Any interest in an Edmonton area meet and greet in the near future?
When I first started on the forum, I remember the Edmonton area guys used to get together. I never knew people enough back then to go.
I see Ken scheduled a lunch on short notice today.
I propose an Edmonton and area get together at Original Joes next Tuesday evening at 7 pm. That should give guys time to get home and shower after work. Wings are good and on Tuesdays they are half price in the lounge.

If you would like to come, please do. Though we can all be a little testy on the forum, and cross over into straight up ignorance sometimes, I have never met an AOer in person that I didn’t think was a good dude. So if you are new… come. Even if I infracted the hell out of you or gave you a six month break… come.
So far we have commitments from Dean2, EZM, and KGB. I just haven’t told them yet  . I will also twist Elk11’s wrist to make the drive from Camrose.
One of the fun things about meeting guys from AO in person is seeing if they are even close to what you were expecting.
So, if you can come. Chime in on this thread, and I will organize the details.
Hope you came make it!

With enough notice, I may be be to attend
As far as being close in real life as I am on AO, a person may be underwhelmed but not surprised

I am going to meet Ken and the Boys for lunch today because I am in town, but unfortunately I can't make it this coming Tuesday. Hopefully next time round.

I’m in SNS. That’s my neighborhood joes too.
I was thinking of starting an identical thread because I was missing Ken’s lunch too. And POOF, there it is. 😀

Sounds like a fun night out. I’d like to attend. Pretty sure I’ve got Red Bullets talked into coming down as well.

out of town, but sounds like a good idea. Hopefully it becomes more of a regular event.

First, you might be very surprised when you see me in person- 25, blond, long legs and D size up front…. with low morals…. 
Guys, I would love to come but I am at work on tuesday till 9pm… Even if I shut down 15-20 min earlier- I might get there by 9…
On a same note - I’m off Wednesday and Thursday next week.

Well, I’m pretty busy Tuesday but I suppose picking the In-laws up from the airport can wait a few hours…

Did you ever pick up that .338 Federal ammo from sns2? If not....perfect opportunity! Wings, beer, and ammo!

Not yet TC. Been busy since moving in. My wife has a “list” of things for me to do but while picking the ammo up is ranked important it’s down the list on urgent. Go figure…lol.
I’m going to try and make it but it’s a bit too far out at this point to say I’ll be there for sure.

Imagine the in-person conversation following the same pattern as the forum; several positive comments that remain on topic followed by a total segue or derailment through and insult or threat.

Make the wing night thread great again.
Met lots of good forum members at a few wing nights, both the Calgary and Edmonton ones.
Once a month would be good!

Laughed out loud. Well done!
P. S. You city folk with fancy joints and get-togethers… Drive over to the boonies. And bring that tall Russian blonde undercover agent with you.
P. P. S. The last good wings I had were the ones I made myself. Womp womp.

I should be good to go as long as I can get a new front end installed on my rig on Monday night to make my alignment appointment on Wednesday.
I have to drop it off in the west end anyways at Hurst Auto so that should workout well.
Good thing you chose a weeknight SNS or that could of got ugly

Count me in. Might not be a member who you were hoping to show....but you’re not a sheriff on here anymore.....so I’m your huckleberry.
If I can get my son, who is a member but doesn’t post on threads because of avoiding some of political trolls, but does loves a good beers & wings night, to come as well, that might be two attending.

Who cares if I gave you sht. Gave some of my best buddies sht too. Part of the gig. Didn’t you read my post? LOL. See ya Tuesday. We’ll chew the fat, and if someone gets pizzed, and stumbles to the can, maybe we even take a few licks of their wings, and put em back on the plate. It will be like a bonding time . We will be united as brothers in infamy I say!
