I'd have to agree, meting somewhere a little further South and then making a group trip. We should each get CB's or something so we can chat back & forth, unless that's too geeky ..

And we don't have to all meet in the same place, I mean I could meet up with people in Lethbridge, or wherever, and then we can casually go North & meet up with more people as we go. That would be kinda cool too, so there's several possibilities

And I have no idea how to get around Calgary, I was there once when I was 6 or 7 I think, when the Winter Olympics were there. But yeah, a hockey game would be sweet ...

Hey blueflame... spring break in march??? are you in college or high school???

Ya man CBs would be sweet most of us in etown have them already...

chrisgushue

ya a graduall incline north would be cool too

BlueFlame

I'm in College

Hey there's a game March 12th - Canucks @ Oilers
(I'm originally from Vancouver)

It'd be sweet to go to that game if there's any tickets left ...

I think I have a CB somewhere, but it only has like a 10' range or something, it sucks so much *** - but I could probably drop a few bucks and get a better one, something that mounts under the seat and has a better range ...

I'm down with meeting here then cruising somewhere.

BlueFlame

Holy crap, I was looking at going to a game in Vancouver (I was gonna drive up in the next few weeks), but they're like all sold out. I can get a ticket to the game in Edmonton in the Gold Section, 102, Row 1, Seat 9 - for like $150, that's so awesome

Does anyone else already have tickets, or want to go to this game (March 12th, Edmonton vs Vanouver)

Graphicdude

I would like to keep this weekend thing as low budget as possible ie. hotel, gas, food, drinking money

I couldn't agree with you more. Haha, but I have no problem driving back to Red Deer at night.

cvcpwr2k2

if my car is on the streets by then, then i'll be down, but probly still be snow so...

chrisgushue

there wont be snow haha have faith and if there s im out

BlueFlame

Yeah, ideally if we could keep it inexpensive that'd be awesome - being a broke college kid and all

In any case, it looks like the plan right now is to meet in Calgary, and maybe travel to Edmonton (maybe not). Anyone South of Calgary who wants to meet up ahead of time and travel together would be cool also.

Now, any thoughts what we could do?
Day at the races, hockey game, bar brawl, check out a movie ... etc.

movie sounds good, then a bar brawl? hehe.

if you guys want to race, we can check out the schedule at bud park to see when power 92 street legals start. Just like at anyother track they require a dot approvel and snell 2000 approved helment, and you car has to pass tech.

chrisgushue

meh my car wont be ready for the 1/4 by then maybe if this was in june hehe

BlueFlame

Yeah, I have only a little desire to take mine to the track, I already know how fast it's not.

But I'm open for anything - as long as it gets me out of the states for a few days, I'm all for it. I have no problem hanging out at the track and watching - and if I'm there I'll probably give it a shot as well

So pretty much I'll let you guys decide what you want to do - I'll just be along for the ride ...
(Not to mention the Canadian Beer, the great exchange rate, the thrill of perhaps going to see a hockey game, the loose women, the ...)

BlueFlame

I think we should all meet in Medicine Hat ...

chrisgushue

well if you want to see a REAL hockey game the flames play nashville on the 20th, not some oilers team thats out of the playoff hunt but i guess vancouver amkes up for the one teams lack of talent haha

chrisgushue

oh and ya cheap beer, im sure i coudl find ya some loose women haha and a bar fight is always good(so it sound slike a strip club is in?) lol

civicstyle82

Bar brawl!!!

Medicine Hat would be sweet, I have to visit someone there so I would have a place to stay.

dret

iTrader: (4)

medicine where???...

MrWong

iTrader: (4)

Medicine hat is like a 5 hour drive from edmonton it is se of calgary

chrisgushue

ya boonies haha we should meet later in april when theres no snow and more cars are done

chrisgushue

and the flames play the canucks in the playoffs:d which is looking like a possibility right now

dret

iTrader: (4)

Ya we should wait till the snow melts hopefully in march
i'll be in calgary on march 6...

chrisgushue

well the snows almost gone now cpl more days and the insurance might be back on the vic

MrWong

iTrader: (4)

I will be in calgary Mar 19,20, and 21

BlueFlame

I was kind of kidding about the hat, I have a couple friends there I could stay with though, so it wouldn't be bad - but it is in the middle of BFE so it's not exactly the best place to meet ...

(Unless of course there's an interest?)

As it stands right now, it looks like the common preference is Calgary

chrisgushue

so what day are we shooting for?

BlueFlame

Well, I think it sounded like we were going for the 13th (or that weekend) which is a Saturday. So if that doesn't work let me/us know now ...

chrisgushue

if you dont care id think late in march or early april would be best due to less snow warmer weather and playoff hockey possibly? lol ust right now if theres a spec of snow my car wont be driven and i dont wanna show up for a meet in my moms van haha
