Pre-Game Talk: 4th Annual CFHF Draft Party [Fri. June 22 - Schanks South]

[Jagr4President]

@Jagr4President does your vote mean you intend to attend?

I'll try, depends on my work schedule but if it's shanks north or south I'll be able to attend.

 

[Jagr4President]

I will say, I work for a beer company and I'm in the kitchens and around the food a lot but shanks south is cleaner and service is better.

 

[Lunatik]

6 weeks away

 

[Club]

I vote we go to II and Hox's frozen yogurt/ ice cream parlor

 

[Ace Rimmer]

If it’s not called frogurt then I’m not interested.

I'm sure they can work that into the name between all the other homoerotic things.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

The parlor is called Michelle’s, and it is awesome.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I need to point out that it is a Nightclub/Frozen Yogurt bar. We are serving a niche market of young, urban 20-something’s who live in new condo developments with no money and expensive tastes. We are also eco and dog friendly.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Were also working on a Backlund flavour for this month.

 

[King In The North]

Have fun boys! I will be drinking a couple of timezones away with you.

 

[CamPopplestone]

If I don't work and can come, I'm totally wearing my Spaceballs The Hockey Jersey

Go onto discord during the draft, I'm sure some of us will be checking it

I'm so intrigued now.

 

[Kahvi]

I’m thinking about doing something really stupid but also potentially really awesome. 22nd is the first day of my summer holiday

If it's fly to Calgary for the draft party, I say book a couple days off prior and it will be awesome

plus if you make that trip, it will make guys like @Anglesmith look bad for not coming out from Victoria or @Ferkland not coming from Ontario

Good guess
I was planning to make that trip later this year, but I wont have any holidays left.

I just need to do some budgeting for a week long visit to see if its possible

Flights seem reasonable. I just need to get my passport before I book them. 9 day trip probably
Suggestions for hotels are welcome, I've look at some prices at Trivago, but I don't know which part of the city is best. Somewher close to city center anyway?

It's not really near much but I will be staying at the Coast Plaza Hotel for 4 nights. As for more accessible locations, the area known as motel village is a good location if you take the train (I've stayed at the Hampton Inn there many times and it's good and has a hot breakfast included)

Thanks. How the public transportation in general? I mean moving around the city center, let's say 2-5-10km distances (instead of walking) if I go sightseeing or just wondering around? I know in Helsinki you can buy all-access bus/tram/metro card for weekend for something like 20€, is there anything similar?

They have daily passes for $10.50, as for how good it is, I'm not sure I'm one to speak on it, my city has garbage public transit so in comparison Calgary is a dream

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

@Kahvi , if you come, the entertainment is all on @InfinityIggy

I’m a very entertaining person, you’ll have a great time.

So like salted caramel?

Wait, no. That’d be Kylington.

@Kahvi you’ll likely need a car. Calgary is big and spread out and many things are well off the light rail transit.

Parking downtown is pricey. I’d recommend looking at hotels outside of downtown as a result. You can see downtown by taking the train in.
