Sweet-1 Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Ponoka, Alberta Canada. It's not the middle of nowhere, but I can see it from here.
Darknut Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 St. Louis Missouri, Missoura, Misery... something like that. One day I'll get to a convention to get some cool things.

Penguin Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Calgary, Alberta, Canada... an anime fan stuck in cowboy hell
Sweet-1 Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 I'll second that Penguin. Ponoka has its own stampede, some people have more crap inside the boots than out.
AlphaHX Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 I'll second that Penguin. Ponoka has its own stampede, some people have more crap inside the boots than out. Whoa... you guys are making this place sound like its in the middle of nowhere... Cant be that bad... can it?
Sweet-1 Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Whoa... you guys are making this place sound like its in the middle of nowhere... Cant be that bad... can it? Nope, neither place is that bad, but it's the wannabe cowboys who buy new boots to wear for two weeks with their new wranglers etc. Calgary is super nice, one of the top 3 cities in Canada (IMHO), but I prefer small town living. My kid's can walk down the street, and I know that the nieghbor's are actually watching them out of concern not anything else. Ponoka is actually about 2 hrs north of Calgary and we have our own "rodeo", and for a couple of weeks every summer, you're a wierdo if you don't wear a cowboy hat, or so some people think.
AlphaHX Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Haha... so it really is "cowboy hell" as Penguin put it. Thats cool. Well, glad we got Macross fans even out there!
whytwolf Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Count me as another MWer from 'Cowboy Hell' Calgary, Alberta. That said, I'm not a native of the place, but a transplant from Prince Edward Island...or God's Country as we Islanders like to call it. Truth be told, if it wern't for the nasty custody battle I happen to be in for my daughter, I'd up and move almost anywhere else...New Zealand...Japan... ::sigh:: for now my travel bug must wait Sean
Penguin Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) Ponoka is actually about 2 hrs north of Calgary and we have our own "rodeo", and for a couple of weeks every summer, you're a wierdo if you don't wear a cowboy hat, or so some people think. Whereas we in Calgary are subjected to the "Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth", the Calgary Stampede, for ten days every July. For someone born in the city, 34 years of it is more than enough. Now all it means to me is that public transit is a real pain for a week. Although, to be fair, we get people from all over the world for Stampede, so you get to meet some really interesting people during that time, assuming you're the outgoing type. However, as it has been said, people who don't get into the whole "western" thing (like me) during that time are treated as being fairly abnormal. Edited November 22, 2004 by Penguin
Penguin Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) Whoa... you guys are making this place sound like its in the middle of nowhere... Ponoka's a nice little town, while Calgary is a moderate-sized Canadian city/sprawl... more land area than New York City (5000+ square km, to NYC's 800 sq. km), but under a million people. What can I say... we like our space. Now Saskatchewan... THAT'S the middle of nowhere... Edited November 22, 2004 by Penguin
Penguin Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 That said, I'm not a native of the place, but a transplant from Prince Edward Island...or God's Country as we Islanders like to call it. Well, as much as I love Alberta's forests and mountains, I gotta admit PEI is one heck of a beautiful province.
z-ro Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 looks like i'm the only one from Indonesia here .... sigh .... there's no such thing like anime convention here, i'm jealous to you guys ....
