I’m new to the city and don’t know anybody. Anyone want to get together for coffee? I don’t know the city well but I’m good with the LRT.
Can’t help ya, sorry. If you want to swing down a couple of hours south, however…
Oh sure, then I can get lost in two cities!
Far as I can tell, there’s only one of us in Edmonton on a regular basis, and I haven’t noticed a post from him or her in a long time.
I’ll send you a PM or something when I get there in a week - depends on my rehearsal schedule.
I’m also hoping the time gods will allow me to get down to Calgary at some point; I need to do some schmooze, visit some family and if I’m lucky, maybe go for a pint or three with some of the Calgary dopers. Cat Whisperer and I can go “Pbthbthbth” at each other face to face for a change. 
You’re welcome to come along if it works with your schedule, FloatyGimpy!
“Pbthbthbth”
We’ll have to encourage the Lethbridge contingent come up for that, too. AlbertaDopefest!
You know, the privilege of watching you and Le Ministre going “Pbthbthbth” at each other in person might be worth the trip.
If I’m able to, I think I’ll take you up on that!
If I’m able to, I’d attend.
Past Edmonton threads reveal lots of possible residents:

Thank you so much.
*Makes needscoffee nanaimo bars.
I’m here - hoping we can go for coffee or something.
I’m in Calgary myself but the POF contingent that goes to meets is pretty friendly. I know many of them through my bf who lives up there (POF is not just for getting dates :p). Every Wednesday is pub night at the Ship and Anchor iirc.
PM sent!
And maybe he can do it at high-C. Istr the **Ministre **sings opera…
Any chance of you swinging down to cowtown, Ministre?
**Spoons **& Cat Whisperer, it’s been a while. Hope y’all are well. My regards to the dread pirate Jimbo…
We’re actually going to Edmonton on Friday, October 15 for a Sheena Easton concert - anybody interested in trying to get together then?
Holy crap! She’s still around?? SHe was one of the first 10 cassettes I bought for my brand new Walkman when I was 14.
Off to look at her wikipedia page…
Absolutely!
The one catch - I will not know my schedule for Oct. 15th until 5PM Oct. 14th. Still, there’s got to be a way to get together…
Le Ministre, how long will you be in Alberta? I’m thinking that, regardless of city, there must be a way to pull a Dopefest together somehow. (Although Edmonton would be a little difficult for me, owing to distance.)
Count me in.
Okay, I looked at our concert tickets and talked to my husband (the aforementioned Dread Pirate Jimbo, who is doing fine), and we decided that a Saturday lunch date would work really well for us - how does that work for all y’all?
Done.
