Calgary Dopefests - End of July

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

As discussed in this thread, we are planning a Calgary Dopefest or two at the end of July.

Here’s the skinny so far:
11th Ave Chili Club on the 30th of July at 6:30 PM eating Lemon Garlic Prawns with alice_in_wonderland, GingerOfTheNorth, gut, lost in cyberspace, probably featherlou and Dread Pirate Jimbo, possibly Spoons (and wife), trupa, and serious lark.

Because adam yax is leaving Calgary just before then, and we are hospitable folk (and I’m not opposed to not cooking twice that week), we’re thinking of going out for dinner one night earlier that week as well. As trupa has mentioned, adam, would Thursday, July 28th work for you for a dinner engagement?

I’m 98%. Don’t know if I can swing both, because it’s a two-hour drive for me both ways.

3

Sorry - I missed the Lady and Flutterby who sound like they are a yes and a definite maybe.

4

So, is there going to be any love for me?

5

Are you available for Thursday, July 28? That sounds like it would be most convenient for trupa and serious lark. Jim and I are available most days (barring baseball playoffs and such).

6

I shall mark them both on the calendar.
I’m pretty sure both work…

7

My summer is completely up in the air. I have no idea, at this point, if I’m going to be in Alberta at that time. If at all.

8

I’d popped into other Calgary threads before, and it looks like it might have been worthwile…I’m flying into Calgary on the 28th, and was planning on spending a couple of nights in the city before heading off into the mountains. So I may well be turning up :slight_smile: (Although I do have a whole Irish extended family to work around!)

Okay, so we have Thursday, July 28 and Saturday, July 30 pencilled in for Dopefest Dinner.

10

I’ll make the 28th work. I was going to go to Canmore for the night, but I’ll stay in Calgary. Now, for a restaurant - I love Caesars but Thai or Indian or Chinese (real or north american) is fine by me. Of course, I’ll probably get to Caesars at some point anyway. I’ll try anything so any ideas?

11

I’m thinking over here - how about Indonesian? Restaurant Indonesia is very good (well, it was good the one time we went there), but parking might be a concern on a Thursday night.

12

you can put me down as a high % maybe, and if i come i can likely drag rebekkah along.

14

I’ll attest to Scoob’s ability to drag me along.

I had fun at the last event.

15

Can’t say that I have ever had Indonesian food before. I’d love to try it - would other attendies be okay with this restaurant choice?

I’ll bump this in a day or two since Calgary dopers may miss this on the 1st.

16

I’ll eat just about anything :slight_smile:

17

Well, the 30th is out for me. I’m scheduled to work that evening, unless the manager changes it but that’s unlikely.

The 28th, I could probably do. I’ll just have to be sure to keep some money in my pocket :smiley:

18

And if I do come, I’d be fine with Indonesian. Don’t think I’ve had it before, but I’m willing to try something new.

19

Hence the username? :smiley:

Got that right ! :smiley:
