Any one interested in meeting up before the weather goes south?
Would be nice to chat with people who aren't burning oil money like it's going out of style.
-
Hi,
I am from Edmonton too!
-
There's at least 3 of us!
-
I think there're about 7-10 edmontonians on this forum who posted at least once, much more readers, I guess.
-
I'm in Edmonton. Would love a meetup sometime.
-
I'm in Edmonton!
-
I'm in Edmonton too. Let's make this happen :) There is some calgarians looking to do a meetup too. Maybe a half way point? Can discuss the challenges of having a moustache in this spendy province.
-
I am also in Edmonton and it would be fun to meetup.
-
Also located in Edmonton right now. Would definitely be into coming to a meetup.
-
Posting to follow as I'm in Edmonton occasionally and there's a slight chance of moving back there.
-
I'm in Edmonton as well.

I'm not in Edmonton, but go there often. Following

Hey, anyone ever had a meetup in Edmonton yet? I looked at the mustache map, and there seems to be a handful of us here, but the Edmonton meetup threads are all old posts
-
I will be moving back there in two weeks and am interested in a meet up.
-
I'm still interested in a meetup if the timing works for me.
-
Cool! What about sometime during the week of August 8? Usually I'd suggest a coffee shop or pub, but a library or park could also work if people don't want to buy a drink.

Works for me. I have zero firm plans at this time- will still be in vacation mode then. I'll be living in Millwoods, but will have access to a car so which park doesn't really matter. It's been a very long time since I've been to parks there so should have a very clear meeting point. Though presumably everyone has a cell so we could exchange numbers. I'd rather not a pub or any really loud place but doesn't matter that much to me. Will be weather dependent.

Works for me too. I like the park idea assuming the weather is nice.

Park it is! I'm mostly familiar with Hawrelak and Kinsmen. Would either of those work?

Both of those would work for me.
-
I think I'd prefer Hawrelak. Is that the one with the big stage and is it still there? We could meet there unless there is another obvious location someone who was been there within 15 years wants to suggest. =)
Backup location in case of weather? I'm fine with coffee shops.
-
I too am from Edmonton!
-
Mattzlaff: You should join us for our meetup.
Okay, let's meet at Hawrelak Park. I'm not sure if there is a big stage because I haven't been there in a long time. What day and time should we meet? I work 9-5 during weekdays so I won't be able to meet during those times.
-
Looks like it, I actually haven't been to that part of the park, but its listed on the city website with a map. http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/heritage-amphitheatre.aspx
I also work 9-5ish, maybe 7pm on a weekday or a Saturday during the day?
-
I would be fine with either of those options.
-
Are we still on to meetup sometime next week? What day works best for everyone? I think a weekday at around 6:30 works best for me.
-
I'm free at that time any weekday except for next Friday.
And I'd prefer Hawerlak (sp) if I didn't say that already.
-
Can anyone who is interested in meeting up please post here now so we can send them our information.
-
I'm still interested! Would Wednesday/Thursday this week work then?
-

Wednesday would work for me. I'm busy on Thursday.
-
Alright, Wednesday, 6:30 pm, Hawrelak park, meet at the stage!
Also, since it might be raining, the Good earth coffeehouse is in that area, would that be a decent backup location for everyone?

Just joined the forum today and this is my first post! Can I still come? :)
I've never been to the stage in the park. I'm assuming it's pretty obvious?

Yes, of course. I'm not 100% sure I will make it myself (not feeling well) but the more the merrier.
The stage I'm referring to:

I'll be wearing a blue hoodie and jeans.

Never mind it's too warm for a hoodie. I'll be wearing a black t-shirt with a picture of a diamond on the front.
-
I'll be wearing a green jacket and black pants, and I have glasses
-
Unfortunately I'm not going to make it tonight. I'll have to try for a future meetup.

Hey, we are by the amphitheatre sign threadcookie
-
It was cool meeting you tldr. Hopefully more people show up to our next meetup.
-
I live in Calgary :)
I skipped a Calgary meetup because I was too nervous. I regret that. I'm making an effort to keep an eye on future meet ups near my area :)
-
Thanks! It was great meeting you too lostamonkey. You should definitely join us if you can lifejoy! Next time we can plan snacks or something! ;)

I'm hoping to make a Calgary meet-up eventually.
-
I'm sorry I couldn't make it guys! Something came up and it's now two weeks later ugg... I'll try harder next time :(
-
I'm in Edmonton and would be interested in a meet-up if another one gets planned. New to using the forum and hoping if I post here I'll get notified if others do. :)
-
Cool!
Let's do it. I unfortunately was quite sick and had to miss the last one. But I've been wanting to try again.
Do you prefer a weekday evening or weekend? Currently I am busy this and next Saturday evening but free otherwise.
I'm in the Millwoods area but have a car so can get wherever. What area works for you?
-
I would also be in for another meetup. I'm busy most Friday and weekend evenings. I'm free any weekday evening (excluding Friday) or any weekend before 3:00pm.
-
Weeknights are generally good for me (but I'm away most of next week). Thanks for replying - I'll see future replies sooner now that I've enabled the notifier (duh!). :)
I'm good with south Edmonton (I unmustachianly commute to Leduc) or west.

Would Tuesday December 6th at around 6:00pm somewhere in the south side work for both of you?

That works for me. I will put it in my calendar as tentative for now.

Yep, me too.
-
Where should we meet? Last meetup was at a park but I think it's too cold to do that now. We could meet at a bar, a coffee shop, or a restaurant.

Coffee shop is my preference. Likely the easiest to talk. I haven't lived here long enough to have a preferred one.

There's a Second Cup in South Common (9832 - 22 Ave.). Shall we do that?

Yep, that's great. I look forward to meeting you two (and anyone else who wants to join obviously).
-
I just want to confirm that you both are still in for Tuesday? And if anyone else wants to join they are more than welcome.

Yes, I'm still in! Looking forward to meeting both of you, as well as anyone else who shows up. I'll be wearing a rainbow-striped scarf.
-
Yep, me too. I'm an almost 40 white lady with greyish, curlyish shoulder length hair. I had no idea about clothes before (and mostly wear neutral colours) but given the weather change I'll likely have a black coat and purple scarf.
-
I am a guy in my mid twenties. I'm coming straight from work so I'll be wearing dress pants, a blue sweater and a black coat.
-
I can't find this place! I'll look for 5 more minutes before I give up.
-
It was nice meeting the both of you tonight.

Thanks. You, too. It was worth leaving the house and braving the weather and roads. Definitely need reasons to go out in the winter.

Hey! It was nice meeting the two of you as well. Somehow these comments escaped my notice until months later. Sorry about that *red face*! :)

Greetings new people!
Let me know if you want another meet-up. I'm pretty busy with groups I'm already in, so not likely to organize stuff here but I may attend.
If you're on Meetup.com you might be interested in my Meetup group "Let's Talk About Money". My next meeting is May 2.

Is your Meetup for profit or social?

A bit of both. It`s very light marketing. I have a topic in mind, and some discussion questions prepared, but people are welcome to talk about whatever they want. I try to make sure the attendees get to talk at least as much as I do, if not more. I don't charge for the Meetups at all. (Currently losing money on it.)
But I do have the financial planning and insurance business, so it's a way for people to get to know me and consider whether they need my services.
I haven't had much interest lately, though. Maybe it's because it's the summer. I'll keep it going for 6 more months, then shut it down if I'm still not getting enough interest.

Thanks for the clarification. I am finding that it is harder and harder to find truly social Meetups now so I hesitate joining them. I have no issue with businesses using meetup, I just wish the site would make it mandatory to clearly advertise the fact on the about page, usually you only find this out after you go through the process of requesting and being admitted to the closed group.
I don't need your services, so I won't join, but good luck with the group.

I was bored today and found we do have a Mustachian thread for Edmonton. I live in the Park.

Hey!
Are you in the Mustachian Canadians FB group? There's a meetup this weekend at a campground near Sylvan Lake area. Some people are camping. Some of us are just driving down to visit. No definite day/time yet though.

No, but I'll join that as well. I'm a shift worker, so I often work weekends this one included. Hopefully I'll be able to attend a more local meetup in the future though.
-
Hey there.
I know this is an old thread (a newer one is posted) but I've sent a few PMs to various people in this group to see if they are interested in a meetup. It's not for profit for me, more than I want to meet with like-minded people to share knowledge. If anyone is interested, then please send me a PM and we can see what we can get sorted out!
THanks
-
I am also from Edmonton. Would be interested in meeting if times aligned.
-
I'm always interested in meetups. You should check out the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChooseFIAlberta/
We talk about meetups there. Everyone is so busy, it is hard.
You can find me on FB at Meena Kestirke. I usually find that's the easiest way to arrange events.

I'm planning to FIRE in 2018 so I'm busying figuring out all the last year of work details.
-
I would also be interested in a meet up of just sharing ideas with no type of agenda. Any time I talk about FI at a younger age (which I'm projecting myself to do), people look at me like I'm crazy.
-
I'm from Edmonton as well and would love to meet up. :)

I just say that I want to "retire early". People think 55-60. I keep to myself that they're wrong by a couple decades :)
But for me early retirement is not "doing nothing", it's just doing only what I want to do, without thinking about money.
-
I know with these things its really hard to get schedules to line up so I'll throw this out there. I was planning to do some work at second cup on 34th and Gateway this Saturday (Feb 3rd) so I don't know if 11:00 AM would work but I'll be there. If anyone is interested either PM me or reply here. I'd enjoy talking to people at any stage they are at, I'm just looking for like minded people because I've been lone wolfing it for a while now. I'm hoping I can be FI in 6-7 years.

I can probably make that.
Also I’m hosting this Meetup there tomorrow if anyone is interested. Join me at Scarcity, Abundance, and Enough Discussion http://meetu.ps/e/DLNtD/tvJn1/a

I’m open to another meet up. This Saturday does not work, but if something else comes up that does, I am watching this thread and will try to attend.

That looks like a really neat topic! I'd love to, but unfortunately I'm at karate class tonight - but if you're cool to discuss this via posts in my journal or another topic altogether, I'd love that!

Wow, that's an awesome timeline! Congrats!
I'm, again, unfortunately at karate, but I'd swing by otherwise. That's a great idea to just go out and work somewhere and put out there that you'd be good to meet folks, though. I might do that as well in the coming weeks.

I won't be showing up after all. Too much work, which is a good thing for my business, less so for my social life.
Another time!

No problem guys, tough day with lots of snow too. Keep this post active and if anyone else has ideas please share.

I'm planning to do a YMOYL discussion group, if anyone is interested.

Looks like this thread hasn't been active for a while, but thought I'd check in. I'm in Edmonton for the weekend and was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up for coffee tomorrow afternoon? I'm staying downtown near 109th/Jasper. Sorry for the late notice!
