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.

I'm confirmed.
And as per the wiki, I'll bring some more goodies like menus (mid-2000s to current) and whatever cheap AC earbuds I can find/ have left. Probably some other AC knickknacks, trinkets, kitsch, and wallpaper.

I think I will also attend.
If I do not get thrown into jail for fighting my speeding ticket in court on the 5th ( I can be passionate when accused of a motor vehicle infraction when I am innocentish!)
I will come down to Canmore and visit a friend for lunch and then come into Calgary.
I will make sure its on Saturday Dec 8th!
I can bring a box of ten Air Canada Earbuds, some older versions etc to supplement yyznomad's.

Nice to see @rehoult sneak himself on to the list... Will you stay for the full Do this time?
I think the wiki was pretty honest on this. Although we could luck out and get a chinook.
