I had a 5:30M shift today, and where I work is just a block away from the street the parade marches down. I saw the people piling up and bits of the parade from my window. You gotta love the screaming Calgary pride

Temporary_User · 07-09-2004, 03:27 PM

Yeah, its always a good time!
I was out @ Tequila on thur and had a blast!

losthellhound · 07-10-2004, 07:21 AM

Have fun you great Calgary people

sherpahigh · 07-10-2004, 08:49 AM

shannon · 07-10-2004, 09:44 AM

my mom was there like 30 years ago and i think she still thinks about it. have fun!

Baldrick · 07-10-2004, 03:06 PM

Oh man! It's been about six years since I've been to the Stampede.

I'll have to plan a business trip around it next year.

Tip a pint for us who can't make it, Unga! And tip two for the poor sods who don't know what they're missing.

Unga · 07-10-2004, 11:09 PM

oh gawd the most i've ever drank is maybe 2 shots

maybe this year

Tempboy · 07-11-2004, 07:35 AM

Damn, this is the first time I've missed Stampede in like, 6 or 7 years.

BOOOOOO
I wish I could go.
I will wear my cowboy hat in honour of it.

Kazic · 07-11-2004, 08:13 AM

should be a good one. the weather is awsome for it.
the parties on 17th should be pretty wild.

Charlatan · 07-12-2004, 06:39 AM

The last, and only time, I made the Stampede was in 1981 when I went to the Boy Scouts Canadian Jambouree in Kananaskis. We took a day trip into Calgary to visit the Stampede.

I haven't been back since. Shame really.

Lassus · 07-12-2004, 03:04 PM

I always go on the last day and go up the side of the saddledome closest to the grandstand best free place to see the fireworks

skier · 07-13-2004, 08:47 PM

I gotta miss the stampede this year.

really too bad.

maybe next year!!! roadtrip to calgary

EK69 · 07-14-2004, 01:21 AM

i gotta go one of these days..lol

Temporary_User · 07-14-2004, 08:09 AM

Im having a blast this year!
Again I went to Tequila last night. I can't say if I had a better time than last. Both were too much fun.
What are all of your stampede activities you all take in?

the_marq · 07-14-2004, 10:23 AM

I like stampede cause it's the anniversary of my GF and I getting drunk and hooking up. 3 years so far and still going strong.

Thank you Calgary Stampede.

Unga · 07-14-2004, 08:27 PM

I don't think I'm seeing it this year due to time restraints, but i usually watch the hypnotist show if its on. I always wanted to watch his private 18+ show. Oh and super dogs

EK69 · 07-14-2004, 09:35 PM

theres a hypnotist there?!
damn im going to hafta try and check that out lol

and super dogs..thats like tradition lol

Temporary_User · 07-15-2004, 02:16 AM

I saw part of the hypnotist, I forget his name, but he was getting guys/gals to dance w/ him.
I got there too late to get up there for myself. I personnaly don't believe them, but am curious to find out first hand if real or just actors up there,

Tempboy · 07-17-2004, 06:35 AM

Was it Terry Stokes?
If so, his show is boring if you've seen it before.

He does the same stuff, and even makes the same jokes.

Unga · 07-17-2004, 08:01 PM

I dont even know his name. It was too hot this year to stand outside and watch him. The people in front of us didnt provide enough shade :P

Temporary_User · 07-18-2004, 04:15 AM

yeah, pretty sure that was his name.
It was boring, like I said I saw 10 minutes or so of him.
I was @ the beer gardens and still left.
