If you don’t have a cat or dog I don’t want to stay with you. I get sad missing my pets.
We should pick a firm date but my plans are really flexible so if someone else wants to pick that’s cool.

More specifically, I get into the airport at 2pm on the 21st and my flight leaves at 5pm on the 29th.  Because everyone else's plans should be made around me.  :)

I probably will- depends on which day the meetup happens as to the rides to/from airports and bus depots that would be required.  I'm happy to use city buses too but have no idea how good or bad those might be.  I have a ride first thing on the 22nd to Grandma's and a ride coming back to the airport for my flights assuming no party.

Unless they changed everything since I moved city buses from the airport are great. There are two routes and you get a nice (sort of) scenic relaxing ride.

You get dogs in snacky's airport shuttle.
Powerful forces are trying to help me find a way to do this event. I am not sure how, but I am still trying to find a way

Winnipeg, you say? :-D I'll just drive on over (or ask Transit Tom to give me a lift if alcohol is involved).

@tardis , just to be 100% sure, this is July right?

Any other out-of-towners planning to come? If so, pick some dates around when Tardis will be there. And I will try to overlap with everyone.

I think I will book my flight there soon, then I can decide later when I want to leave. Probably July 23.

Southwest, where I have points enough to fly free, doesn't fly there.  Looking into plan B.

I am/was thinking about aonth long driving (car, not RV) vacation in July centered on this party
  This week I started a part time job driving a shuttle van.  Trips are not falling into place for me, and the small amount of extra money makes me feel amazing gly good.  Bottom line e, I just don't know at this point.  I will go with everyone else's dates while I keep penciling in my summer trips.

I have booked my flight to Wininpeg for July 24 - 10pm. I have no other plans made at all. It's too confusing. And it's easy enough for me to wing-it in a city I know so well. I will probably pick up a rental car at the airport, as I want to have a car for sure.

I have from the Friday to Sunday 20-22 off of work. But funds for summer vacations are running low. And it would be awful and unmustachy to borrow from my fall vacation fund.

Travel hack by applying for a new credit card?  If you go then you can give hugs to people for me (who have given consent and with your consent).  Also, dog snuggles.

Hi, gang!

I only discovered this wonderful community last week.  In the last three days I have spent more time on my bicycle than in the previous five years, listed my surplus second vehicle for sale, ditched some non-mustachian investments, and stopped drinking beer.  Okay, maybe not that last one, but I am all in.  It would be fun to meet some real-life practitioners of badassity.  Please let me know when the party is.

Confirming that I will be in town afternoon July 21st/22nd/23rd to afternoon.  This is based on my Dad and his transportation so I unfortunately can't adjust to cross paths with you KMMK.  :(

@Trinitysmom you should know about this.

Do folks want to do something together when Tardis is here then again when KMMK is here? I can host a potluck (or two) if that appeals to people.

If there's interest, I can take a group canoeing on the afternoon of Sunday the 22nd when tardis is in town.

I'd be interested.

I'm not well enough to go paddling, but would love to join in post- canoe lemonade or ice cream.

You sit in the middle and regale the actual paddlers with your charm and wit.

This sounds like an excellent idea.  Jessa got to be a passenger when she was at CMC and very pregnant so there is precedent.

You could even recline on a paddleboard while we tow you. There need be nothing particularly athletic about our paddle, so an entertaining passenger is always welcome!

But ice cream is also a good idea. The place should be fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon, so we can loiter with ice cream after our paddle. Is 1pm for paddling, and 3 for ice cream good for people? The address is 80 Churchill Drive, the Manitoba Canoe and Kayak Centre.

That is right by Chaeban Ice Cream http://chaebanicecream.com/ run by Syrian refugees. They have the best ice cream I have ever eaten.

The first time you talked about this place, I looked for Syrian ice cream in Toronto.  Nada.  I am super jealous, all of you snacky-party people.

Almost time!
I am spoken for on July 26 for supper, but am otherwise free. I have started planning my eating: Sushi Burrito, Syrian ice cream, gluten free pancakes/waffles or both (oddly not something I've found in Edmonton at a restaurant).

If you are going canoeing or other things while I'm not there, my friend who writes at http://www.freetopursue.com/ is interested in attending events. You can contact her through her website. (Not sure how much anonymity she wants.) Or I can do so, if I'm watching this thread enough. Tell her that Meena said to contact her.
