(SSP Winnipeg) -The Great Drunken Xmas Extravaganza 2007

[Only The Lonely..]

As things wrap up for another year I was curious if you chaps (and lady??) would at all be interested in having an Xmas meetup?

Feel free to propose a date / location..

[Greco Roman]

Depends on the date and if I have any spare time while I'm in town. Would be nice to finally put some faces to the names

I'm hoping that at least a couple of us are beautiful women.

Well, sorry to dissapoint you on my behalf. But as for others, you never know who'll show up...................................

Hey at the very worst the Standard will flow and we'll all get a chance air our grievances towards Alberta in a public setting.

[Only The Lonely..]

My own proposal is to set something up at the 'Duke of Kent' on Albert Street sometime after the 15th.

The venue is empty, central location, and the beer is as cheap as they can legally sell it.

how about this idea we all meet up at yuki for sushi and then go into the bar at the mclarin after the sushi

Well, at least it would be offline. You see, the Calgarians forumers feel like we are too hostile towards their city. They are keeping a close eye on us Winnipeggers, claiming that we are so jealous of them that we can't talk about anything else. I was served on one of the Calgary threads and "put in my place". I have nothing left to do except cry myself to sleep at night


Anyways, if I can make it, I'll definately be there.

Good, the plan for the evening is to plot Newflyer's 2011 return so he can lead us to glory.

And if that doesn't work out, we can get all liquored up and shit talk Edmonton in a no-holds barred setting.

Keep me posted on any updates...................................................

It doesn't hold very late hours. I think it closes around 8 ish on weekday evenings.

I just through it out there as an idea. From past WUI meetings it doesn't take very many of us to fill a table, so I was looking for a place that had enough space to accomodate whoever wanted to show.

[trueviking]

really?...i thought it closed at 3 except on thursdays or something like that....its so hard to tell if it is empty because its closed or if its empty because its a waste of ther most prime piece of real estate in the exchange.

[Spocket]

Booze cans are always open late.

Otherwise , there are all kinds of lounges that tend to be quieter. Which one ? Good question.
As for when , it's all the same to me but I figure most of us would like to know a couple weeks prior to the event as would I.
After about three years of watching and posting on this forum it would be nice to finally meet the people involved. It always makes such a difference to put a voice behind a post.

As for the possibility of there being cute women at this meeting ... well, I'm not a woman but I do have this sexy black strapless number that I've been just dying to showcase for the right crowd. Just remember that if you close your eyes it will all be over before you know it.

I'd rather spend a bit more per pint and hang out in a place that I don't loathe, for what its worth. We've done the Kings Head before, could do that again. Or, the Regal Beagle if you want a quieter pub setting.

Or, The Yellow Dog (behind the Walker) for a nice quiet cozy pub.

Hmmm???

[Archiseek]

must try the yellow dog some night

[Pootkao]

I rather enjoy the Yellow Dog. Small, nice owner/bartender, good vibe. Exactly the kind of place we need more of in this town. I am most happy to support him.

[Only The Lonely..]

Ok, we'll put the choice of pubs to a poll at a later date. In the meanwhile, does anybody want to propose a date? From past experience we've had good turn outs on Wednesday / Thursday evenings.

Do people have a preference for the beginning or end of a week?

the last time i passed by it was at the last wui meeting at 10ish and the place was packed...... witch was on a wensday.....

hows dec 11?
