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.

OK in town now, accidents on Deerfoot simply brings back memories of living here. So much slow traffic and photo radar at the regular fishing holes, lol.
Will show up a bit early as I slowly make my way around town.

Have a great evening folks, which seems like an oxymoron.

Well I am here, alone. We have the corner two tables. There will be three groups here tonight.
Parking was fifty cents, very reasonable.
So I am the first customer here!

I think I can almost see the restaurant (or at least the street) from my room at the Westin,
Not very many people downtown at night - kinda different.

Thank you for organizing and hosting this awesome Do.
Absolutely great to see many familiar faces and a few new ones.

A big thanks to Adam for arranging this! And thanks to @BlondeBomber for that first round of drinks.
Great people, interesting chats and excellent libations - a great way to enjoy a cold Calgary night.
Looking forward to next year!
