Quoted from rwmech5:Have to make it happen Meegis, only thing you can't replace is time. Call in sick and get on a plane!
If you wouldn't mind calling for me, I'm all for it. My sister will be happy to chat.
Quoted from rwmech5:You got it, wife and I just booked our room. First time going and leaving my boy in charge. You show up and drinks are on me. Cheers!
I meant, I with with family and my sister is my boss.
Convince her to let me go lol

Well, it's official.
Plane tickets booked and car rental reserved.
Now to figure out how to repay my cc bill next month lol.
See you all in 120 days.
Never been to Alberta, but this will be a good start.
Quoted from transprtr4u:Being aflamesfan I'm guessing your from Calgary?
Could be Atlanta 
Quoted from northerndude:Hope you got your Meegis badge printed and laminated already!
Already a step ahead
PXL_20230322_202840953 (resized).jpgQuoted from transprtr4u:The question is how many pins are considered as "carry on luggage "
Make sure you have time to explore AB..
Won't be able to explore too much, but have a couple things on my list.
This will be a very short, precisely timed trip.

I'm curious about buying tickets online or at the door. I see prices go up after June 1; just wondering if buying entry at the door will have any fees attached, as buying early you get hit with Eventbrite fees.
Any advice appreciated
Quoted from pins4life33:It is slightly cheaper to buy them on Eventbrite, we did that on purpose to incentivize people to purchase early. When you are buying a weekend pass or day pass there isn't a significant difference a slight saving for the pre-buy.
4 Day Pass: Presale: $97.18, At Door $100
Thursday / Friday : Presale $22.63, At Door $25
Saturday / Sunday: $27.96, At Door: $30
Hope that helps!!!
That's the math I came up with, just wasn't sure if I was clicking something wrong.
I really want to volunteer, but I don't think I'd meet the minimum considering my short trip.
Will likely only attend the show sat/sun
Can't wait to finally put faces to names of all the Westerners!
Quoted from northerndude:Uhhh, we’re the middle
Maybe you sk folk.... But I lump anyone west of Ontario a westerner.
'puts on flame suit'
Good ole center of the universe Toronto guy here.

Quoted from transprtr4u:T minus 9
Really? This is how you welcome a guest? Stealing my thing...
How rude.
Quoted from FlipperFreak:Just a reminder to use the Free Shipping code "Yegpin 2023".
Suzanne says if she has to refund shipping again that one of our 5 weiner dogs will be set loose on Dan Horne at the show!
[quoted image]
Putting in a bunch of orders requiring refunds now.
Quoted from pins4life33:Think you need to come down and show us how it is done
I would honestly love to help. Just a bit off my daily commute unfortunately.
Quoted from Seanofthedead:Just got a call from my hotel "oh by the way we booked you at the wrong rate, it's actually $50 a night more............." LOL
Ouch. What hotel?
I'd have a bit of a discussion on that one
If anyone is looking for a good time, my hotel room will be playing George Michael at a moderate volume from the hours of 8pm - 2am.
After that, I will be in the shower listening to the crying game.
Visitors welcome, but please do not kill the vibe.
Quoted from Tranquilize:Make sure the last song before bed is wake me up before you go go.
I will have a live saxophonist playing the careless whisper solo on loop while I sleep.
Quoted from BMGfan:I don't know if I can handle that crazy of a party!
Just throw back a couple Zimas and you'll be right in the sweet spot
Safe travels to everyone who have started and are starting today
See you all this weekend!
I'll make sure to post my wardrobe so you can find me (or avoid me)
Getting excited now
Quoted from luch:will you be wearing the chicken outfit in your avatar!
Not anymore. You ruined the surprise.
Quoted from transprtr4u:Where are we meeting ?
Damn, I'm gonna be getting a lot of pop and water lol
Posted in the other Canadian thread...
Anyone up for a dinner or just drinks and grub tomorrow evening? No idea what timing will be for people and hopefully walkable to yegpin for ease of no driving.
Thoughts?
Getting all twist turned around and lost on the highway right now.
There's just Fields everywhere.
I am so terribly out of my element
Quoted from rwmech5:You poor bastard. Good luck finding you
We just got here, Amy is dressed up as Velma from Scooby-Doo , come say Hi, Nathan[quoted image]
how-much-pimp (resized).pngJust parked at the hotel, watching everyone walk back for next round.
Looks like I'll be dining alone. :'(
Maybe I'll just grab a pizza and cry in my hotel room.
Met a handful of people tonight. So far only handshakes and fist bumps.
I offer free hugs if you're up for it. (Was this sentence a pun? You decide)
I must say, I did get a hug from Tommy, gotta give credit where credit is due. I will be over at nitro a lot tomorrow.
I will be the guy in the highlighter yellow shirt with Toronto pinball league on the back.
Come find me!
I'll be heading over shortly. Wearing burgundy shorts and a hyper yellow shirt (Toronto pinball league)
I will have my lanyard again.
Hope to see everyone there!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Played some GTF with Meegis and transprtr4u
[quoted image]
You got my good side... No face
Quoted from Seanofthedead:... Haven’t seen a single outburst or douchebag the whole time.
Still haven't met me
Quoted from rwmech5:Where you at Meeg?
Sorry, missed this. Though you did find me. I wasn't hard to spot lol
Final day today.
Happy to have met so many people, only wish I lived closer.
I'll be in a purple shirt and grey shorts today
Last chance for hugs
Quoted from rwmech5:Hope you have smooth travels Meegis. Looking forward and planning for next year. Thanks to all the volunteers and Arkadium for a great show. Cheers to all.
All good.
Just got home a few mins ago, settling down, hopefully can relax soon and get a solid 3.5 hours of sleep before the day begins.
Barf
Quoted from rwmech5:Welcome back to reality. I’m going back to Edmonton.
[quoted image]
Once the rain here cleared it was gross and humid again tonight.
Quoted from rwmech5:That looks like a little piece of heaven.
You're taking about his unclothed leg right?

Just got my yegpin prize in the mail.
A speed camera ticket (which for some reason has a court appearance in Calgary).
Ugh.
Quoted from BMGfan:Thank you for stimulating U̶s̶ our economy!
I was happy to enter, but was a little harsh upon exit.
