No, I find the day most irrational.

Does a barbershop chorus rehearsal count?

(Being irrational that is ...)

You must tell me if Doom is as crazy in real life as he appears on here.

He never seemed very crazy on here to me.

Rather well behaved in person but more importantly, he and his buddy were descent to talk to. I probably talked too much about Edmonton airport and Joseph Smith. I felt like we ran out of time, they probably felt like they finally got away.

We took a picture of our hats and figured one of us should be able to post it. I'm guessing it won't be me.

Yeah, a bit. Just things like when we joined, the TB Stachewhackers, how Doomyoshi's bud forgot his user name. How ArmyofGOD may have proved Alex531 may actually be a girl.

We talked about beer and air miles. Bank cards, Doomyoshi does not have one which is pretty impressive actually.

Never made it to the Cecil, drove past the gravel lot yesterday though.
How about the Forestlawn Hotel, been there?

Sorry the Shamrock is closed now too.

the T & C? oohhh yeah...i literally lived like a 5 minute walk from it for about a year. fun times. greasy, but fun...
hmm, so the 'sham never reopened after that crackhead lit his room on fire? doh.
it's sad that cowtown has no dive bars in the dowtown core left. i mean, if klein was good enough to hold meetings in the st. louis when he was mayor, wtf?

Shamrock closed this year. Edit:oops just last December.
The Town & Country is still there.
The Forestlawn Hotel burned down early in the 1990s, arson, a firefighter died.

ohh, i thought the tit & clit was the forestlawn hotel. i moved to calgary in 97-98ish so, before my time. the peeler bar @ the T&C was the best one in town, imo. didn't put on heirs, you know? it knew what it was. fond memories...
glad to hear the 'sham finally reopened but sad to hear it closed so soon... :(
where do all the ne'er do wells drink and buy drugs and/or sex now, i wonder...

Probably a dive bar in a stripmall or one of the French Maid franchises.

They are rebuilding the King Edward but it won't actually be a hotel inside. Someone is building a giant music center hoping to be a part of the revitalization of the "East Villiage". Now that we are in another economic downturn we will see how that goes.

Wasn't the black mold, sewage leaks and clouds of ciggarette smoke integral parts of that bar? Maybe someone will make a vape juice to replicate that "ambience". They can run it in smoke machines.

Right, because you have to reverse the days and months in order for it to say pi.

I've always wanted to meet a fellow CCer in real life. You people just live to far from me.

That's only because you are on the wrong side of the pond. You live in the mirror land. Why look at how you drive!
