[Boris2k7]

Alright guys n' gals. I figured it was about time for this thread to pop up. It's almost summer, the sun is setting outside my window and the leaves in the trees all over the Fish Creek valley are blooming. IT'S TIME FOR MEETS!

So, to take advantage of our large membership and good weather, I'm making this thread so that we have a central place for setting up and recording our forum meetups. This is different from the events thread, that one should keep being about external happenings.

[Boris2k7]

My first proposal:

Okay, so gorgeous weather today. I stayed indoors, being laz... err, studying. I'm bored, my brother and his gf are annoying the crap out of me. Time to get out of the house. Weather Network says that tomorrow afternoon is going to be a whopping 31ºC.

I'm thinking of going out for a bit of urban exploration. Or just regular photography... whatever happens. I'm open for meeting times and places. Anyone else want to tag along?

[Ayreonaut]

Someday I'll make it to one of these things, someday.

[ummagumma66]

I have to work, which sucks, otherwise I'd come along...

[Bigtime]

This was a good thread to start up Boris! Unfortunately I will be leaving Calgary later this morning to head up to Buffalo lake for some R&R.

A 'SSP Summer Shitfaced Funfest' should be planned, that would be great. I would suggest some time during the Stampede for maximum partying.

[freeweed]

Today's high is now forecast at 33.

How quickly can one dig a pool?

I think I'm going to go drown myself in the Bow.

[Boris2k7]

Well, I guess it's good that I downloaded all that anime... :\

[ummagumma66]

it was much hotter on Yamnuska I'd say almost 38 till you reached the summit, then it was it was cooler, but not by much.

[frinkprof]

So how about a meet sometime? What dates work for everyone? June 6th works for me, don't know about other dates.

[Bigtime]

If you are going to for the kind of meet where we can stay up later and drink harder Saturday's work better for myself. I usually end up being at work at 8am on Saturdays.

[Boris2k7]

So how about a meet sometime? What dates work for everyone? June 6th works for me, don't know about other dates.

I'm going to be finished my course before this day, so I'm good for a meetup.

[ummagumma66]

a saturday would be better, but a friday after 5 is fine.

[Calgarian]

So is there still anyone interested in meeting up for some beers this weekend?

[Innersoul1]

I know my wife is going out with the ladies one of those nights...time to go to town boys!

[frinkprof]

If it's Friday, I'm there. Saturday would work if I end up not working that day.

[Bigtime]

I could make this weekend work as well, Saturday evening would be the better venue but I could swing Friday also.

[Boris2k7]

I'm still good for either day.

[mersar]

Same here.

[Bigtime]

It appears that Friday would actually be the better day for me this week. Should we work towards that?

[Innersoul1]

What we have to accomodate you? ASSHOLE!!! :haha:

Sure whatever works!

[Wooster]

I'll be home for a couple of weeks at the end of June and beginning of July. It would be great to catch up with some familiar faces and put faces to the fake names I haven't met.

[Bigtime]

What we have to accomodate you? ASSHOLE!!! :haha:

Well you know, I'm sort of a big deal :D Besides, you broke my heart by not showing up to Amsterdam Rhino on Saturday.

Josh, we definitely need to have a meet up while you are back. Let us know what dates work best for you.

[frinkprof]

I say someone (not me) should plan a Friday meet.

[Bigtime]

We should shoot for something in the Beltline for Friday. I'm always a big fan of Crush lounge.

[ummagumma66]

I liked bottlescrew bills the last time we all got together, Crush is a bit of a hike for those of us who can afford to drive, but whatever.

[Bokimon]

Damm Friday wont be good for me :(
Hop-n-Brew was another good place across from the IBM campus.
note, if it will be a late night like past midnight then I may try and get off work early to drop by.

For that calgary thread, I am still catching up on what I missed over the past couple of days since the Beltline meeting. Its already near 1000 posts, or maybe over that by now. Very hard to keep up yet again.

[Innersoul1]

Just let me know where and when and I shall attend! I believe that I will bring the Mrs. to provide a legal perspective to our discussion!

[Calgarian]

I might be able to make Friday but a co worker is going to another firm so a bunch of us are going to go out and have a few drinks after work as a send off, so we shall see.

[Bigtime]

Why don't we make it Bottlescrew Bills on Friday then? How does that sound?

Any start time work best for people?

[Innersoul1]

Whatever works for everyone... I am there with bells and whistles on...

[ummagumma66]

I expect to see you wearing bells and whistles.

[Bigtime]

Well lets make it official for Bottlescrew Bills on Friday. I can be there for a 7pm start. I'll post this over in the Calgary thread as well.

[ummagumma66]

Fantastic, 7 pm it is.

[Innersoul1]

Hey GrandTiempo....is Mrs. LargeOra coming?

[Bigtime]

Hey GrandTiempo....is Mrs. LargeOra coming?

She's on the fence right now, perhaps if Mrs. Innersoul1 is coming I can convince her. Ratios are never really good at these get togethers! :haha:

[mersar]

7pm works nice for me as well :)

[Innersoul1]

Mrs. Soul is coming for surely!:)

[Bigtime]

Mrs. Soul is coming for surely!:)

I'll see what I can do then, I think that will sway her.

[Sean.Perrin]

I'll be home for a couple of weeks at the end of June and beginning of July. It would be great to catch up with some familiar faces and put faces to the fake names I haven't met.

LOL!

[Innersoul1]

Hey Biggie have you swayed your maiden?

[Bigtime]

Hey Biggie have you swayed your maiden?

She may make it out later. Her and a friend are hitting up the Sex and the City movie <shudder> first.

[Bokimon]

have a pint or a dead hitler for me guys!
I will have to opt out on this one because i have to work.

[Innersoul1]

She may make it out later. Her and a friend are hitting up the Sex and the City movie <shudder> first.

Does that make you less of a man? :haha:

[Bigtime]

How does that make me less of a man? I dodged a HUGE bullet by not having to go and see it!

Sarah Jessica Parker, and that catchers mitt she calls a face? BAAARF!

[Innersoul1]

yeah yeah! I was just trying to take a poke at ya! "Catchers mitt she calls a face" ROFL! :jester:

[Innersoul1]

So Let's get a roll call! Who's in for tonight!?

[frinkprof]

I'll probably make an appearance

[Bigtime]

Booyakasha!

[Boris2k7]

Me too.

BTW, I can no longer type symbols. When I hit the semicolon key I get ñ

What the hell did I do_

[Claeren]

So you are both in Dave and Aaron?

hmmmm...... maybe i should grace you all with my presence....




Claeren.

[Claeren]

Mrs. Soul is coming for surely!:)

You are seriously making her come hang out?! haha

Well at least it gives me someone to flirt with!! :D



Claeren.

[Bigtime]

Damn right you better finally come out Claeren!

Then again Dave and I both being there could cause a 'critical mass of pure awesomeness' to occur. I can't even fathom what will happen if all 3 of us are there!

[mersar]

I shall be there.

[Innersoul1]

Damn right you better finally come out Claeren!

If I recall you and Claeren missed me at the Rhino. Maybe with me there Claeren just might get laid! :haha:

Yes, I am brining my lady and if you are planning on flirting you better bring your A game!

[Calgarian]

I'll be there. I'm already drunk, so it may be an early night. haha

[Innersoul1]

Do you guys have any clue what the menu is like at Bottlescrew Bills? Just wondering if I should eat there or at home?

[Bigtime]

I'll be there. I'm already drunk, so it may be an early night. haha

Ok, for those that haven't met me here is my game plan and easy identification.

I'm walking over from Arriva at 7pm. I'll be in the bright green lacoste t-shirt.

[Calgarian]

I really hope that you are not driving.

[BFHeadstone]

Lemme know if they still have Ym Youngers on tap yummmmmm

BTW my name was (or used to be) on one of the plaques on the wall. Did the round the world trip back in my twenties :cheers:

[Calgarian]

It was good to meet some of the people on here, some interesting debates too, lol.

[freeweed]

Considering how my evening ended up, I shoulda done this. :(

[ummagumma66]

Indeed. That was fun.

[Bokimon]

[Innersoul1]

Yeah! It was great to meet you lot! Good times had for sure!

[Bigtime]

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. I think it is high time we schedule another get together to eat, drink, talk about tall buildings, urban development and bewilder onlookers with a table full of a lot of guys.

Long range forecasts show the weekend of October 18th to be a good time for myself, particularly the Saturday night. Anyone else have some interest? We could label it as our "SSP Shitfaced Halloween Funfest". Out of town forumers are always welcome!

Thoughts?

[Calgarian]

maybe, it's my birthday a few days after so I might be out with Friends that weekend, but if not, I'll be there.

If you're central enough I will definitely be there, I have a show that night, so I probably won't be out until 10:45-11:00ish, but I'll keep my tux on so at least I'll be classy ;)

[Rob D]

I would like to be there but due to the distance I can not.

BTW-you are always classy Jeff:cheers:

[jeffwhit]

^^ What I really meant was that I'll make all of yous a look classy. :)

[ummagumma66]

I'm in as long as its not right after my surgery (don't ask...:@)

[Bigtime]

Classy eh Jeff? Perhaps I should buy a tuxedo t-shirt to keep the classiness going!

[Innersoul1]

Hmmm Good times!

I wonder if we can actually get a legit forum female out!

I might be at that concert... and may head over afterward to this as well.

I actually was supposed to play with you guys this week, apparently... but I guess someone else got called just above me in the list! Damn... would have been fun.

[mersar]

I will just point out that Oct 18 is Flames vs Oilers, so let's factor that into the choice of places.

I was hoping to get everyone out on the evening/night of October 18th. Flames game should be on tv somewhere as well, to give us something to talk about besides skyscrapers.

If your girlfriend doesn't like you obsessively browsing the forums do not bring her out. It could drive her crazy!

Or Mr. "Brown Sugar" Innersoul may work his married man charms on her too! :haha:

[Calgarian]

So where do you want to meet? Bottlescrews again? or maybe somewhere different, maybe Original Joes on Stephen Ave?

I've never hit up the Original Joes on Stephen Ave, that could be a good choice.
