I've always been in BC the stampede week, but this year im gonna hit up stampede at least twice before I go to BC.

And HOLY CRAP did it ever just start to piss rain outside!! It's gonna be so green this summer!

Damn straight Calgarian here (sort of)

I've been to Stampede almost every year (except when I lived in Ohio) but it's awesome.

Suave

Shizz sorry. I didn't check this forum for a while. Yeah. Fellow Calgarian here, and going to the Stampede at some point for sure.

Not too bad, definately gives me something to bathe in since we have no running water in Canada.

Well that might be a problem

vox_rox

Yup, I'm a Calgarian, I really do hate the stampede though. Still, come on out for some great mountain biking, some outstamding hiking, and just some great western hospitality. And I mean everyone. Toronto, you've never seen mountain biking like we have. And really, hasn't this ndus sagainst them thing gone on long enough. Let's feel the love!

Peace,

Pierre

Tempboy

Calgarian here, but currently in Australia for school... no rain for me! Sun all day, every day. Hahah

kramus

I caught some Stampede when I lived there the summer/fall of '78. Nice place if you have a car. Got a little chilly so I thumbed to Van and enjoyed an extended spring instead Maybe again some day.

Another Calgarian signing in. Well, at least I thought it was Calgary, recently it's looked a lot like monsoon season in the Far East.

Another Calgarian here! Loving life now that the damned rain has stopped and summer has finally come to visit!

So.....where are all the cute, single cowboys?!? *insert naughty leer here*

Gotta agree with Minx here, glad the friggin skies have cleared up, the mountain bike trails should be dry and in great shape in about two weeks, then life will be good again.

As for cowboys, cowgirls, cow-whatever, it's tough to find in Calgary during the Stampede when you spend so much time watching the sidewalk making sure you don't step in the puke from the night before.

Sorry to sound so negative, but Stampede so DOES NOT do it for me.

Peace,

Pierre

Calgary here too...I woulda responded earlier, but I dont often check out the Canada forum...cuz...well, Canadian discussions arent really all that enthralling, eh!

Karla Homolka...GD liberals...GD conservatives...Seperatists east, and west!

too much water, too little water...my basment flooded, OH THE HUMANITY!

as for the stampede? meh...i do like the cute girls in the faux cowgirl tight t's though!

rant over...carry on

rbaron71

Calgary in the house!

I went on the Stampede Club Crawl yesterday and spent most of today nursing a hangover. Drank a lot of beer, saw a lot of boobs, and danced far too much than my cowboy boots were designed to do. I'm off to a few Nashville North nights this week, and Tim McGraw on Saturday night.

Giddy-up!

Minx

I'm with vox_rox - the Stampede just doesn't do it for me anymore. Too many pretend cowboys and cowgirls. Bleh. Although I would have liked to take in Stabilo's performance on the sneak a peak night...I love that band.

I'm gonna be back in Calgary soon for university, and need to find a roommate.
I already have a place right next to the foothills hospital.
Anyone know someone looking for an apartment?
Rent would be 350 plus utilities.
PM me I guess

Wow I had no idea that so many people from calgary used this forum, and I am glad to see it. In part because I am from calgary, and secondly because we rock :P.

Lassus - I have to admit that I too am surprised at the number of members we have from Calgary. So...who's up for a get together?

streak_56

Sounds like a good idea.... but where and when? Maybe we could include a "Northwestern" tfp get together, I know there are a few people in Vancouver and Washington.

vox_rox

Hey, that sounds like an idea. Meeting at a bar sounds a bit cliche though. Maybe we should go bowling. Maybe raft down the Bow.

Just a thought.

Peace,

Pierre

How about a meeting at a Stamps game?! Come on.....cold beer, cheerleaders, football! What more can a person need?

August 12th is BC at Calgary.

Damn..Me wishes i was in calgary to take Minx to a football game...How awsome would that be, Taking a girl or her taking you to a football game

I'm pretty surprised too at the amount of people from Calgary.

I'm pretty sure I'll be at that game...my cousin is a Lions fan, so we'll end up fighting each other at some point.

feelgood

I would love to show up at the Stamp games but lets make another thread for this.

I'm going to check out at work tomorrow what the logistics are for getting a block of tickets in the same section. I know Minx already has her's but maybe she could sell them for one game so that the Calgary TFP group could hang together.

I'd need to know approx numbers, so if you're interested, post here fast and I'll get some idea.

We could always make it another game too, so don't panic. By the way, what do y'all think of the Stamps ass-kickin the roughies? Right on! Now, if they could only do the same thing to the friggn' useless Eskimos on Labour day, I could die happy.

Peace,

Pierre
