July in Edmonton

[Savonarola]

I will be in Edmonton for business from July 8 to 12.  Is anyone up for an IRL meeting in the evening of either the 10th or the 11th?  I'll be staying near 175 Street and 100 Avenue.

(The usual disclaimer: as with everything else in rail, this is subject to change - usually at the last minute and without warning.)

[Grey Fox]

Expect Snow.

[Barrister]

Of course I'd love to meet up!  I believe Camerus is the only other semi-active poster in Edmonton, and although we've mentioned it once or twice, we've never met up.  Maybe if Neil happens to see this, but I haven't seen him for a long time.

As it happens my family will be out camping that week while I stay at work (my holidays start July 20), so I'll be around with not much to do.  You're out at the west end which isn't my usual stomping grounds - I work downtown and live in the south, but I could probably make it out there.

Let's see... the Street Performers Festival is going on that week - grab some food truck food, watch some jugglers/comedians/whatever.  Might be fun.  Or since you're nearby, I could take you to the one thing Edmonton is world-famous for - our Mall.

Expect Snow.

Don't be crazy.  You don't expect snow in July.

You just can't rule it out entirely.

[Admiral Yi]

Is that the mall featured in that movie about the two fuckups working in the oil fields?

It has snowed 100% of the time I have been there in both July and August.  2/2 times. 

[Barrister]

Uh, FUBAR?  Haven't seen it, but if it's a mall in Edmonton, then yes almost certainly.  We do have other malls, but WEM is "The Mall".

[Admiral Yi]

Uh, FUBAR?  Haven't seen it

How can you not have seen the one movie ever made that mentions your town?  What kind of homer are you?

[Camerus]

Shit, I'd like to meet up, but I'm in Quebec City and Toronto respectively on those days.

Beeb, I'm still up for a meet up in August or any time after that.

[Barrister]

For sure - we really should do that.

What part of the city are you in anyways?

[Camerus]

Southwest. I suspect I literally live about 10 minutes from you.

[Barrister]

Southwest. I suspect I literally live about 10 minutes from you.

Probably.

I'm in Twin Brooks personally.

You don't happen to work downtown do you?

[Camerus]

Yep, not too far from Canada Place.

[Josephus]

Take it inside

Hey, just like Toronto.   



Street Performers Festival sounds like fun; is there a day that works better for you?
