Short-Notice Edmonton Greet - 25 Oct 2006

[Sig_Des]

Allright, I know this is short notice, but I didn't have time to plan...

This morning, I was informed that I and a couple members of my team would be heading to Wainwright...tomorrow morning... Lucky us. We will, however, be staying over in Edmonton for tomorrow night.

As such, because I don't know the city at all, or personally anyone there, I figured I'd put out a feeler to see who might be interested in hoisting a quick pint (or three). I'll be staying at the Ramada on Kingsway ave, wherever that is...

Anyone up for it?

I'm in for this. Trying to think of what there is nearby the Ramada... hmmm. Any ideas Edmonton folks?

I believe Diamonds isn't too far.

 

[probum non poenitet]

I believe Diamonds isn't too far.

That's the South Side Ramada ... and ever since they bulldozed the Kingsway Inn ... ahhh, never mind.

 

[paracowboy]

ooops! You're right. I got too thinking about...well, you know very well what I was thinking about.

I dunno what the heck is out there for saloons.

If you are in the area of Base Supply stop in at the Supply Orderly Room (Bldg 593) and say hi.

 

[George Wallace]

Looks like a $40 Cab ride to [anywhere] will help.

 

[Pea]

Well the city has a million Boston Pizza's and sorts, so maybe we could so something like that?

Para... you going to swing by?  ;D

 

[paracowboy]

Para... you going to swing by?

doubt it. Too many civvies out that way. Might have to talk to some of them.

I guess I can figure out what kinda place Diamonds is,

I may take you up on that, mummiebear. I always like making friends in the supply chain!

Just FYI,

there is a Boston Pizza about three blocks west of the Ramada Kingsway.

And right in the hotel, there is the world-famous Esmerelda's, where they play both types of music: Country and Western.

Last time I was there centurion was a rank, but I get the feeling it still has its 'charm.'

I don't talk to them. If attractive, I may club 'em over the head and drag them back to my hotel room ;D

Thanks. Yes Ezzies is in the Ramada, but it's not generally a good "meet" place. (although a fun bar!)

 

[military granny]

I will be there. Just checked thier web site and they say there is a sports bar in the hotel we could meet there and decide where to go from there.

[Pea]

Ah yes Granny. I forgot they have the "Locker Room".

Des - what do you figure for a timing?

 

[Sig_Des]

Well, we're scheduled to fly into Edmonton around 1500, figure, hour, hour and a half to get through baggage, and settle into the hotel...

Round it out to 1800 for dinner at the locker room, and then drinks wherever from there? I'm up for anything. I'm not the guy driving in the morning  ;D

 

[military granny]

sounds good Des 1800 it is

 

[Milhouser911]

Des, what will you and the fellas be doing in the Wain?  I'm here, and things aren't always all that interesting.  Throw me a PM if you want to get together for a pint.

 

[Pea]

Sounds good to me too. I'll be there.

Some technical support to TF 1-07. Not going to get into details on a public forum. PM inbound about the pints
