Gauging interest in a Montreal or Toronto Bash on March 2-4

[Matty]

If it's by the airport forget it, you're way outside the action. But maybe plommeur can give you a ride downtown.

It's the Westin Prince.

The Westin in Toronto has inexpensive rates. Matty, is that a hotel in the mix of everything?

The Harbour Castle is (as you would have expected) right on the lake.

It used to be a very nice hotel as far as I can remember. I have no recent experience there.

I still think its a nice place.

The Four Seasons up on Avenue Rd is also very nice.

It's the Westin Prince.

On Prince Arthur Ave?

If so it's probably a nice joint. Nothing on Prince Arthur is bad.

It's on York Mills Road. Either way, I will stay closest to the action.

It's the Westin Prince.

That's a bit far from the action if you don't rent a car.

York Mills is "uptown".

You will not be near anything way up there.

Well, thats not true exactly, you will be close to highway 401, which goes directly to Montreal.

I am going to drive to Toronto so I won't need to rent a car. I am only a 4 hour drive from Toronto.

The Harbour hotel is a bit pricier, but if that's the spot to stay, then that's where I will stay.

I would highly recommend using Hotwire. I once got a room at the 5-star One King West for a hunnerd dollorz. Shared it with taco and the X'es.

Select only the A & C areas on the interactive map.

 

[FairWarning]

How many of these people wont be able to go because they cannot get a passport?

 

[Matty]

Casper do you have a passport?

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

Casper do you have a passport?

I have the advanced NY drivers license. You can travel to Canada with it.

 

[Matty]

Oh, cool.

 

[reno cool]

I have the advanced NY drivers license. You can travel to Canada with it.

hey, how does that work?

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

hey, how does that work?

The license has a chip embedded in it. It costs a bit more for it, but when you live close enough to the Canadian border, it is worth it to have.

VERY tempted to go because of the free wi-fi in the coffee shops but I can't make it.

I would definitely consider going to Montreal or Toronto though sometime when the weather is between 40-75 Farenheit. I can't justify
traveling somewhere where it's very humid (like where I live) or ridiculously cold.

I do have a passport!

June would be perfect then Daffayballs. You would love the F1 crowd. Euro babefest.
