Nicole, how lovely to see you here again!  Yes, as you can see, we're all still here.  I'm afraid our love of (obsession with) Brokeback Mountain is here to stay.  And there's no nicer place on the web to reminisce about it than here.

I'm hoping to go to Alberta in July, myself - it would be lovely to meet you both.  Hope it all works out!

Through the years, we all will be together if the fates allow...

Hope you and Pierre are having a wonderful holiday.

Very Happy Christmas, Winter Solstice, and New Year's to all the Tremblays! It's very sweet of you to drop in. I'm reading this a few days late, as usual, but I welcome you warmly as we all do.

Speaking of the Calgary trip, I've been meaning to mention that there is a gay rodeo in Calgary in late July, I'll find out exact details soon and get back to everyone on the main thread in the social events forum.

Cheers,

Jenny

Nicole, it's so wonderful to hear from you!  I, too, misread this thread's title and didn't realize it was from you.  I was also on the board when you “stopped by” last winter.  That was so sweet of you to think of us and send us your holiday greetings!  You are both really special people and it would be so wonderful to meet you when I and so many others from this board are in Alberta next summer.

I send my holiday best to you and yours and hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

Oh my goodness Nicole - so lovely to hear from you!

All the best to you and yours. And you can see we are still in love with your hubby's fine work!!

Hi everyone,

We can't believe you are all still here!  Pierre and I watched Brokeback Mountain again last night.  We had only seen it last in January.  Hey, it's a good movie!  It was fun to watch it again and to realize why it made such an impact on so many people.  For once in cinema we see gay men as real people not as clowns or as drag queen charicatures who may be lots of fun but not the norm.

Please tell me more about this Alberta visit a couple of you have mentionned.

Thanks for all your good wishes.  Happy New year to you all.

Nicole

I echo your sentiments Nicole, and as my friend Lynne put it so well the other day, this story is cathartic, and such a blessing to so many. A warm thank you to all involved in delivering it into the world.

Nicole -

Here is a very tentative itinerary:

Thu. July 26    Towns north and east of Calgary (Crossfield--50 miles north of Calgary, Strathmore--60 miles east of Crossfield)
                     Exploring and shopping in Calgary
                     Dancing at Ranchman’s

Fri. July 27     Drive to Fort MacLeod (160 miles south of Calgary)
                    Lunch at Red Coat Inn
                    Cowley (60 miles west of Ft. MacLeod)
                    Drive back to Calgary along Rte. 22 (Longview, Black Diamond)
                    Dinner in Calgary

Sat. July 28   Travel to Canmore (120 miles west of Calgary)
                    Lunch in Kananaskis Village (near Canmore)
                    See nearby film sites
                    Dinner in Canmore
                    Viewing of movie?

Sun. July 29   Picnic at Lower/Upper Kananaskis Lakes
                    Hiking/Riding
                    Bear/Bridge sites
                    Dinner in Canmore or K. Village
                    Viewing of movie?

Mon. July 30    Hiking/riding
                     Cookout, bonfire, moonlight ride


I think we will get a big turnout in Alberta - since we will be visitin' the film sites!     I will be there!  In fact I and many other "Brokies" have already gathered in San Francisco, San Antonio, Boston, New York, and Casper to meet each other and talk about and watch our favorite movie.    There have also been other US and European gatherings that I did not attend.  Future gatherings will be happening in Bay City Michigan and Estes Park, Colorado!  There's no reins on this one!!

Thanks Pete, fer directin me (& others, I'm sure) ta this thread.

Nicole

Joyeux Noël à toi et à ta famille.

Je n'ai pas fait partie de la gang qui s'est servi du site de Pierre Tremblay dans les temps difficiles de l'hivers dernier, mais je célébrerai mon premier anniversaire de la première fois que j'ai visioné Brokeback Mountain demain. Merci à toi et ton mari pour ce que vous avez fait pour plusieurs d'entre nous en offrant votre site chez IMDb. Je prévois, moi aussi faire le trajet à Calgary (de Toronto) l'été prochain ... et j'ai hâte de rencontrer plusieurs brokies ... je crois que nous serons une cinquantaine (et je ne serai pas le seul francophile là!)

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer

Sheriff Roland
