University Options:
 
Okay, I spent the afternoon checking out options (sadly this was one of my more productive days in the last little while) and here's what I got:
 
- The labs I have cardkey access to are a no-go.  I'd get in trouble, so sorry but I can't risk it for this.
 
- The library workrooms I can book for free are probably no good.  They have 1 long table that seats 8 chairs, and 1 x 4 socket outlet.
 
- We can rent rooms, which would be private, so I went and checked them out and counted outlets:
$40/day flat rate - best option has 5 x 2 socket outlets, and probably desks/chairs to sit a class of 20 (that could be rearranged)
$20/hr, no min hrs - has 6 x 2 socket outlets and tons of desks/chairs that could be rearranged.
 
- Open spaces (i.e. free unless campus security decides to kick us out, but I honestly don't think that would happen as long as we're civilized).  But these aren't guaranteed to be unoccupied, but really, on a Sunday during Summer, I don't think this is an issue.
 
ES160 - what furyagain suggested, a couple large tables, not sure about outlets
 
ICT lobby (by the Good Earth coffee shop) - has a raised semi-circular counter/bar, with 6 x 4 socket outlets, and reasonable amount of seating
 
Engineering Lounge - has ample space, seating (some even kinda comfortable) and about 12 x 2 socket outlets.
 
 
I think the best option would be the Engg Lounge - the least likely to be used by anyone else, the most space, and a lot worse stuff has gone on in the Engg building (and it's a crappy old building unlike ICT), so I'd expect campus security to be a lot more willing to turn a blind eye.  2nd option ICT, 3rd option ES160.
 
Let me know what you guys think.

[Hyperfluxe]

So where is everyone meeting?

 

[furyagain]

i am good for anything..
 
about renting a room for 40 dollars for whole day,
 
i don't mind paying 20 dollars  of that,
 
also...
if some people don't know how to get around in the university , we can meet somewhere else first for some people then go together>>>>>
 
i am really flexible...

 

[furyagain]

Am i right ????
 
plz prove me wrong..

 lets do a head count now///

 

[puppets]

looks interesting......would like to know the venue first.
 
And sorry to hijack this thread but where in the city do you guys go to audition or buy your gear from?

I'm still up for a meet, however this is what's happened to most Calgary meets.  For whatever reason Edmonton meets seem to have a better turn out.  (even from Calgarians).

 

[furyagain]

I agree.
 
i think people in Calgary just too busy for something else,
 
if anyone start a meeting , i will come , if not   i will not bother to try again.
 

 

[Robin W.]

Thanks for trying to start the meet, just hold out for an Edmonton meet they seem to have great turnout and there's usually a few Calgarians making the trip so it's not too hard to find some company and/or a ride.

 

[Hyperfluxe]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow, sorry. I don't even think there's going to be a meet at all to be honest. I would like to have a meet later during the summer if we can get people to come, because I can't make a trip to Edmonton for a meet, I don't even have a car.

 

[TyCanadian]

I'd be interested in attending a meet this summer or fall.  I live in Calgary, so Calgary or Edmonton would work for me.

 

[furyagain]

I love to have a meeting too
 
it is just so hard to start one in calgary..
 
should we try again ?
