_Bump_ We’re only two days away, people. The guest of honour will be arriving in approximately 26 hours, and we don’t have any idea what to do with him. My email address is [gingerofthenorth@hotmail.com](mailto:gingerofthenorth@hotmail.com). Please let me know if you plan to attend, and I will make appropriate arrangements. I still plan to be in Calgary overnight. I would like some input on what we do and where we go, or I’m going to drag all of you along with me lingerie shopping. ---

Feh. I don’t think I’ll be conneting with you folks tonight, although I’ll be about a block away. But I will be joining you for brunch tomorrow. -Lloyd ---

OK, so where was everyone? It was just me and Ginger all weekend. She was a great hostess and really fun to hang with, even thought all the buildings and bars she remembered from when she used to live here are all gone. Wump? Alice\_in\_wonderland? mmmiiikkkeee? Louhron? Featherlou? Bagkitty? Where were you all? Especially mmmiiikkkeee and Louhron who said you were going to show. I’m in town til Thursday morning. If anyone wants to grab dinner one evening, let me know. Also, apparently you need to know my name in addition to my room number to call…it is Mark Heckathorn, room 726. Thanks again Ginger! ---

I completely forgot about this - but it turned out that I had a family thing Saturday anyway. Anyone going to try for a dinner date this week? ---

This ain’t right, Calgary’s supposed to be a friendly town and Ginger’s pulling all the weight. I suggest Tuesday wing night at Brewsters brew pub on 11th avenue. It’ll be filled with students wolfing down the best wings in town at 15 cents a pop. The hot wings are good and hot and the salt and pepper wings glisten with sea salt. I’ll drop in for a couple of pints under those idylic conditions. ---

I second Brewster’s Tuesday wing night on 11th Ave - we go there quite frequently for their cheap wing night. It could be fairly crowded, but we’ve never had a problem getting a table. So, let me know who’s going to be there, and how to recognize you, so I’m not asking complete strangers if they’re dopers all night, kay? ---

Hmmmm - I’ll try there Tues night (after 7:30-8ish; I have tax lessons). I’ll be the guy wondering around with big cow-eyes trying to spot you’s guys. Actually, I’ll wear my big dark-blue fleece and have a red poppy on it - how’s that? I’ll check the board again tomorrow afternoon in case there’s more to see.
