GOLD MEMBER a Long Weekend LDC diary

[GOLDMEMBER]

As usual the last sleep before we leave is brutal for me as it is for many our LDC patrons. Just to excited to get more than the standard 3-5 hours of actually shut eye.
This will be my 20th time attending with the All Star Tours group. Ken and Brett and others have always done a wonderful job through the years. There apparently will be media types along the way in our party buses as we make our way there, lol. We shall see how that goes down?
I am sure the Blue Bombers will bring there A game as Goldie sure as heck will.
Special thanks to Ridermania who goes out of his way to ensure us visiting Blue Bombers fans know where to go and maximize our entertainment value.
Cheers all, my next entry will be after the bus ride down.

Go Bombers Go?.

Give 'em heck, Goldie.

Hi Goldie - my team leaves in a few hours from Calgary to our stay in Moosejaw. We should arrive around 4PM this afternoon and then leave Moosejaw early tomorrow for the game. Our host will pick us up tomorrow morning around 10AM at their offices for their BBQ before the game. I am going to find out where we are setting and hopefully I might be able to chase you down. I think we are in one of the lower section numbers (maybe 115) but higher up - can not remember for last year. I will look for anyone wearing Bomber Gear!!!

The bus ride was a real feat this year! No puking and no serious spillage

The crave was great. If you like sardines for 40mins lol

Still awake

Enjoy the game tomorrow!  I'll be looking for the Bomber fans on tv. Gotta make it there one of these days for the LDC myself.

Went to O?Malleys last night. It was ok there but the Dj could not decide on a so g for longer than 1 min.

Beautiful morning here is Regina. GAME DAY! It is gonna be a great one!

Morning to all my sleepy, hungover Bomber friends!

Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.....kick-off is not until 5.

Cheers!!!

will have to add the LDC to my bucket list along with the Banjo Bowl....perhaps a two week road trip pilgrimage from BC to Manitoba to capture both games?    Needs to happen in the next few years

I sure hope so. It looks like the world is on fire from our hotel window. Lol

Never thought about the smoke.  Stay safe!

Hi Goldie - sorry I could not get to your section for the game. We were in 315A (same seats as last year according to our hosts) and I tried to get across the stadium at half time but no joy. I hope you enjoyed the game (other than the results). We had a great time, chatted with a ton of Rider Fans and other Bomber fans and otherwise enjoyed our stay. We always stay in Moosejaw and come back on the Monday. This year we spent all Monday losing money at the Casino and got back into Calgary very late Monday night (hence I am just now getting moving).

Looking foward to a Bomber Win at the Banjo Bowl!

Woof day 2 of recovery and not near 100% yet. Ugh!

[dd]

Ah Goldie, the older we get the longer it takes for recovery!!

Just curious, what was the best thing or event that happened in your odyssey to the gap??
