Well, if it wasn't for a friends stag party on Saturday, I would have been up there at West Edmonton Mall, but now the wife and kid are going without me. Might be a race at Capitol you could check out. What are you doing up there?

No hockey for me, I'm too much of a wimp for that.
Jay, I don't have much for transportation, and I couldn't ask you to drive 2.4hrs round trip, but maybe I could scare up a cab to meet up with ya.
I'm up here on bidnezz, and it doesn't look like the bidnezz is starting until Saturday.

Re: I'm stuck in Edmonton, Alberta for the next couple of days
Which part of town are you staying at Greg? Unlike some southern states Edmonton has a very good transit system if your transportation is limited. As mentioned White Ave is a hot spot on the weekends and is pretty cool to just walk during the day. It should be pretty busy on Saturday. Check out the Funky Pickle pizza jtoint. There is also West Edmonton Mall if you have never been. It is the largest mall in the world and has an indoor water park and Amusement park. It is kinda cool to see once. LOL. There is also a shit load of restaurants there to grab lunch while you are there. There is also the space and science center that has one of the first 6 IMAX theaters in North America. As mentioned Castrol Raceway is just south of the city right next to the airport where you came in.
I travel a lot for work so I know what it is like to sit around not knowing what to do. Let me know if you can't keep occupied I might be able to dig up an old friend to show you around.
BTW, what kind of work do you do?

Spoke with Jay tonight, if things go right we'll be checking out the drag races tomorrow night. Cool!
I will check out the mall, too, it has been suggested by several folks, so it must be cool, right?
I'm staying downtown, so there should be no trouble finding some of the things suggested, thanks guys!
Jason, I fly for a private company, and we're just hanging around waiting for the company to tell us where and when to go somewhere else.

I forgot to mention there is also Diamonds and Eden gentlemen club that are pretty nice. Go chuck yourself a few loonies and get some magnets for the toolbox. Showgirls is also an alright place.

Man I was bummed, but had to go to work. Gotta pay the bills, you know.
It was great of you to offer to put yourself out so much just to set up a trip to the track, I really appreciate the efforts.
If you're in Dallas or I'm in Edmonton in the future, we gotta make it happen. Beer's on me of course!
