New to the boards, of course, but I’m wondering if there have ever been doper meetups in Canada, specifically Western Canada, and most specifically Calgary?
Not sure how many cowtown members there are, but I’m new to the city and looking for ways to meet some people…
We had a couple of doper meet-ups while I lived in Canmore (although I am a Calgarian, I was living in Canmore before I moved here to Baltimore). Calgary Dopers are generally a low-key bunch.
Alice In Wonderland is lovely. As is the ever-elusive Gut.
A few of us get to Calgary from time to time. I usually post when I’m heading home to visit (every summer for about a month).
Hello, Loooong time Calgary lurker checking in here.
When did you move here?(I’m pretty much a lifer - lived here for all but the first 8 months of my life).
I know that there’s a few other Calgarians here. perhaps a mini dopefest would be in order at some time?
Just wanted to say hi, and let me know when the Alberta Dopers are getting together. Dread Pirate Jimbo who is too cheap to buy a membership and I could swing by.
I live in the land of conspicuous consumerism. I tend not to shop much when I’m home visiting - unless it’s for food that the stupid Americans don’t have. Stupidheads.
Yep–if anybody posts the “where and when,” I’ll try to be there too. As long as it’s not at the new Ikea store; it’s so big, we’d never find each other.
Ginger, it’s at Deerfoot Trail and Heritage Drive.
In honour of your coming back, we could do a “theme” evening - we could all bring something uniquely Canadian - butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, Smarties, ketchup chips (or is it the dill pickle that 'Merkins don’t have?), we could all take our shoes off when we come in…
Everyone thinks its so far south, but it’s still well over 100 blocks *north * of me, and I’m still in the city. But I do love that new IKEA, though. We used to have Canada’s smallest (and first) IKEA to (IIRC) the biggest. Woo! Go Calgary!
As for the tasty theme night, there will be Big Rock Products, yes?
