiotics but I'm still in for all the good times and shennanigans. Can we go push Vantage Pointe over afterwards?

[Bokimon]

Count me in, I will be there around 8pm. See u there at Crush.

Mmm Steak Sandwich!

[Arriviste]

Fuck, still at work. Wish I was enjoying a few choice beverages at Crush instead of slaving away for the man.

[Wooster]

it was good times tonight boys. Can't beieve we were there for almost 7 hours. We'll have to do it again soon, and hopefully some of the others can come too.

It was good to meet you SHOtime, hope you had a good time.

Nice job on the drinking Bigtime, way to not let the medication slow you down.

:cheers:

[jeffwhit]

Bigtime and SHOtime joined forces to form uber-forumer, DRUNKtime.

[Bokimon]

Oh ya,!

Nice picture Josh I forgot to comment that earlier.
It was fun and very long night. I didn't realized that.
Our waitress was quite nice and helped to alleviate the sausage excess stink we all emitted. And those 3 chicks sitting across from us.
Classic discussions on projects, city related matters, Edmonton, Winnipeg, our airport, what was the name of that car show on discovery that i can watch on Youtube again?

[Wooster]

top gear

Great times were had by all. It was nice to meet some more forumers and have some faces to put to the screen names. :)

[Rob D]

Sorry I missed being there guys. Sounds like a good time was had by all. My back has been killing me these past few days , so sitting in a lounge for several hours was unfortunately not an option for me. Enjoy the holidays folks.

[SHOFEAR]

fuck you Hitler and your damn drink. arhhhhhh


Hope I left enough coin ($80 I think). I had to leave while I could still remember what my building looked like. Things got pretty foggy for me after 9. If my 80 didn't cover it I'll buy you guys a round next time.

It was great to meet you guys finally and we'll have to do this again.

[mersar]

No worries, you left enough to cover your share (I believe yours was around $70)

I also agree with what we discussed last night, in that we really need to do an Alberta get together sometime.

[Coldrsx]

^yup...we sure do

[Wooster]

we've talked about that a couple of times. When and where should we make that happen. I am not back in Calgary until may unless it happens really soon.

Calgary or Edmonton?????

[RWin]

Did anyone bring a camera?

[Coldrsx]

perhaps both? friday night in one town and a saturday in the other?

[Wooster]

^that would be cool

[SHOFEAR]

sounds like a wicked excuse for a bender.

[Wooster]

how you feeling there SHOtime? you almost biffed on your face on the way out of the bar there last night. :haha:

[SHOFEAR]

We could all fly to Houston to watch the bows ground breaking ceremony ;) :shrug:

[Wooster]

or to Edmonton to celebrate the next office building to break ground.

Oh wait...we probably want to have the meeting before the decade is up. zing! ;)

[Calgarian]

sounds like i missed out on a good time, too bad i was trying not to crash my car into a mountain lol, hopefullt i can make it next time and put some more faces to names.

The Calgary Edmontom super meet sounds like a good idea, we should all meet in red deer and commandeer a bar.

[Bigtime]

No worries, you left enough to cover your share (I believe yours was around $70)

Yeah baby! I rolled in at $88 for my tab! Looks like Calgary wins again, and what I won this time was a pounding headache this morning! :D

I am so coming on up to Edmonton to drink it up with the crew up there as soon as I can.

Jolly good show last night all!

[SHOFEAR]

and what I won this time was a pounding headache this morning! :D

!

I'll see that pounding headache and raise you a stomach turning 12 floor elevator ride..... http://www.delphi-forum.de/images/smiles/icon_puke.gif


touche' Josh

[Boris2k7]

Too bad I could come. Oh well, I was chillin' with Cold and HHD for a few hours, and finally got a chance to take the LRT here (subways are cool!). As always, I was doing my best for interurban relations. And damnit, where the hell were the rest of the Edmonton forumers! Would have felt lonely if it weren't for the uber hot, friendly girls there (damn you Cold, you seem to have a freakin beacon on you!).

So I guess I will have to make it to the next Calgary meeting... to make up for meeting this last one.

[Sean.Perrin]

Sounds like I should have come out instead of sat at home and done nothing allllllll night long.

Oh well... I'll make sure to attend next time.

[CMD UW]

or to Edmonton to celebrate the next office building to break ground.

Oh wait...we probably want to have the meeting before the decade is up. zing! ;)

Hahaha...that might be good b/c it would give us more drinking time....

[JBinCalgary]

i would love to be there, but unfortunately i live in edson now

[CtrlAltDel]

Damn sounds like I missed a good time. Unfortunately I'm in Winnipeg. I'll be sure to book in the next shitfaced winter/summer funfest.
