Hi Everybody! We’d like to get together with any Dopers who would like to show up (we’re assuming they would be from Alberta, likely from Calgary, but anyone else who wants to come would be welcome too). Time and place would be Thursday, December 26th, at the James Joyce Irish Pub at 114 - 8th. Ave. SW in downtown Calgary. Steak & guinness pie, beer, a crackling fire and good company - what more could you ask for? 🙂 ---

I’ll be there. Hope to see all the Calgary Dopers. Looking forward to it! ---

Bump in case anyone from Edmonton is going. If they are and want another passenger, I’ll split the gas cost. ---

Sounds lovely but I dont know if we’ll be in town that night, we probably will but it may be family dinner. Have fun. 🙂 ---

That would be great, **Floaty**. I’d love it if you and **Flutterby** could both make it - I haven’t seen either of you in too long. 🙂 ---

Beer and steak & guiness pie were indeed had (as well as good conversation and a good time). 🙂 ---

Sounds like it was a good time. We were just pulling in to Calgary then so dragging a minor along wouldn’t have worked.
