For those of us that did attend, the east end of the patio is surprisingly pleasant and removed from the traffic on Gateway and White (except of the occasional siren or rolling bass speaker).
The conversation covered a pretty wide range of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and world topics and solutions to many of the problems were advanced albeit probably not that likely to be implemented on most fronts.
For those wanting to watch the game there was a large screen inside and for those just wanting to follow it, you could hear the reaction of those inside or those watching across the street at Hudson's.
Those that couldn't make it for whatever reason are invited to organize the next one...
