Hmm...here's a possibility...

I know we're 2 days before the meetup and everything's semi-set, but...

Apparently, on saturday the 24th up on Bloor there's some kind of 'Icefest' Ice Sculptures thing...I'm open to anything, and I think that has the potential to be either great or rather tame..but...there's also that idea of a meetup with a bit more of a 'going on' than Chinatown...not that Chinatown's boring at all haha.

Thoughts? I'm open to anything, just noticed that that was going on and figured I'd throw it out there.

 

[Chiller]

Im o.k with it. We did a Kensington market wander the last time we met downtown. I will go anywhere.

 

[Antarctican]

Same response as Chiller....we can check out the ice sculptures and if they're lame, we'll just move on. Where on Bloor is it?

 

[Chiller]

I'm probably still available, but have a few appointments that aren't changeable (you know, like with my geriatric specialist ). ~~~What are the specific dates...Feb 23 to Mar 1?

I think they are at Yorkville. I heard something about it on the TV as I was flippin channels. Not sure tho. Something called the Yorkville Ice fest ...maybe. :er:
hmm....just found this link

Should we move the meetup time later then...

 

[GoM]

I'd be game for that, if all are...if it is lame, it's right on the subway line so it'd be pretty easy to get anywhere else. Yorkville'll probably be packed, so finding each other may be a bit more difficult..but...ice scultping at a temperature only just below freezing sounds perfect from a withstandable-shooting perspective

Hey, we (Chiller, Carroll1, Airic) all know already what each other looks like. So you'll have to do something to make yourself stand out. heh heh....

 

[lostprophet]

just one question, who is picking me up from the airport?

Depends if you want to be picked up on time.

HaHa!! Good one Carl Andy, planning on flying into YYZ in XH558? Maybe you can get a ride back in Glacier Girl

[GoM]

Well, what do we think? Spadina or Yorkville?

Let me know your flight number, and I'll pick ya up.

(Gonna bring along some big lenses and the fisheye lens again?)


GoM, it sounds like we're a go for Yorkville. Does anyone know of a coffeeshop or something there where we can meet, or should we just meet at the drugstore outside the Bloor/Yonge subway station (ie in the underground shopping area) and walk over together?

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say have a good time tomorrow and dress warm.... calling for -24 with windchill in the morning. I hope that things warm up a bit by the time you get together.

Thanks Suzanne. I just heard that too on the radio. YIkes.

We should probably meet in the shopping center at Yonge and Bloor at 1ish. At least we can all stay warm till everyone is there.
J and I will be driving down, so Im hoping to find parking near by.
