Then spilled on to Electric Avenue to meet up with the 17 year olds.

Funniest memory was a tug of war with a city cop with my buddy playing the role of the rope. The cop wanted him in a patty wagon, I was trying to get him out of trouble. The cop was nice enough to say "do you want to come too?" to which I let go.
Did you ever get the feeling that things were getting to the point that violence was about to erupt?

I mean there had to be 10 thousand in a 2 block stretch at one point and lots of them were alcohol fueled obviously. We ducked into the F&F IIRC (one of our guys was son of an owner or something) because it was getting somewhat tense outside.

Made a decision to leave the area shortly after and get back to the safety of S. Calgary where the party went way into the evening.
