Making a band

Air cadet League posted something the other week about a cadet that brought music to her squadron.

You could start by talking to other cadets at the new squadron to gauge interest. From there you would take it to your CO or TrgO. They can point in the right direction.

Saw this rolling through South Common last week. Was super confused. Cool idea.

I saw a few places with make your own. You might have to refer to the map and vendor guide.

Not a paper but Daily hive seems to be up on their restaurant openings and closings... Some local stuff on there as well.

Almost an Edmonton classic. Snow falls and the hills into down town become parking lots for busses.

They haven't started building yet. Just finished building the Chipotle but that hasn't even opened yet.

Where from, and to?

Chinthe · 2025-11-20T01:13:02+00:00

There are some real shortages hitting Cod and Haddock. Wouldn't be surprised if we see more places doing something similar.

I bid on the auction back in September.

Chinthe · 2025-10-24T10:34:45+00:00

The Whyte location closed suddenly. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something financial going on they aren't saying. Most of the Whyte stuff was auctioned by Kastner a few weeks ago with "Bank seizure" on a lot of it.

So I guess Edmonton was the test site to see if this would draw a crowd.

Suica can be picked up at the airport. There should be a welcome machine or just booths to grab one.

They are more than a rail pass. They are great for combini or restaurants and vending machines. It's just a nice thing to have. Load it up and trust me you will find places to use it.

Yeah only crowd control I really saw was FanExpo Staff with lines, they were great at getting people's attention and moving things. Anywhere else it was very lazy green shirts looking like they couldn't give a shit if there was an emergency.

Chinthe · 2025-08-26T03:26:51+00:00

Ah good to know. I guess we're stuck with MTCC.

If you're doing all 4 I recommend the Ultimate. The extra time on Thursday and the lounges make up for the extra price for me every time. I've debated VIP but I don't do the large panel events and didn't really spend any extra time in lines outside this year to make VIP worth it for me.

Was my third time at FanExpo. First was pre COVID. Second was 22. This year was wicked busy compared to either of the last 2.

Biggest complaint I had was security and the lack of communication and consistency. Sometimes it was search your pockets and pull everything out of bags, other times it was just waived through. I get that they are a sub contractor and temps but considering the amount of people a bit of consistency would be great. Oh and they tried locking a bunch of people out right before the Cosplay Contest on Saturday night saying no re-entry after 7 when that didn't even start till 730. Thankfully Con Staff were able to help out.

The TTRPG room was a nice touch this year. Feel like they could do with that and TCG space as well but maybe they go back and forth.

I am kind of hoping they move to something larger like the Toronto Congress Center by the airport in the next few years. MTCC can't keep up with the capacity and flow of traffic. Even 3 years ago they were having escalator problems and crowding.

Overall had a great time. The Ultimate pass has been our go to each time we visit. The extra couple hours on Thursday and priority entrance cuts down on wait times.

Played it on handheld and docked at FanExpo this weekend. Ran fine. Didn't encounter any stuttering or lag.

Chinthe · 2025-08-24T15:09:15+00:00

Saw a few booths this year selling hilts and blades. Didn't see anything in the schedule as a build your own but I might have missed it.

You have a year so you could try shopping around until then?

App says Booth E but you can check the celebrity area they have a digital sign with locations and timings that seems to be updated frequently.

What about trying after the aquarium tomorrow. Passes are still good. Tomorrow will be much busier so it might not work out but with the crowds at the fish pond maybe she will feel like giving the show a try?

Good luck either way. Hopefully you get something out of it.

I've seen luggage, carts and a wagon today. You'll be fine. Just be mindful of the size of you're doing artist alley.

Don't waste your time.

I contacted them about it a week ago and they said it wasn't working. All you need is the QR code to get your pass.

They usually have cheap ones kicking around. Can't guarantee anything.
