North Ghost River Wilderness Campground
95 km northwest of Calgary on Highway 40.
We like it so much, we're heading there again... July 24, 25, and 26 in the North Ghost Provincial Recreation Area -- see the map below. Flip-flops and T-shirts are the dress code. Cheeseburgers on the barbee. Lawn chairs in the river, and bocci-ball in the woods.
This is a wilderness area, but equipped with a water pump, outhouses, and free firewood. The road is paved up to Waiporous village, then gravel (but still trailer-friendly) for the latter half of Highway 40 towards the campground. Last year we gathered around the campfire and listened to JB on Sirius Radio, thanks to Gord and Cindy. Hopefully we'll be dancing under the stars one more time.
So some on out, and you too can join the Too-Much-Phun club!
For those with GPS: Position is "11 U 637643 5695862". (But don't pitch your tent at this exact position as it's smack-dab in the middle of a road!)
For those without GPS: Just use map below, but don't confuse this campground with the Waiporous Campground; North Ghost Campground is further upstream!
The sites are reserved, so if you're interested,
please E-mail Loralyne:

Buffett has just announced 2 shows in Vegas this fall – the first being October 18th and the 2nd being Saturday, October 25th, 2008. There are still no closer venues. Last year we had 2 great groups go from Calgary on different weekends. So far, we have a sizeable group going, and October 18th is the target concert date for the group.
Update 11-May-2008: As of this writing, tickets are available through TicketMaster now.
If you show your membership card at the Margaritavilles in Key West, New Orleans & Vegas, as a Club member you receive a 10% discount. (Vida mentions these 3 as they are the ones that have been mentioned on the message board.) This probably applies in the Caribbean locations as well. We are sure that if you were to whip out your membership card at other locations the 10% will apply. This is only for merchandise in the store, not food or drink.
If anyone is traveling in the next little while where there are Margaritavilles – and you are granted the 10% discount (or not) please let Vida know. This apparently is “not in stone” – but people have been granted the 10% discount. For anyone who has been to a Margaritaville location – you know how easy it is to blow $200 bucks on merchandise (well, that’s $20 in your pocket.)
Yet another reason to stay or become a proud card-carrying Calgary PHC member!……

Friar's Pub
Glenmore Landing (1600 90 Ave SW)
Our Spring Phling date is confirmed with Friars and they have once again hired the pH Unbalanced band for this event. For those of you that don’t know our history – this event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it helps immensely when we do not have to pay band costs. Instead, all money raised will go to the Salvation Army Children's Village Breakfast Program.
This is a ticketed event – tickets will be $10 for Calgary PHC members and $15 for non-members….. We are always looking for door prizes for this event – so if anyone has anything to donate – that would be great.
Mark the date down – the event will be at Friars once again where Kim and her wonderful staff will host us. More details to come...

Weather permitting, we will be on the patio and Vida will bring the boom box together with some Buffett CD ’s
|
Sunday, May 4th, 2008 -- weather permitting.
The Plan thus far (subject to change): Meet at the Hose & Hound at about 9:30 AM. Chuck will be waiting for us with coffee and Baileys. And then do our part and find what we find and then reconvene back at the Hose & Hound. |

Fins up! in the Bow and Elbow Rivers |
Mark Saturday, March 15th, 2008 on your calendars, as Friars has hired the pH Unbalanced Band to play, so this will be our March phlocking. The band will start playing around 8:00 pm and will be on all evening. This is always a great night out – so come join us. The theme is “Bring on Spring”. As per usual Kim & her staff at Friars will have some drink & food special... So put on your best tropical outfit and break out the flip flops and come party with your fellow parrot heads at Friar's Pub & Eatery in Glenmore Landing (1600 90 Ave SW).
Next Phlocking:
Our next phlocking will be on Saturday, Feb 9th at 3:30 pm at the Hose & Hound Pub in Inglewood. Chuck Rose has agreed to play some Buffett tunes for us – so it only makes sense that we support the Hose & Hound. For those of us that were out in November for the same format – we all had a great time. Please come one and all -– the more the merrier.
