Who gets the last word in?

[nafnikufesin]

Camping was good. Weather was just okay, but it only rained in the middle of the night, and the sun came out often enough to remind up what it felt like. LOTS of great beer.

I've never seen DevilDriver, it's too bad I missed them.

 

[Incendiare]

Wow, I can't believe this thread hasn't been put to use since last time I visited.

What the hell happened to this godforsaken place?!

 

[nafnikufesin]

It's a shell of it's former self.

 

[AllShallFall]

Anyone speak Japanese?

 

[Incendiare]

Yeah Naf, it's hard to believe how much traffic this forum once got. What have you been up to?

I wish I could speak Japanese! Have been too busy studying others. Do you, AllShallFall?

I can read it and speak it partially

 

[Incendiare]

That's so cool. Are you learning it on your own or have you been taking courses? It is such a fascinating language. What about Japanese draws you to it?

Mainly busy with work and/or chasing the kids around, but also looking at potentially opening up a brewpub. How about yourself?

 

[Incendiare]

Opening up a brewpub. Sounds awesome! Just hope it wouldn't be in any shady areas of the city.

Me, I got back from Sweden not too long ago and will be continuing my grad studies on the west coast here. Already moved and am checking out what this side of the country has to offer.

 

[nafnikufesin]

We put in an offer on a location just off Whyte Ave, but probably not going to happen as the business association doesn't want any more bars in that area, so may not allow the zoning to go through.

 

[Incendiare]

Damn, that's too bad, but in a way, I agree that there are too many there already, anyway. I used to live on Whyte Ave and after a while, got really tired of constantly having to wade through drunks and/or bums. How about something on the other side of campus, like around Lister Centre/Windsor Park? Mind you, you'd attract a lot of underaged idiots à la Dukes.

 

[nafnikufesin]

We're also considering downtown. There is a location near where the new arena is going up, close to Grant MacEwan that could be good, but would need a lot of start-up work, and the lease rate would have to be negotiated from what they are asking.

 

[Ankalupe]

I'm back...after two years!!!!! damn!!!

 

[nafnikufesin]

You're alive!

 

[Incendiare]

@Naf: Nice, sounds promising. I've never been a fan of downtown but seeing that they are upgrading that area, it would make a great spot.

Welcome back, Ankalupe! You joined while I was on one of many hiatuses so I don't think we've met, but nevertheless, it's great to see some more traffic here.

 

[AllShallFall]

That's so cool. Are you learning it on your own or have you been taking courses? It is such a fascinating language. What about Japanese draws you to it?

Well, it's just a very interesting language. it's very different from English, and it's a very diffuclt but worth-it challenge to learn it

 

[nafnikufesin]

I need to check here more than once a week. There's actually some activity in here!

 

[Dexter UK]

Hola que tal
como te trata la vida...

 

[nafnikufesin]

I remember back in my day when you had to check this thread multiple times per day, or else you'd miss entire pages of conversation.

Of course, back then, I had to walk ten miles to school, up hill both ways, through ten feet of snow...

 

[Eddy]

Whereas now it's enough to check this thread every couple of years...
