Minx

Firstly....I have four tickets (east side, of course) but if we had a bunch of us getting together we can skip that and go for a block of tickets.

And *giggles* holy SHAT the 'Riders game was great! All those poor watermelon heads all sad! Sorry...they are the best fans ever to party with! And please.........Eskies on Labor Day....they shall be in for a big ass-kicking party!

I'm wondering if there aren't more than 4 stamps fans in the Calgary TFP binch, in which case....

And I agree, as much fun as it is to kick ass on the field, it would have felt much better if it were some other team, like the Esks, or the Argos, or the Lions - take your pick. Still, a win is a win, and the Roughies fans know how to take a loss, they've had lots of practice over the years.

In THAT game, there is no such thing as too big enough an ass-kickin'! I was talking to John Forzani a couple weeks ago and I told him my two favourite teams are the Stamps and whoever plays the Eskimos. He laughed.

I just HATE when we lose to those pukes! Anyway, let's just hope that, win or lose on Labour Day, we still have a better season that last.

Peace,

Pierre

I am new to this forum, and glad to see something about my home town. I live in Calgary and love it. Getting together at a stamps game would rock (or some place else).

Well.... I hate to admit it but I am a die hard Ti-Cat fan. But a Stamps game would be a good idea. Tail gate before..... tail gate after.... and do something.

Minx

Let's get a date and plan for it then guys!

I'm sooooooo in!

Okay, Minx is right, so here's what I propose.

There is a Calgary vs. Montreal game on Aug 18 televised on TSN. It says it's 7:00 ET, so that means we would have to meet up somewhere (Schank's?) around 5 or so and maybe we could nosh on some bar food, watch the game, play some NTN and just chat.

This way, we don't have to worry about tickets to the game, how many of us are coming, all that jazz.

So, anyone into it? Painless evening of CFL/NTN and Big Rock?

It's a week from this Thursday, so find out what your schedule looks like and let's moving.

Post here. Post often.

Peace,

Pierre

alright.... so if we do something... does that mean I have to act my age? Just kidding..... anywhere is fine, though I don't think I would be that good at NTN, never played it and I know I am not that good at trivia.

feelgood

Count me out for that day, weekends would work, unfortunately I work evenings at Fedex

I'd be in for that, absolutely!

Are we talking the north or south Shanks? *please say south* :P

It needn't be either. ANY sports bar with TSN and 5% of a working brain will have the game on, and most of them have NTN as well. There are a couple of bars along 17th Ave, or even on 11th that will be up for it, and there must be a few more downtown that will do the same. DT might be more central for everyone as well - just a thought.

So, now that I *think* we have a date and time, let's all just put our heads together and find a venue. I could certainly deal with Shanks South, but just because I mentioned it, doesn't mean that is where it has to be.

Besides, I'll be using public transit and coming from the N.E., but I live in Ramsay, so I would really prefer to go south, and I think downtwon/uptown might be the way to go.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

Peace,

Pierre

Doesn't matter to me where, because I live slightly outside, commute into Calgary. Basically any day would be fine depending on how long they want me to work.

metalgeek

I'm in, since I just arrived back in Canada today, but how bought shanks north? it's nicer..
They need a good sports bar downtown
altough 5pm is a bit early..

Yeah, it is, but it's also about three crappy suburbs further than most of us want to travel.

Well, not having been to a sports bar downtown in a while, I asked sme people I know and came up with the following short list:

MVP's Sports Bar and Grill
136-200 Barclay Parade SW Calgary T2P 4R9

Whistles Sports Bar
232 8 Avenue SW

MELROSE CAFE & BAR
730 - 17 Ave SW

GARAGE BILLIARDS, BAR & GRILL
Eau Claire Market

The Forum
739 2 Av SW AB

Player's Cafe & Bar
834 5 Avenue SW

I haven't been to the Forum or Players, so I can't vouch for them. Th eGarage is more pool than sports, but the have lots of televisions, although no NTN. Melrose has big screen, will play the game, and also have NTN. I'm not sure if MVP's is even around as I can't actually get a phone lisitng for them.

If anyone else has any suggestoins, let me know. Otherwise, I say we tentatively say Melrose just because it's easy and central for most of us.


Yeah, it is. It's just that the game that day is in Montreal, so they start 7:00 pm ET, which sucks. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

Peace,

Pierre

wow!.. im suprised with the amount of calgarians here!...
im kind of new here.. but i would be down for a tfp meet up. Maybe meet some of the lovely ladies that post on here.

About location: maybe we could go to this place called F.A.T.S... its on 10th st.. close to the sunnyside LRT. It has really nice plasma tvs and has NTN as well.. also an open ledge if the weather is nice. The only problem might be that it is quite small.. probably 100 ppl max.

anyways.. i'll be checkin here for the updates.

feelgood

Holy christ, it is me or is mother nature reminding us that summer ain't lastin long?

Last week was nothing but depressing weather and for the last 24 hours there has been nothing but pouring rain!

Okay, so I guess no one is checking this thread to meet up for some football and NTN.

Can't really get it together for this thursday, so maybe we'll try for another game in September. Maybe if th eLabout Day rematch in Edmonton is televised that would get people interested in eating greasy bar food, shouting, drinking beer, and playing some NTN.

I'll try.

In the meantime, it would be SO NICE IF IT WOULD FRIGGIN' JUST STOP RAINING!

Peace,

Pierre

I would be up for that but perhaps we should make a separate thread?
