Western Canada Meetup - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Alrighty then, it's been suggested in the Calgary Rollcall thread and I'm making a thread for it.

Meet up at bars, as previously mentioned is a cliche.

BC/Stampeder game would be another idea on the 12th. Unfortunately, since I work fridays

Eskimos/Stampeder game would be even better and to kick it off, Sept 1st is Alberta Centiennal which is guarenteed to be helluva blast!

Bowling was mentioned as well.

Discuss!

Football sounds like a good idea, but we'd need to get a bunch of tickets in the same spot. I'll look into it, I have a bit of a connection.

But, realistically, our house just went on the market so my life will be in a bit of a turmoil until we sell this house and buy another. Shit, not the way I wanted to spend my summer, fixing up my house and packing to move. Oh well.

On the other hand, if anyone's looking for a cozy bungalow in Ramsay, le tme know! : )

Peace,

Pierre

I like the idea of a pub where the nerdier among us can play NTN.

Minx · 07-25-2005, 11:43 AM

We can play NTN after the game!

I'm up for a meeting wherever it may end up.

The football game would be cool...feelgood - the game that night doesn't even start until 8 so maybe you could still make it?

And vox...shame on you! Even with all the "real" life crappola going down surely you could spare a little bit of time to get together?! *wink*

Hmm..I get off around 9 or so, I suppose it would be possible for me to miss the first half.

Nah...that bites....you don't want to miss any of the game. Or the tail-gaiting! The September 5th game would be tres cool but difficult to get tickets for. I would maybe not even have all of mine as I have to share. *pout*

Firstly, yes, NTN is good after the game. I used to rule the NTN board at Melrose until I got a life. Now I don't think I've played for over a couple years.

And I'm with Minx on this, you don't miss the game to play games in a bar, you put the games in the bar on hold while you watch the game.

And, geez, now do I ever feel like a lamer! My bad. Mea Culpa. Whatever else makes me sound like a loser. I'm sure I could spare some time to get together with other local TFPers.

By the way Minx, I left a couple of comments on your other post (in the Ex. forum), hopefully to make you chuckle. I hope you will.

Well, to say some nice things too, but I digress.

Maybe if there are only 4 Calgary TFPers willing to go to the game on the 12, maybe if we ask really nic and proimise to buy Minx a coiuple of rounds and/or throw a few bucks int othe hat, she could bring her and three TFP Stamps fans.

Just throwing that out there, for fun.

Peace,

Pierre

I think the Labour day classic would be a riot. If we wanted to get a section of seats together, we should get started.

Minx · 08-03-2005, 11:45 AM

I'm working on the tickets for the BC game (12th) still.....I'll let you know if I can snag them all.

The Labour Day Classic is going to be tough......I know already that I'm going but the other spare tickets are spoken for already. Sorry!

vox_rox · 08-03-2005, 02:32 PM

Cool, if you can arrange something you get a gold star!

And, hey, thanks for thinking of us all Minx, you rock!

Peace,

Pierre

Well, i'm in for a meetup. Not sure if I can get tickets for the eskies game though.

Suave · 08-04-2005, 12:44 PM

What the hell is NTN?

wdevauld · 08-04-2005, 03:31 PM

Gaming found in Pubs. Most often it's trivia, but on Sundays during the season you can play QB1. If you are serious you can sign up for Players+ (free) and accumilate points for prizes.

More details: www.ntn.com

Suave · 08-04-2005, 11:12 PM

Ahhh I've seen dudes playing that at a local pool hall.

Minx · 08-05-2005, 01:39 PM

NTN is cool. I'm a trivia freak so I like it.

And yes....still working on those tickets for the BC Calgary game......the trick is my boss wants to come. Bleh!
