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?)
  • 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.
  • Buchanan's does weekly tasting flights for a slightly reduced price. We'll have access to a few of these from recent weeks for anyone who's interested.
  • The Do host has not achieved Dorian's level of wealth and generosity. No T-shirts or other swag will be provided.
  • Reservation is under Adam Smith, but that shouldn't really be necessary. We will be taking up most of the main dining room, to the left after walking into the restaurant.

Agent 2 running the xray saw my surface, refused to clear it, kicked it back for secondary screening. Back to agent 1.
I had almost exactly the same issue (including the eye rolling) at YYZ Domestic recently with my iPad and BT keyboard. Pretty sad when two people on the same team don't understand the protocol of the day.

That was so worth the drive!

I'm really glad I made the trek down on Saturday to meet all you fine folk. The conversation with my table-mates davidyyc, folkart and YYC3722 with his +1 who just arrived from the Star MegaDo was fantastic and then being able to chat with a 9-year old Super Elite took the cake!

I also got to re-connect with SKYEG whom I hadn't seen in 5 years was a special bonus. Speaking of SKYEG...

With all the walking we did in search for libations after you left, it was for the best Luckily for us, the third bar was the charm, and we had a fun time as the 4 of us stayed a tiny bit past closing time at Beer Revolution.

Special thanks to Adam Smith for organizing this! Hopefully next time, I can have a couple more YEGers make the trip with me because what's more welcome in Calgary than an influx of people from the Capital city

Ironically, the beer menu at Beer Revolution was formatted like an arrivals/departures board. Fitting end to a great night.
