Calgary Christmas MeFiMeet - belated take 2

posted January 31, 2017 9:36 PM

Hi gang, Hope the holidays were good for all! Our last proposed meetup ending up falling through as it was difficult to pin down a night when everyone was around - thought I would attempt a 2nd kick at the can and see if we can do a winter gathering of sorts. How does Friday, Feb 10 sound? Just for the sake of lobbing a 1st suggestion into the pool. Hope the new year has been kind to everyone so far & looking forward to seeing everyone again!

I think that's fine but need to check. Spice (plural of spouse) included in the invite?

I'm in for Friday the 10th! Would like to meet more of the Calgary contingent.

I'm out of the country until the 15th. 😔

I'm in. Spouse has other plans. I really liked the last meetup at a board game cafe.

I'm in for the 10th - not too picky about where we end up, either.

I have opera tix on the 10th - by the way, I saw Filumena the first time they mounted it back in the day and loved it, so local event recommendation. (There's two performances not on the 10th.)

Why don't we kick it back until after Feb 15, so that articseal can join?

I'm free on the evening of the 16th if that could work for others! Otherwise, I'm not free again until the following weekend.

And my vote is that spice/SOs be super welcome!

16th should work for me.

Sorry, folks. My sister is arriving from Halifax to visit that day. Have a great time!

we could always push it back so you can come! Is there another day that would work better? How long is your sister in town for?

Thanks so much for trying to accommodate me, but she arrives on the 16th, leaves at dawn on the 25th, and I have a work commitment in Cochrane on the evening of 24th, all day 25th, and possibly into 26th. I think I'll have to pass on this one, and catch the next.

OK, fair enough. Gives us more incentive to do something in the Spring, so that's always good.

Would everyone else be OK with the evening of Feb 16?

Since the 16th is this Thursday, I suggest either setting this from proposed to scheduled or giving up? Lord knows this slipped my mind a couple of times already.

The 16th is no good for me as of this morning and the need to cover for my boss at an event. Not sure that is a factor in anything for anyone in planning this.

I'm thinking maybe we push back to march? There's no rush really, and it would be nice if angiep can join us.
