The first out-of-town Do attendee arrived (I believe) late last night! Looking forward to meeting nomadic.relief and painintheuk for a beer or 6 tonight to start the pre-pre-pre-Do activities! There may, or may not, be some practice of Barrett's Privateers!
I have told the AC Concierge that the Sunday "gathering" in the YHZ MLL will involve the singing of "Farewell to Nova Scotia"!

I can confirm, first out of towner has arrived (despite a mildly sketchy, though friendly, unmarked/unmetered cab ride into town last night).
Not sure karaoke was part of MY plan for the night, but looking forward to meeting up with some of the locals and painintheuk.

Cabs at the YHZ airport are under contract and typically do you have roof lights anymore. It is also a fixed rate from the airport to different parts of HRM.

I figured I would check the weather for this weakened and was pleasantly surprised.
Then I noticed that the Google had pulled up the weather for Halifax in the UK. Stupid Google.

Well, the Pre-pre-Do was great tonight! Only downside was a lack of donairs, but the beer was good, the cider was very good and the company was great!
Safe travels, even for those stuck in PY.
