Post by: Prairie Moustache on March 28, 2018, 09:38:18 PM
Hey Saskatoon and area Mustachians,

From a quick search it looks like there was a meetup a few years ago. Anyone in the area interested in getting together again? Would be lovely to meet some like minded people!

Cheers

No Saskatoon/Saskatchewan Mustachians on here?!

Post by: Prairie Stash on April 12, 2018, 03:56:48 PM
Theres a few of us, I'd be in for a meetup.

Apparently some of us think the same.

How does May 17th sound?
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Stash on April 26, 2018, 10:03:17 AM
I'll check with my wife if May 17 works for her as well, she would probably like to be there.

Hopefully theres a couple more lurkers, over the years I've seen a couple more local folk on here.

Sounds good! My hope is by bumping this thread and keeping it going we'll find a few more folks.

I would love to join the Saskatoon meetup on May 17th!

Post by: Prairie Moustache on May 15, 2018, 11:51:35 PM
Hey Everyone,

I wasn't sure if we had interest for the 17th so I made May Long plans! Darn.

Does the 24th work for everyone? Does anyone have a meeting place suggestion? My go to would just be the Broadway Roastery but I'd game for something more interesting!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Stash on May 16, 2018, 11:39:54 AM
It slipped my mind as well and I made an appointment for tomorrow, that might end up taking most of the day. I'm on holidays in town next week, the 24th is fine. A big part of this forum is lifestyle, long weekends are meant to be enjoyed.

@ginfal, welcome to the forums.

@Prairie Moustache, its been a long time since I visited the Broadway roastery (on Broadway I presume, not 8th), it's not part of my usual routine. Its a pretty great location for acessibilty, I hope its as good as I remember for coffee.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: ginfal on May 17, 2018, 01:18:09 PM
Thanks! Hello everyone.

The 24th location works for me.  Just depends on the timing... I'm one of those side-hustle people and have odd jobs throughout the day with space in between. 

Looking forward to it

Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on May 23, 2018, 10:21:29 PM
I would be able to make it there for 5:30 if that works, that's the earliest I can be there after work unfortunately! I should be good for an hour and a half of conversation but have a volunteering commitment that popped up at 7:30!

I can post in here what I'm wearing tomorrow to make it slightly easier to find each other!

Post by: Prairie Stash on May 24, 2018, 03:44:48 PM
5:30 sounds good. See you in a bit
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Thanks for coming out yesterday @Prairie Stash, was good to get to know a fellow mustachian in this city! We discussed meeting up again in the future, and potentially doing a picnic/BBQ at a public park but feel free to put your own ideas out there as well.

I'd be interested in meetups that involve learning new skills, gardening, small projects, etc. so feel free to throw some ideas out there!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Stashasaurus on May 25, 2018, 10:18:07 AM
Hey guys. There has been a coffee meetup or two down here in Regina. If you end up planning something on a weekend, I would not mind coming up.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on May 29, 2018, 11:06:54 PM
Hi @Stashasaurus! Sounds good. Likewise, keep us in the loop if anything pops up in Regina.

Post by: Prairie Moustache on July 23, 2018, 08:55:25 AM
Thought I'd mention in here that it looks like MMM's singer/songwriter brother who he occasionally mentions in his blog is passing through town on August 15th, playing at the Black Cat Tavern. Would be nice to see some Mustachian support out for some live music in our city!

Hey folks, now that fall is in full swing and everyone is back from summer trips etc. I figured it might be nice to try and organize a meetup. What do people think of meeting up at the Farmer's Market next Saturday morning (Oct. 20th) around 10:00 AM?

Let me know what you think!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on October 19, 2018, 09:20:54 AM
Better luck next time maybe!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 13, 2018, 06:28:13 PM
Oh man!!

How did I miss this.
I didn't realize there were a few others from stoon on here.

I'd love to meet up this fall sometime if people are game?

@Saskatchewstachian is from town as well I believe. :)
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Saskatchewstachian on November 14, 2018, 10:23:54 AM
Definitely am in Saskatoon however I spend my weeks out at a mine site so am only around on weekends lately.

Unfortunately that means 7 days worth of chores, errands, prep cooking for DW, etc  to be done in 2 days off. Hoping to get back to Saskatoon shortly through work so will have more time freed up!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on November 14, 2018, 09:11:47 PM
Nice to hear from you @sieben ! Do you have any ideas for meetups? It would be cool to get something somewhat regular going in town since I find meeting like minded people here difficult at times, especially at work!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 20, 2018, 06:21:30 PM
Hey Prairie Moustache!

I'd be up for getting a more regular thing going, get up to some frugal fun. Snowshoeing anyone? ;)
We may need to see how many folks are going to see this and are available first though.
Sounds like Saskatchewstachian isn't really around town right now, I'm hit and miss on weekends but I'm in town during the week.
Anyone else here? :)
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on November 21, 2018, 08:29:28 AM
I'm around town most of the time in the evenings and most evenings! Snow shoeing sounds great to me, we might have to wait for a good dump though with these moderate temps! I'll have to borrow some snowshoes from my brother, but he has a few pairs because he's a Special Olympics pro athlete so it shouldn't be a problem. If we keep the conversation going we might catch a few more folks!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 22, 2018, 05:57:30 PM
Sounds good!
My snowshoes are up at the cabin right now anyway, and I won't be back up there for awhile.
I don't really have my heart set on it, just trying to think of some frugal activities.
I'd be game for just trying to get some folks together for coffee or beer somewhere as well if we can rustle up some interest.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on November 26, 2018, 06:46:32 PM
How does either this Wednesday at 7:30 work at the Broadway Roastery (on Broadway) or next Tuesday (Dec. 3) same time same place? I'd be down for a beer too and would welcome suggestions! I'm in close proximity to the Broadway area so anywhere around there/downtown would be nifty for me.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 26, 2018, 07:05:49 PM
Sure, Wednesday at the Roastery works for me, that's walking distance from my house so it's my usual go to.

As for beer, pretty much everything around Broadway is kind of expensive.
I haven't bought a beer anywhere in close to a year, but I would normally go to Fin's at the foot of the University Bridge. It was usually quiet and had free popcorn :)
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on November 27, 2018, 10:13:01 AM
Sounds good! I'll meet you there. Good call on the beer, it's bloody expensive - I'm slowly convincing most of my friends that it's better to imbibe at home, with alcohol you've brewed yourself for a little over a dollar a litre... I'll most likely be wearing a blue patagonia jacket, in order to pick me out of the crowd.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Stash on November 27, 2018, 10:29:06 AM
don't forget the secret mustache signal ;)

I can't make this wednesday, I'm just delighted to see there is at least 4 mustachians in Saskatoon.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 27, 2018, 07:55:50 PM
You bet, at this point in my life I'd rather drink a beer out by the fire or sitting on my deck ;)
According to Prairie Stash's journal he brews his own too, maybe we'll have to have a taste off or something someday? ;)

I'm sure there are more of us around, the whole city is full of Mennonites after all :p
Sorry we'll miss you Prairie Stash, hopefully next time!

I'll be the grumpy looking bald guy with a beard wearing a red/white jacket.
See you tomorrow!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on November 29, 2018, 10:36:16 AM
Hey @sieben good to meet you last night! Had a question bouncing around in my head that I should ask before I forget - what was the name of that blog you mentioned by the guy out of Lloyd?
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Saskatchewstachian on November 29, 2018, 01:51:36 PM
Too bad that I missed the get together but I've been following the thread. Good to know there are others around!

Also good to know there are other brewers around. I am an absolute novice (as in completed two batches ever) of cider but love the process. Paddockwood in Sutherland has great supplies for cider and with cheap apple juice it can come out to ~90cents/L. After a few more batches to solidify the recipe I'll be sure to bring some to a future get together.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on November 29, 2018, 05:31:05 PM
Nice meeting you!
Hopefully we can get a few more people together once in awhile going forward.

The blog was http://financialuproar.com/ he's got a lot of opinions, some seem pretty dubious but for the most part his writing is kind of fun and there is some really great content on there if you dig around.

Oh man, I've never made any alcohol myself, you guys might inspire me here though. I pick a lot of berries during the summer up at my cabin and I loved the idea of doing something a bit more exciting with them ;)

Hope to see you around next time Saskatchewastachian!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on December 03, 2018, 09:40:28 PM
Thanks for the link! As with most of us, I can always use more opinions in my life. Haha.

Perhaps we'll have to incorporate some of those berries into a cider! I'm still rather self conscious of my alcohol productions so I may need to refine my recipe before I share it with good mustachian folks!

Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on December 13, 2018, 07:08:35 PM
Hi Saskatoon folks! I have a few proposals for future meetups. I've been doing a lot of cross country skiing as of late, and it would be nice to make it slightly more social, as it is a pretty solitary activity (which is good sometimes)!

Meetup idea: Cross country skiing on a Saturday/Sunday morning and then coffee/tea at Mystic Java

Second idea: Well I've met two mustachians in the city, and they both didn't seem like serial killers so I'll offer up my apartment for a potluck in late January (thinking the 19th or 26th). If anyone has a better venue we could consider that too!

Happy holidays everyone!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on December 20, 2018, 07:17:02 PM
I'd be up for skiing some weekend that I'm around town!
I just got back into it this year, so I may not exactly know what I'm doing :)

Potluck sounds like it could be fun too, I'll be out of the country on the 26th but the 19th should work for me if we can rustle up some interest.

Thanks for putting some thought into this,
Happy Holidays!

Post by: seanc0x0 on January 10, 2019, 07:22:51 PM
Just got tipped off as to this thread. Thanks sieben!

I'm in S'toon and I'd definitely be interested in a meetup sometime.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on January 10, 2019, 08:18:47 PM
Welcome! Great to hear from another mustachian in these parts!

The conditions for a ski haven't been great lately so I've been holding off on trying to organize a x country ski meetup. I biked over to Kinsmen park on Tuesday to do a few laps and the snow conditions were pretty brutal with all the wind we've had lately.

The potluck idea is still on the table if we get more interest, but I'd be up to do a another coffee meetup to get to know a few more local mustachians before I offer up my humble abode, haha. Would Jan 18th at the Broadway Roastery (on Broadway) work for anyone? Say like 7 ish?
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on January 13, 2019, 08:01:05 PM
Hey seanc0x0,
Glad to hear your a local!

Sounds like there are quite a few of us considering the size of Saskatoon. :)

The 18th would work for me, hopefully they're open later on a Friday then they were the last time we were there.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on January 14, 2019, 06:22:49 AM
Good call sieben, they close at 8 every day now it appears! Why don't we shoot for 6:30 then as a bit of a buffer? I checked the weather and the forecast for Friday doesn't look quite as conducive to a brisk walk as last time - low of -28 C.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: seanc0x0 on January 15, 2019, 11:58:07 AM
I probably won't be able to make that due to the timing, but definitely interested in other stuff that might come up. 
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on January 15, 2019, 02:11:06 PM
Is there a day this weekend that would work better for you? Would be good to find a time so that another could join us!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on January 17, 2019, 04:43:51 PM
@Prairie Moustache should we try again another time when we can round up a bit of a bigger crew?
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on January 17, 2019, 11:13:39 PM
Yeah, that sounds good to me! T'was looking forward to it but I'm only interesting for so long. :P

I hope people aren't hibernating because of the weather in our parts, rather unmustachian! ;) Although being cooped up in the winter definitely causes me to spend less money...

Oh man, I love being outside this time of year, everything is so crisp :)

I'm still game for doing something this weekend if you'd like, just wanted to give you the option since we don't seem to be able to rustle up much of a crew just yet. We'll keep working at it! :)

Post by: Prairie Moustache on January 19, 2019, 10:37:25 AM
I'll be heading to the Farmer's Market tomorrow morning around 10 for coffee and to work on my portfolio allocation a bit - I received a bunch of giftcards for Christmas so if you wanna stop by @sieben , I'll buy ya a coffee!

I'm sure we'll rustle up a few more folks eventually!

On the saturday I'm being a middle aged man; having a party for my soon to be 6 year old AND attending a baby shower...On the Sunday I'm probably getting hearing aids.

Can I live vicariously through you? Just tell me you did something amazing, it makes me feel better hearing other peoples cool plans.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: seanc0x0 on February 13, 2019, 08:09:57 AM
I should be around that weekend. Unless something comes up with the kids. :)

Post by: Prairie Moustache on February 13, 2019, 11:52:13 AM
Excellent, looks like we will have the biggest turnout yet! Any ideas? I'm trying to think of a coffee shop we could head to that allows for playing board games. There's always King Me. Weather depending, I would be up for a winter hike somewhere, Beaver Creek, etc. If it warms up a little I'm definitely itching to get some extended fresh air.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on February 19, 2019, 04:13:54 PM
I'm game for whatever, something outside could be fun if the weather is decent. Coffee or something might be easier to chat though? Doesn't matter to me, looks like I've got something up at 5pm both Sat. and Sun. though.

Post by: oneyearfromnow on February 21, 2019, 04:55:44 PM
Hello Saskatoonians!

I know it is well in advance notice - we will be in Saskatoon between May 3-7th.   Downtown.  I wouldn't mind meeting up with the group at a pub by 25th & Spadina?  Say Finn's?  I know it probably isn't the coolest place - but it is walking distance.   Afternoons best.

Let me know if possible!

I will be there May 3rd-7th.   I believe the FIL has us booked one night at the Persephone.  Afternoon always better.  I am looking forward to meeting you all.

The only thing that would stop me from being there would be a dramatic change in my Father’s health.  He has some delicate surgery scheduled for Apr 26.  Fingers crossed.

I would really enjoy seeing you all again, but there are no immediate plans to return to S’toon.

However, If you are ever in my area, I would be happy to create a MMM gathering for you.

Happy Summer!

Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Stash on July 23, 2019, 02:41:00 PM
wow, I need to get on the forum more often.

A wiener roast sounds great. I have an over sized pile of fire wood and no fire pit...I pulled out the cement one (little kid safety hazard) and never got around to replacing it. Any particular date or should I pick one?
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Moustache on July 23, 2019, 08:26:54 PM
No worries, Prairie Stash! I think you probably go on the forums as much as you want/need to. I have a fire pit in the back yard of my apartment that would be suitable, or I'm thinking Gabriel Dumont park? If you could bring a bit of your over-sized pile to burn that would be awesome. Feel free to propose some dates. Here's my availability:

July 24th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 31st or Aug 2nd. After that I'm on a canoe trip from the 3rd to the 8th but we could look after the dates I listed too. I know days between Monday - Thursday work best for @sieben as the bugger heads up to his cabin almost every weekend! (I reckon it's mostly to escape awkward invites from me on weekends coaxing him to drink the sketchy cider we brewed together, which I will add is slightly better carbonated).

And @oneyearfromnow you'll be seeing me later in August so that works great! Looking forward to meeting some Ottawa MMMer's if it works out.
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: sieben on July 25, 2019, 10:07:32 PM
I'll try to remember to bring some wood back from the lake this weekend ;)

Haha, there isn't anything wrong with the cider.... well, or at least it's good enough to get you buzzed anyway!
Title: Re: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Post by: Prairie Stash on July 26, 2019, 10:46:01 AM
Alright @sieben, is there a day that works next week for you? You working people tend to have more rigid schedules ;) That said I should hit 30 hours of contract work this week, its been relatively busy.

I want to bring my wife and kids along, Gabriel Dumont might work better so that I can tell the kids to run around.  My wife is very curious to meet some of the people I talk about, she's quite supportive of all of this. She also comes at it from the not caring about money but naturally frugal perspective. We work very well together, she's my complement in a lot of ways.

And @oneyearfromnow you'll be seeing me later in August so that works great! Looking forward to meeting some Ottawa MMMer's if it works out.

We are looking forward to it!  It should be no problem to have a wee gathering while you are here.  Just need the times when you are not already booked with your other obligations so I can befin to round up the troops.

Your park meetup sounds like fun!  Maybe I can get my FIL to join your group.  I know he thought it was fun meeting you both.

I've received confirmation from @sieben that Wednesday should work for him, so why don't we say about 6 PM down at Gabriel Dumont Park at this fire pit:

I'm thinking we can keep it pretty basic:
Hot dogs - Prairie Moustache
Buns -
Veggies/or a salad -
??

If someone could bring wood, and I can grab some wiener sticks that would be awesome.

I’m in + my wife + 2 little kids.

We’ll bring stuff for the kids so no concern with them. For the adults a  pasta salad and probably some other stuff. We’re trading ideas right now, I’m sure it’ll go well.

Thanks for coming out! It was great to meet Mrs. Prairie Stash and the kids. The pie was definitely a highlight!!

It was a great idea, terrific location.

Mrs. Stash was very happy to meet everyone. She agreed with me afterwards that however strange it sounds to meet brand new people from a forum she never reads, it's quite fun. It's definitely out of our normal comfort zone and we're very glad we came out.

Thank you again for the fantastic suggestion.

I'm glad you both decided to take the chance on meeting up with a couple strangers off the internet!
It was great meeting you and the family, it's really nice knowing someone who's a bit further along then us in this whole FIRE thing in the area!

Hope to see you all again!

How's it going Saskatoon Mustachians? Who wants to go for coffee Tuesday November 5th?

I'd be game and I've got at least one other person interested in joining us!

Holy cow, time flies, as per usual. Anyone up for a meetup soon?

Also! There has to be a few lurkers out there given that we've only ever really had max 4 people interested and have 12,000 thread views. We're not that scary - just prairie people that need a reason to get out of the house when it's -30!

I can confirm!  Perfectly normal people!

BTW: we are thinking about coming to S’toon in May.  Perhaps we can organize something when we have more firm plans.

Any chance you’ll be coming our way?

That sounds good to me! I should be around, unless things drastically change. No plans to come your way in the foreseeable future, but you never know! I'll keep you in the loop.

Just putting this into the ether - @sieben and myself are possibly heading out to Eb's Trails http://www.saskatoonnordicski.ca/trails (http://www.saskatoonnordicski.ca/trails) this Sunday Feb 9th. Anyone is welcome to join for some skiing! Time to follow.

Any new Saskatonian Mustachians out there?! I would be down for a lawn chair park hangout to round out summer.

Still here, but a little south of you. I would be up for a meetup as the summer ends

Cool perhaps we could meet up for a wiener roast/campfire somewhere in-between? Do you have any go-to spots? Somewhere like Douglas Provincial Park or Blackstrap perhaps? I'm thinking in a few weeks, as in after the long weekend. Hopefully the weather holds until then.

I have not stopped to much in between our two cities. Douglas looks like it could be interesting. In a couple of weeks would be good, a fall campfire sounds even better. Tentative the 19th? My wife is about to start up the new school year, so a bit of time to see how it works out would be good.
