Good question.
I’m sure more people are going to join in as time goes by and more learn of it, but now that I’ve got a general idea of interest, I guess I should answer it! I’ve been looking at event venues and the like to try and narrow down the possibilities of where; so far all I’ve done has been add to the list, but hey. We’ve got time.
Anyways, some of the ideas for possible locations:
- Crossiron or Chinook Theatre/Arcade
- That big empty area under Chinook/where the Bowladrome is
- Outside in a park— Nosehill, Confederation, Fish Creek, Prince’s Island, etc
- Eau Claire Market
- University of Calgary
I’ve also looked into renting a community center… but $80-$100 per hour is a bit out of my range. I haven’t looked into hotel rooms yet, though I plan on checking that out tonight.
There is also the option of hosting it at someone’s house, but there are various complications with that. Things like allergies and phobias: I have a large overly friendly dog, for example.
Feel free to offer suggestions for other possible venues. I’ve lived my entire life in Calgary, but I certainly don’t know all the places to party ‘round here.
(I suppose I should mention that at the moment I’m personally leaning towards Eau Claire.)
