(ot) Toronto Get Together!

thatdarncat · 20th January 2002, 03:23 AM

Alright, so first off, let's have a little poll

how many of us are there?

Acmite · 20th January 2002, 04:10 AM

Kitchener-Waterloo. So, I'm actually closer to you than I am to Toronto.

Have you ever been to the Renaissance Faire in Milton? I would think so, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Is this a continuance of the aborted Ad Astra post?

I'm all for a get together!

Trevalon Moonleirion · 20th January 2002, 06:41 AM

I'm from nowhere near Canada, but I wish all of you the best of luck getting together and playing! I know all of us down in Chicago had an absolute blast. Heck, some of us got together a second time to finish up some stuff!

The gathering in Chicago was fun. If you need any help, ask.

My advice is to try to get a feel of how many people you might have and try to get a good location. On the old boards, we also arranged for transportation.

A good rule is not to try to do everything yourself.

Good luck from your fellow EN Boarders in the Windy City!!

Red Baron · 20th January 2002, 08:00 AM

...so I'm not that far either.

I know of at least a dozen who frequent these boards and are scattered between here and TO, and probably there are lots more I'm not aware of.

Chroma · 20th January 2002, 09:59 AM

...I'm from Hamilton...

I'd be interested in a wee meeting... I've never met anyone I've met on the internet in the flesh.

Acmite · 20th January 2002, 06:20 PM

Bump for the other Ontarioans

A2Z · 20th January 2002, 06:22 PM

Hmmm. I'm in Windsor. Toronto's almost as far from me as the Chicago get together was. Maybe I could pull it off though.

Amrynn Moonshadow · 20th January 2002, 06:35 PM

I also haven't met anyone in real life that I know (or semi-know) on the internet. I'm not too far, and i'd like to participate as well. (if the wife will let me . . . damn priestesses of lovitar . . . and their whips)

Ashtal · 20th January 2002, 06:54 PM

I'm in Sudbury, ON, and will be in T.O. on the weekend of Feb 8-10.

Yes, this is a continuation of the Ad Astra thread. Perhaps I should add that to the title.

Acmite - I game in Guelph

Trevalon & William - thanks

Red Baron - well, spread the word. It's the same weekend as the Ad Astra convention, so it gives you another reason to come out.

Ad Astra convention page

Chroma - my usual route into downtown toronto takes me through oakville. I can pick you up there if you'd like?

Amrynn - wife sounds lovely, bring her along too

Yes I have, I'm hoping to work there again this year.

Moulin Rogue · 20th January 2002, 10:29 PM

I live on rez in Humber College (Etobicoke).

Ruvion · 21st January 2002, 01:19 AM

Wow...except for one person, all of you are a little removed from Toronto

...I'm from Richmond Hill by the by.

thatdarncat · 21st January 2002, 07:33 AM

So we're doing good here. We've got what, 8-10 people? Who's planning on going to the con and who just wants to go for dinner?

Ashtal · 21st January 2002, 12:47 PM

Course, that's my whole reason for being in Toronto (that, and the Japanese/Indian food...).

They still don't have a proper schedule posted - but I realize it's likely VERY hairy right now as they try to get all the details in place. So, that means I still don't have a con schedule to help figure out what times I am available.

I, too, will be bringing a significant other.

Kwalish Kid · 21st January 2002, 02:59 PM

Yeah, I'm in London. But there's little chance that I'm gong to Ad Astra. I'll have to think about this.

thatdarncat · 21st January 2002, 03:06 PM

I'm probably going to go to the con, at least on Saturday, perhaps with some of my gaming group.

Kwalish Kid - You guys need to get a London Get together going

there's enough of you.

Amrynn Moonshadow · 22nd January 2002, 08:57 AM

hmmmm . . . feb is very tight for me . . . but i'll see what i can do. (going to a wedding in the US sometime around the 16th, and valentines day is saved for the missus)

i'm all for dinner / gaming / talking / chatting / having fun / get-together-ing . . . i'm not going to the con though.

only deal is that, as we all know, TO is a huge-huge city. but i suppose we can be quite organized. (heck, we all use computers almost everyday)

Amrynn Moonshadow · 22nd January 2002, 09:00 AM

additionally, pic of the [non-gamer] wife is on my work in progress webpage . . . (all two pages, and countless broken links of my webpage) . . . she is alot of fun, but i don't know if she'll be game for this. (hopefully she will be)
