I floated this out there a few days ago about having a little holiday get together between Christmas and new years. Got a couple of responses so I have added a little helium to this trial balloon and put this forth for your consideration.
The first annual Crude City Christmas RE-Gift Exchange. Take that mauve tie you got from aunt Suzie or the plastic fruit bowl that your crazy cousin Charlie sent you last year and wrap it up as a Re-Gift.
I am thinking that we book a couple of tables at Chucky Cheese, (Thanks for coming up with that Modrey) bring along a few spouses and kids if you got em, do the Re-Gift Exchange and then hit the ski-ball lanes. A small hand crafted gift would also be suitable if you really don't like the re-gift idea. We really do have some creative folks in the club. I am actually quite surprised at the number of right brained folks there are in the scooter community. I wonder if anybody has ever worked out a correlation between the two. (I am so left brained its a marvel I don't tip over)
Tentative dates around the 27-29. Let me know if you are up for it or if you just think this is a stupid idea. I take criticism very well. I do drive a modern scooter after all.

Vy is it vee get too soon olt and too late schmart?
I believe I will be able to make any of those evenings, so I'm tentatively in. I don't know if I will have any RE-gifts, so I think I might start working on a crafty item now to hand out. Just a note about Chucky Cheese...it is my understanding that they don't allow adults without children, so I think it's a necessity to bring a few. Maybe someone -coughsocialdirectorcough- should call and find out for sure. Anyways, I love the idea. I love gifts.
cheers
ps...modern scooters rule...until I buy something vintagey.
Getting together sounds like fun. Chucky fricken Cheese not so fun.....ask me how many times I have been there over the past 3 years? Go ahead! Ask me!!!
I'm up for alternate locations, but if the group goes with the Cheesmeister then I'll catch you all later ...
If I don't get another chance I want to wish you all a happy, safe and health holiday season..
Ciao
Buone Natale e Felice anno nuovo

So Angelo... in the last 3 years, how many times have you been to Chucky Fricken Cheese?
How about bowling? I like the idea of doing something other than just eating. 5 or 10 pin, awesome shoes, getting to hurl a ball at some pins...it's bound to be fuuuun.
Mini golf is another decent option. I know there are at least a couple indoor courses in Edmonton. We could hit one of the ones at West Ed and then head to a restaurant in the mall (which gives people the option of skipping the mini golf if they're spoil sports).
Semper gumbi guys. (always flexible) Like I said, it was a trial balloon with a little helium added.
Bowling sounds good to me too. I am just shooting for a social gathering that can be family friendly IF a person wanted to bring their little-uns. We could maybe go bowling at the place where we didn't go bowling for the rally if you catch my drift.
Talk to me kids. Oh, and the re-gift gift exchange thing is still looking like its on. You only need to bring one and to make life even more complicated, the plan is to do it as a modified chinese re-gift gift exchange. Where you can only do one steal in a round. Whoever gets stolen from has to choose from the pile. Don't worry, its not as complicated as it sounds.
Lemme hearya holla kids.

If its a re-gift there is no price limit. If you really cant stand the thought of using that $100 Chucky Cheese gift certificate you got from your mom, re-gift it. But if its a hand crafted thing, whattya think people. Is 15 bux enough?
