Default CP Playoffs Shindiggery?

What do people think about having some kind of CP shindig for the first away game of the playoffs - picking a bar, then having as many people as possible show up and take over the place with some SERIOUS cheering and fun-having?

What I'm thinking, is if enough people want to go, we'd phone a place and see if we could get some kind of reserved seating, so everyone can sit somewhat together, and thus ignite the envy of the hoi-polloi who will wonder: "Who are those people, and how could I ever get to be that cool?"


PS: don't bother with the "OMG karma we aren't in the playoffs yet" schtick, if they somehow don't make the playoffs by an anti-miracle, we can always just go cheer on the Canucks!

PPS: don't firebomb my apartment, I was kidding with that last one.

Can I suggest Steel City Sports Bar on Townsend Street, Boston Pizza on Prince Street, or preferably Don Cherry's on Kings Road?

If we pick Don Cherry's I can walk to and fro

I've said it before and I'll offer it again.... If we get enough people we can get the basement of Kit's Sports Pub to ourselves (rent free). 30 plus would be sweet for us to cheer our faces off!

Calgary, this would be in Calgary - should have made that clear from the start, so as not to get up the hopes of ...

Sure, I'll meet you outside Don Cherry's at 5 PM EST that night - I'll be the drunk guy with the shirt on. No, not that guy - the other guy.

That sounds good - 30 sounds like a good target for numbers, too. So far we have Otto-matic (if you live in Calgary or nearby, of course), myself, Redvan, and presumably yourself, so that's 4 already.

We could have an outdoor event if you're uncomfortable being indoors with me

You'll be the other guy with the shirt on. I'll be there! Clearly you've already been drinking as we run on AST (Atlantic Standard Time) and not EST

Fixed.

I can give you a solid answer once the playoff schedule is out

Hmmm. Perhaps we should consider some kind of sporting endeavour that you two can do. Has anyone thought of that yet?

I'd probably be in.
