Calgary Fall AC FT Do
Location: Buchanan's (738 3rd Avenue SW) - outside on the patio, weather and group size permitting - it's a nice day here in YYC, but it is fall, so it's not super-warm and will get cooler as the evening goes on. For Calgarians, that's still good patio weather, so unless there's a strong feeling in the group that we should be inside, we'll be on the patio. A light jacket or sweatshirt might come in handy.
Date: Saturday, September 24th
Boarding Time: 18:00 - feel free to show up earlier, but the host won't guarantee his own arrival before 6PM due to an earlier engagement
Reservation is under Adam Smith.
Current Availability
J9 C9 D9 Z9 P0 R2 I0 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 G9 S0 T0 L0 A0 K0 X0
Availability is wide open, but Tango and P fares are not available on this route.

Important Event Notes
- Promo codes are not applicable to this event. Upgrades and AE redemptions are blocked by revenue management - you get what you pay for.
- No hockey puck beef will be served! If it is, send it back! (Unless that's actually what you like, you weirdo?)
- This is an AC codeshare. Spend will count towards your 2016 AQD totals, provided you ticket it on 014 stock.
- The Do website will be down for regularly scheduled maintenance. Often. But we won't bother to tell you in advance.
Important Event Notes (real ones this time!)
- The burger and Scotch theme is purely optional. Those are the specialties of the restaurant, but you're free to have a salad and a diet Coke, fish and white wine or whatever floats your boat.
- I'm working on some type of deal with the restaurant to get us a bit of a deal on something, e.g. a cheap Scotch tasting flight or a discount on the burgers. Will provide details as available; please post in the thread if you have preferences. Buchanan's offers a discounted Scotch tasting flight on Wednesdays and they'll be offering that deal to us tonight as well. Typically samples of three different whiskys at about a 25% discount to list price; we should have two different flights available.
- No T-shirts, but I will definitely provide name tags this time Name tags have been purchased and are in my car, along with a couple of Sharpies.

So I wasn't sure, but it looks like a no. While I would love to be there, I haven't seen my better half in a week and she's around tomorrow. And sorry, I love you all very much but it goes GF > FT > rest of my social life.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. A few small updates in red in the wiki. For those reading FT on mobile without wiki:
This wouldn't be the first time Nitehawk got the date of a Do wrong, nor would he be the first guy to get the date of this Do wrong
- It's a nice day here in YYC, but it is fall, so it's not super-warm and will get cooler as the evening goes on. For Calgarians, that's still good patio weather, so unless there's a strong feeling in the group that we should be inside, we'll be on the patio. A light jacket or sweatshirt might come in handy.

- Re food or beverage deal: Buchanan's offers a discounted Scotch tasting flight on Wednesdays and they'll be offering that deal to us tonight as well. Typically samples of three different whiskys at about a 25% discount to list price; we should have two different flights available.

Thanks to all for coming out, it was a nice evening, and a special thanks to those who came from outside YYC for making the trek.
