Ok, Calgarians...

I'm thinking about coming to Calgary for the auction and would need a fairly inexpensive ($70-100) hotel that's close to the auction. Suggestions?

Also, I'm planning on visiting;
- Gold's
- Riverfront
- Pisces
- Tanks Alot
- Chum's

Anything I've missed? How would you prioritize the ones I've listed (we may not have time to do them all)?

TIA!

edit: Toirtis, just saw your store info in the other thread...

How close? Walking distance, or like a 5 minute drive? 'Motel Village', a collection of 12 or so motels on the Trans Canada is just up the hill from the auction, and most of the motels are under $100/night:

- Gold's
- Riverfront
- Pisces
- Tanks Alot
- Chum's

Anything I've missed? How would you prioritize the ones I've listed (we may not have time to do them all)?

Those are the best...if I had to prioritise, I would actually go with the order you put them in.

Fortunately, Riverfront, Pisces and Chums are all quite close together (one would leave Riverfront, head north on Edmonton Trail, about 10 blocks along is Chums, then headed North on Edmonton Trail again, about 36 blocks (sounds like a lot, but you can drive it in under 8 minutes) north is Pisces.

And, if you hit Gold's first, outside of rush hour, it takes about 10-12 minutes to go from Gold's to Riverfront along Memorial drive. If you start at Gol'd at 10am, you could be done all but Tanks Alot by 1pm.

Whereabouts are you coming in from?

So did the CAS meetings get moved to Sunday? Or am I reading the CALquarium wrong?

Mooose

 

[SerLunchbox]

i was gona ask the same thing

 

[Sara]

Wow, thanks for all the info, Toirtis. We'll be driving in from Edmonton, so that Motel Village sounds perfect. Depending on what time we manage to set out for Calgary, I'm hoping to hit Gold first, and then the other three all on Saturday...we'll see how it goes!

 

[Toirtis]

...and don't forget...this Saturday (the 12th) is Riverfront's monthly 2for1 sale on fish!

It is still the Tuesday of the 22nd (wrong date was looked at as far as i know).

Correct...our editor's calendar was incorrect, and he did not catch the error until after printing.

Hey Blaine, you are going to have to wait a bit longer for that secretary gig YET another change in plans! If it goes the way I think it will, we will be here for the longest day of the year.

 

[Toirtis]

, we will be here for the longest day of the year.

For me, that will be Sunday.

 

[webmoose]

That day will be even longer for me Christian.. At my current rate I will be missing the big auction. Everyone let me know all the exciting details so that I feel like I was there..

[KaiserFish]

What exactly does the Program Director do? Isn't that Trevors position until you two leave?

 

[Menagerie]

Trevor lines up speakers for each meeting. Mostly by asking board members, but he is trying to get outside speakers too.

 

[KaiserFish]

I see... I can blackmail people good!

 

[Menagerie]

The job will be opening up as of May. We really are leaving
