Interest in a WS forum Do in YYC?
On many forums, members organize periodic Dos to get together and kvetch about the airline in question, and occasionally talk about other stuff.
Since I find myself flying WS more often these days and hanging out more in the WS forum, I'm curious whether there would be interest in an in-person get-together. I can't really find any evidence of WS-themed gatherings in the past; while "Do" is too short a string for FT's search string, and a thread may exist without the terms I did try to search (e.g. "gathering", "get-together"), this might be the first one.
For a number of years, I've organized a similar event primarily aimed at those in the AC forum, usually involving drinking burgers and Scotch at Buchanan's (last year's thread).
If there are a few people who might be interested in doing something like that - casually getting together for drinks and a bite to eat - I'd be happy to try to throw something together so that a few of us could meet in person as opposed to just seeing each other across a keyboard.

Can't see why anyone would extend anything but a warm welcome were you to join a get together. 
Colour me interested provided there's a decent amount of lead time to allow me to flex my schedule and make the drive south from YEG.

My last Do was in university around 2002 and it was obviously an AC do. I then started with WS in Oct 2002. Been there ever since. Would be really cool to join at the first ever WS do. I might be able to source some official WS swag from the powers that be at HQ!
