Re: Haligonian/NS Meet up
Sounds like the beginning of a plan then. Any thoughts on a suitable venue?
Last time we were in Halifax we went to a pub called something like 'My fathers moustache' which sold about 100 or more different types of beer. I've also had a drunken evening in an Irish pub downtown but cant really remember where it is. All suggestions from locals gratefully received!

Re: Haligonian/NS Meet up
Given that Easter is the weekend after next and that recent posts have brought Haligonians/Nova Scotians out of the woodwork I thought I would bump this thread up.
Anyone fancy meeting for a pint over the Easter weekend? (But probably not on a Sunday as everywhere will be closed eh Beaver?!
)

We are also likely to be at home over the Easter weekend, so would try to come along to a get-together. During the day and child-friendly would also be best for us.

Re: Haligonian/NS Meet up
OK,
Perhaps one of the 'locals' could suggest a place to meet up. Mrs AX and I are completely flexible. The friends we stay with have a baby so if they come too, family friendly is good. As for day, howabout Saturday? (Cos as we know Halifax shuts down on a Sunday,,,,,,!)

i could try and arrange a video-conference if you feel you conversation may lag, after praising the virtues of the super-city
personally i would give the triangle a miss, as it's overpiced pseudo-irish tat
& the bands are crap - yet again only my opinion
how about boondocks-fisherman wharf -dartmouth side towards the airbase
you can watch the sewage accumulate from the deck, as you feast your eyes over the oh-so generic menu
