August 10, Crush lounge, 7PM, beer :cheers:

[Wooster]

Is this the beer shitfaced summer funfest?

[Calgarian]

You know it!! lol, guess I put the wrong title on it. :cheers:

[CtrlAltDel]

Sounds like fun! I'm in!

[Bigtime]

I'm always up for a beer meet!

Here is my upcoming schedule of events:

Away during the long weekend
Getting married the weekend after
Honeymoon weekend after that
Buddies stag party weekend after that
Buddies wedding weekend after that

Holy shit! I don't have a single free weekend until September! :yuck:

It looks like I may not be game for this meet then, I'll have to probably raincheck for the winter shitfaced funfest! :tup:

[Arriviste]

Depending on when, count me in. Although, I'm going to have to call it a "Calgary rye and ginger meet" , or perhaps "Calgary double Caesar, extra spicy meet". Never really been a fan of beer, but thats neither here nor there.

[DizzyEdge]

I am in for any beer meet for any reason.

[Wooster]

Johnnyc - I'd say just pitch a time and a place. It will take forever to organize otherwise.

[Boris2k7]

I'll definately be there, if it is soon enough. Since I work in the Beltline right now, I can get to any place pretty quick.

[Calgarian]

would this sunday afternoon/evening be too soon for anyone? at say, Crush?

[Wooster]

^ Long weekend. Out of town. I'd say next week around (except Wednesday or Thursday).

[Surrealplaces]

Around the weekend of the 11th/12th works for me.

[Calgarian]

so, next friday????

[Boris2k7]

so, next friday????

I'll give next Friday my endorsement.

[DizzyEdge]

works for me

[The Chemist]

I'm in for next Friday. Meet up with you guys one last time before heading off to Shanghai. :)

[Calgarian]

So lets say, Friday the 10th @ Crush @ 7PM. sound good to everyone?

[Bigtime]

So lets say, Friday the 10th @ Crush @ 7PM. sound good to everyone?

Can you guys go and pour a beer out on the sidewalk for me? Since I'll be getting married the next day. Never forget bachelor Bigtime! :cheers:

[mersar]

Next friday sounds good to me also.

[The Chemist]

So lets say, Friday the 10th @ Crush @ 7PM. sound good to everyone?

:cheers: :cheers: :yes:

[Wooster]

I think that works

[Calgarian]

I'm in for next Friday. Meet up with you guys one last time before heading off to Shanghai. :)

How long are you in Shanghai for?

[jeffwhit]

^^I will probably be there too, however, it won't be the same without Aaron downing over $100 in drinks.

[The Chemist]

How long are you in Shanghai for?

At least a year - I'm going to teach. If I enjoy it (and I can't see how I won't), I'll very likely stay longer. :)

[Calgarian]

^^I will probably be there too, however, it won't be the same without Aaron downing over $100 in drinks.

I might have to make an attempt at that then. :cheers:

[Bigtime]

Haha, well yeah I did drink a lot at the winter funfest! I'll make up for missing this during the winter season for sure! :cheers: :tup:

[Rob D]

I will be on holidays next week shopping for a condo in Vancouver. Just put my place on the market yesterday and sold today at over list. I love this market!

You guys have fun but please drink responsibly.

[Boris2k7]

No, not another one! Doooon't leeeeeave uuuuuusssss! :ahhh:

But... you sold and now you are looking for a new place?

[Calgarian]

how come you're moving to rainy Vancouver?

[Bokimon]

I'm in, uhh I didnt bother looking at the front page but Im assuming it will be on a weekend or a evening which may work for me.
Okay I gues I might edit this post.

Time it with Taste of Calgary, mm wouldnt that be nice..
They have drink vendors there too and you can get fancy tasty drinks and enjoy your day that way.
Otherwise Fridays or weekends, or maybe holiday monday.

[Rob D]

No, not another one! Doooon't leeeeeave uuuuuusssss! :ahhh:

But... you sold and now you are looking for a new place?

Yes, done deal (as of August 9th, fingers crossed) and I already have places lined up for viewing next week. I'll still be on the forum Boris as I do want to keep up with the happenings in Calgary. Please continue to post lots of photos.

how come you're moving to rainy Vancouver?

Vancouver has always been a favourite place of mine regardless of the rain. It was my original destination after leaving Saskatchewan but I have had a nearly 17 year stopover in Calgary, which for the most part has been quite an enjoyable experience for me. Besides, at some point it is mandatory that gay guys must choose to live in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal or risk having our club membership cancelled and return the toaster oven as well!;)

[Innersoul1]

Haha, well yeah I did drink a lot at the winter funfest! I'll make up for missing this during the winter season for sure! :cheers: :tup:

Wow! Aaron a drinker, who would have thunk it! We will definitly send a cheers your way, any pouring of beer on sidewalks is a waste :koko:

Will be great to meet you lot :cheers:

[Bigtime]

Oh yeah I've come a long way since our high school days man! Or is it really coming a long way or going backwards quite a bit! :haha:

Let's just say I almost died at my stag last weekend, Claeren can speak for proof of that! Didn't even make it to midnight, although I was drinking at 10am at Gleneagles! :cheers:

[Calgarian]

Do you guys think I should make a reservation?

[Tobyoby]

Do you guys think I should make a reservation?

Might not be a bad idea seeing as there are a few of us planning to come.

[The Chemist]

August 11, Crush lounge, 7PM, beer :cheers:


August 10th or 11th? I can't do the 11th. :( I thought everybody had agreed on Friday the 10th?

[Calgarian]

August 10th or 11th? I can't do the 11th. :( I thought everybody had agreed on Friday the 10th?

Yes the 10th, not the 11th, sorry 'bout that.

[Calgarian]

So far there are about 12 of us, so a reservation might not be a bad idea.

[mersar]

I agree, probably an idea to at least give them a call. I haven't been there since they did their reno's, but they did have one area that worked pretty well for a group about our size in the past.

[Bokimon]

More Dead Hitlers????
Maybe I will consider bussing myself there so I wont have to worry about driving. Or somebody who lives in the South wouldnt mind driving me back home ??? :D

[Calgarian]

Dead hitlers sound pretty nasty, lol. I'm sure one of us downtown forumers would be more than happy to offer you a couch for a night if you don't want to cab it back to suburbia.

[Calgarian]

So I'm going to call and make a reservation today for about 15 people, unless of course more people decide to show up.

[Innersoul1]

Bo where do you live?

[Boris2k7]

Somewhere in the South, but well North of me. I think he usually parks his car at Southland...

[Arriviste]

So whats the plan then? Crush, what time at? Should we be pre-drunk, or come with that goal in mind?

[mersar]

I think the original plan was 7pm (the last time we did one at Crush we started then and the last of us finally left sometime after 2am)

[The Chemist]

I think the original plan was 7pm (the last time we did one at Crush we started then and the last of us finally left sometime after 2am)

Yeah, the pre-Christmas bash was a blast! :D

[Arriviste]

7:00? For real? Thats pretty early, but I guess we are assured decent seating.
See you gentlemen soon.

[Calgarian]

yeah, 7 @ crush. it is a little early, but there is the option of staying late, so that means lots of drinking time, and I don't think I will make pre-gaming a requirement. lol

[Calgarian]

So I made a reservation @ 7, under the name SSP (or John if they want a contact name). See you dudes (and hopefully some dudettes, lol) tomorrow. :cheers:

[Bigtime]

(and hopefully some dudettes, lol) tomorrow. :cheers:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :haha: :haha: :haha: :jester: :jester: :jester: :jester:

That is all. :cool:

Edit: Someone get stinkin' drunk and have at least a $100 tab, then we can challenge each other at the next drunk fest when I can make it!

[Calgarian]

I'll do my best man.

[Sean.Perrin]

Fuck I really was interested in coming to the next one of these.. instead im coming down with the flu or something! Fuck.

Oh well.... next time I guess (again).

[Sean.Perrin]

Well... I just realized that it's only the 9th... maybe I'll be good by tomorrow. We'll see... I hope to go!

[Boris2k7]

Good news, ProudlyCanadian is in on the meet. :D

[Bokimon]

Yeah I live in the south, I dunno I think I might actually drive there like I did for the winter meet. I am expecting that we will stay there till late at night again so I think theres ample time to sober up as long as I drink early.
Girls,, yeah we definetly need some ladies to accompany us, or hopefully some nearby our seating area will be helpful.

[Innersoul1]

I will bring my wife. Then we can say that there was at least one "dudette" there! :tup:

[ProudlyCanadian]

Can someone tell me where Crush is? I'm stupid and will probably get lost if I don't have directions.

[mersar]

12th ave at 13th street SW, on the NW side of the corner

[Calgarian]

Yeah, it's super easy to get to, don't know what parking is like cause I don't drive.

[Wooster]

If I can make it, it won't be until a bit later. I hope you guys are sticking around for a while. I gotta go buy a wedding gift for tomorrow. Nope - not for Bigtime's wedding, another buddy. Bigtime didn't invite any of us! :hell: ;)

[mersar]

I'd imagine we'll be there for a while.

As for parking, I believe they still have their parkade on the west side of the building.

[Boris2k7]

Bigtime didn't invite any of us! :hell: ;)

Ha, for good reason! :D :crazy:

What's with these marriages all of a sudden? Us bachelors are dropping like flies!!!

[Arriviste]

/\--- Chris, are you going home from work? We can talk about when I get to your guys' office in an hour-ish.

[Boris2k7]

/\--- Chris, are you going home from work? We can talk about when I get to your guys' office in an hour-ish.

Ha, no. I am going to be around for a while. I am going to head straight to Crush right after I get off work later.

[frinkprof]

I might show up for a bit. I have to work quite early tomorrow, so we'll see.

[Rusty van Reddick]

12th ave at 13th street SW, on the NW side of the corner

12th and 12th. 13th is Super Drug Mart.

I might stop by- going to a birthday thing at Broken City in about 20 minutes.

[Calgarian]

so where do people want to meet? just inside or what?

[ProudlyCanadian]

I will wait just outside. I will be the bearded guy with a green t-shirt and blue jeans.

[Calgarian]

I'll meet out front too, Red haired guy with a blue coat.

[jeffwhit]

sick, sorry.

[The Chemist]

I'm on my way over now. See you guys there. :)

[Arriviste]

It was an absolute pleaser meeting you gentlemen tonight. I hope we can do it again. Now lets get back to arguing...

[ProudlyCanadian]

Boris was completely smashed by the end of the night!! It was hilarious!!

[Bokimon]

Quick! Somebody go back to Crush and pick up Boris before he starts tirading on TOD and urban sprawl to that gorgeous waitress of ours..
Oh ya, and you guys never saw or heard anything while there regarding my little present.. ;)

[mersar]

Well the waitress left before we did, but yeah, Boris was plastered enough he forgot that he paid his tab.

Thanks to those who showed up, was quite an evening:

Josh White
Arriviste
Boris
ProudlyCanadian
FurryCanuck
Frinkprof
The Chemist
Johnnyc
Bokimon

(and the 2 or 3 others who may or may not have came that I don't recall).

However, with exception of the waitress friend of Frinkprof's, we've still not managed to actually get a female attendee at a meet. Better luck next time.

[Claeren]

Bigtime is getting married tomorrow and i am going to his wedding - so that is why we were not there!!! :D

[RWin]

Did anyone bring a camera this time?

[Calgarian]

Chemist was snapping some pics, I think Boris took a few as well. It was a good time last night, thanks for coming out to all of you who did.

[Calgarian]

Quick! Somebody go back to Crush and pick up Boris before he starts tirading on TOD and urban sprawl to that gorgeous waitress of ours..

Yeah, your big announcement of who you work for seems to have fallen on deaf ears, I expected a bigger reaction.

[Boris2k7]

Hey, I'm alive still at least...

Thx to johnnyc for letting me crash on his couch...

Pics from the drunkencam!

I didn't hear what he said... :shrug:

[Innersoul1]

Sorry kids, really wanted to go but Wifey was tired so we went home and chilled! Next time I am there with bells on!

So which waitress did you have? Blonde? Well endowed? Vanessa? She is my fave!

[Calgarian]

I didn't hear what he said... :shrug:

Something about working for a most hated Architectural firm.

[Boris2k7]

Something about working for a most hated Architectural firm.

Haha, that's what I had already figured...

[The Chemist]

I think that's the one. :)

How did I not get my face on camera? I'm the shard of red in the background...

[Boris2k7]

Ha, I thought I had put those twenties down on the table...

[Bigtime]

Ha, I thought I had put those twenties down on the table...

Well it seems the challenger has risen to take me on during the winter shitfaced funfest!

However I should warn anyone if Claeren comes out he could beat us all, judging by the way he was polishing off bottles of wine at my wedding last night! :cheers:

And guys you wouldn't have wanted to be at my wedding, it was out in the country and nowhere near a skyscraper! :D

[Boris2k7]

You just got married and your wife is allowing you to forum? What's going on here!?! :dissy:

[Bigtime]

You just got married and your wife is allowing you to forum? What's going on here!?! :dissy:

Haha yeah in a way she is, honeymoon starts Tuesday evening. I'm back in Calgary and she is still up at the lake with one of her out of town bridesmaids before coming back tomorrow. I get to put in two more days of work before some relaxation!

And why haven't you approved my friend request on facebook? I'm not feeling the love man!

[Surrealplaces]

Damn! It looks like I missed a good one. I was fighting off a cold on Friday, and stayed home from work. I was planning to come, camera included.

Oh, that's because I don't pay any attention to facebook, I completely forgot I was registered there until you said that. :shrug:

I'll do that soon though... :)

[Bokimon]

I think that's the one. :)
