My name is **lolagranola** , I live in Edmonton, and of course I’m interested. Now, who’s interested in seeing **Canadian Sue** and **Smug** get totally blasted this time? Shooters all the way around, I think. 🙂 **Silly Rabbit** , you coming? **Odieman** , are you going to make it this time? Is **Miss Gretchen** still around? Where shall we meet this time? ---

I thought that the reflecting pools were closed for July? Oh, I forgot you don’t live in Edmonton. Just to let you know, the reflecting pools will be closed for July (and doesn’t that suck!). Um… the idea sounds good, though. Anything else similar you can think of? And I am _so_ with you on the margarita’s. ---

Ditto. Try to get a date down and I will try to make it. I am about 4 hours away… just a nice distance for taking the bike out for a ride. ---

**bernse** , I knew I was forgetting at least one person! Sorry. ☹ What if y’all name mention any dates that would work best, or dates that you can’t make it for. **Feynn** hasn’t booked his holiday time yet, but I think we’re taking ours in August, so anytime in July should be ok for me. ---

We’re due for another get together… margueritas, BBQ, more margueritas… And I will finally get to meet my evil twin, Odieman. 🙂 ---

I may be in Edmonton when the Riders come to continue their streak in Commonwealth Stadium - July 13th? Don’t know if I could make it or not. GO RIDERS!! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > \*\*When’s the Ex? That might be a good time. > \*\* If you mean K-Days, I think its the last two weeks of July or something like that. I don’t have anymore real holidays to take until October and then I’m off to Belize, so the only real hope I have of making it is to put it on a weekend for sure… hopefully I can sneak away from my husbandly duties for a weekend… 🙂 ---

Count me in (depending on the date.) Working it around a football game would be ideal, as far as I’m concerned, but I’m not locked into that. ---

I am not sure yet if I can go. I have volunteered for The World’s and I don’t have my schedule yet. Let me know where and when and I’ll go from there. Hey **lola** … I can’t really use ICQ anymore… it shuts down on me all the time. So I will have to check here or you can always CALL me, ya know 🙂 ---

My holidays fall at the end of July and beginning of August. I expect Odie to be here so he can collect those beers I owe him. ---
