Ohhh I’d _love_ to meet you folks but _sighs_ I’m busy that Saturday. I’m booked in from 9-6 because of the Athletics ceremonies and stuff… I get to be a River person and that is our first practice. _pouts_ Darn it I so want to meet some people here. ---

Well I guess I won’t be going…I saw the airfare and the cheapest I can get on two weeks notice is $452.00…if we do one with more then two weeks notice it will be under $200.00…I guess I will wait. Keith ---

It’s worth the money that you will save to wait I think Keith. You will definitely be missed, but I’ll tell everyone alllllllllllll about you 😉 Thats one heck of alot of money for a weekend. Next time we will plan with more notice and Feynn can buy you two brewskis! ---

If anyone who wants to come misses this one, I think we should get together for beers this summer anyway. Take a little reality break. 🙂 ---

Odie, who the heck are you booking your flight with? $452.00 seems like a hell of a lot for such a short flight. Westjet can sometimes give one a great rate if you go standby… keep checking. There must be a way to get you here, I’ll buy you three beers okay? Why don’t you drive? ---

That IS Westjet…and it’s a 10 hour drive…and I can’t afford the rest of the weekend, the summer sounds good…we could celebrate my birthday. ---

I mentioned this to Smug and Sue and thought it would be the icing on the cake if we could catch Colin James as he’s playing at Red’s that very evening. 10pm start I think. If we decide to add this to the agenda I can slip over there to get tickets, I think they’re $10.00 each. Smug, I’m with you on the Drop o’ Doom. ---

Going by this thread, I imagine it will be: Me, Feynn, Sue, Smug, Angkins and Silly Rabbit. That’s six. Bernse, Topaz and Odieman can’t make it, and Miss Gretchen hasn’t posted back about it one way or the other, although she is welcome to come. Feynn and I have met Sue and Smug before, but it’ll be the first time we meet Angkins and Silly Rabbit. ---

Now that you have added Colin James I am officially jealous of you guys. I hope to come up to Edmonton some time and meet the whole gang, oh well not much I can do about it. I hope you have a great time guys and I will be thinking of you as I pack for my move. Keith P.S. Of course Westjet announced a seat sale starting on the 26th of February… :sigh: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-edmonton-area-dopers/53559.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-edmonton-area-dopers/53559.md?page=3)
