I added a notation in the wiki for those who expressed an interest in joining a Pre-Do dinner (location TBD). Feel free to edit as required.

The DO is the original dinner... some from other time zones prefer to eat something beforehand so that they are not completely famished by 8PM EST.

Well it's more that it now sounds like the do is starting earlier, and I want to attend the full function.

We won't start eating scotch before 20:00. Probably.

Yeah, *PST

I was thinking of my time zone and how hungry I would be.

I'm on AC221 on the 20th and returning to YYC on 226 the next day, if anyone else happens to be going the same way.

So, if I want a proper, petroleum-based straw, I'll have to bring it with me from Alberta?

I'm now on 8839, so I'll head to whatever hotel I book and work throughout the day, then join for the early dinner before the late dinner, since I like most of the east coasters like Adam.

Thanks for this.

I grew up thinking that the body of water in YYC was actually a river, but I guess it's the Atlantic Ocean. Who knew?

Kinda like False Creek I guess.

Funny, I observed most of the people jumping on early dinner were West Coasters ... weordos, but self proclaimed West Coasters.
