Important Event Notes - FAQ
- Wait, isn't it winter in December in YYC?
Technically it's still fall until December 21st, so I can still call this a fall Do. But yes, it's likely to be winter conditions. It's YYC in December, after all
- Don't you know it's Christmas party season, you jerk? No way I can get away / I won't be able to get a babysitter / it's possible that Uber will have surge pricing later in the evening.
My Christmas party is the night before and I have no kids, so it works just fine for me
- Will I be able to enjoy a delectable menu with a flair for International cuisine, fine wines, and unequalled service?
No. There will be no hockey puck beef. The pastas won't all have spinach. There will be great booze. And the service will be good. And no Random capital Letters (outside of this Sentence).
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.
- There will likely be a deal on some Scotch tasting flights - details TBD.
- The Do host has not achieved Dorian's level of wealth and generosity. No T-shirts or other swag will be provided. Unless people want some AC pens, I have a bunch of those lying around. Or unless yyznomad shows up with some of his headphones and other goodies.

Sadly, I have to withdraw my confirmation.
Wife's Christmas party, which I get to miss because I now have to coach son #1's hockey game Saturday evening, along with recital for daughter Saturday aft. Oh and a day trip to BOS on Sunday to visit son #2 .....
Will have to share Glen Breton some other time....

And the Cow wouldn't have to brave the cold streets of YYC by himself.

Well I'm triple booking myself for the night, but Wife's company Christmas Party doesn't start until 1900 and its in the area. Count WR Cage and Mrs WR Cage onto the list. Will come a little early, might have to file a flight plan with a 17:30 arrival; Hopefully we don't get sent to Bovingdon and instead go direct to EGLL.
Sorry to hear that
Hope you can make it! My wife always likes it when other medical people are around too.

So, @yyznomad is going to bring some stuff, I'll bring some pens, but does anyone have use for amenity kits? I have a bunch of the bags lying around and will accumulate a few more in the next week. Would be great for them to go to use rather than get thrown out.

Quite old actually. But some years ago they ended up cancelling. When we moved from Oakland to Calgary in Jan. 1992, while I drove, the family including our cats flew from SFO to YYC on an AC, and I seem to recall they used a 727.
Good that they started again.
