Calling the Languish Toronto mob

[Grey Fox]

Baseball!
HHOF!
Meeting Me!
Cn Tower!

It's the Just For Laugh Festival from July 15th to 19th in TO.

There's something called the "AGO"

[saskganesh]

Which of Toronto's Train station should I arrive? Union Station?

yeah. right downtown.

[saskganesh]

When you guys arrive, drop by my place if you like. It is easy to get to if you want to TTC it, as I'm half a block from a subway station (Royal York).

Or conversely we could meet up downtown for drinks and stuff first. Your call. I work right downtown so that is no trouble for me.

Will you still be downtown at 8pm on a Friday?

At some point HVC & Sask should mention what they want/plan to do

I think BB's train will come in around 6.

we could meet BB, then you, in sequence downtown, have drinks, and plot for Saturday activities.

I wouldn't mind seeing the new AGO. CN tower is a scam and baseball is for americans.

[saskganesh]

And any suggestions on getting from London to Toronto?

Am I stuck Greyhounding it?

checking VIA, there are three trains to Toronto daily, and about a dozen busses. both about the same travel time, bus is cheaper, train is nicer.

What is the AGO?

[Grey Fox]

There's 6 trains

Arrives at : 11:29, 15:24, 16:41, 20:41, 21:47 & 23:33.

Sounds like Sask has a plan.  I'd love to see the AGO myself.

Is the AGO covered by cultural content laws?

Is the AGO covered by cultural content laws?

oh ya. no Iowan folk art is allowed.

I propose dinner on Saturday. Doesn't have to be the only thing the Languishites do together of course.

I am still probably only 25% in any case, but if I am going to talk the wife into going I need to present a firm plan for why, rather than "well, maybe there might be some people we could meet at midnight friday..."

Anyone have any good ideas for shows or anything to use to entice her to make the trip?

I'm all over dinner on Saturday night.

I'll definitely be in on Friday, but I need to find out when exactly this conference ends so I can get an idea when I can make it to TO.  I'll arrive in TO with suitcase/backpack, so I'd prefer to not immediately go barhopping or whatever right after the bus/train.

If we're doing cultural stuff (which is good by me) what about the ROM?

ROM is fine by me, too.

Another plan, if you are comming in with bags etc., is to drop em off at my place and then go for dinner/drinks in my neighbourhood - lots of places to do that very nearby.

Hey don't worry about the cost, my treat for stuff like drinks, dinners and admissions. Within reason.
