Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Put me down as a maybe. Whether I go or not will largely depend on how much financial assistance I get when it comes to hotels, and whether I achieve my objective in getting a relatively good and stable job sometime in the next several weeks. Who's down with helping me deal with the cost of rooming?

The daytime portion of the Saturday meet is open to all ages. When we scuttle off to a beverage house, the young ones may have to find their way home though.

While I trust your judgment and welcome any recommendations, I doubt we'll be making it out to the west end. To justify hauling the entire group somewhere far, we'd need the destination to be pivotal to the day as a whole.

Alright, I've put together a list of the potential attendees thus far. If you're interested and you don't see your name on here, or if you feel you've been lumped into the wrong category, let me know.

I'm still coming. I don't care if I'll be 18, I'm still gonna drink.

Also, a friend is going to his aunt's wedding in Ontario, so I'll definatly coming down. How much money should I bring if i'm looking to spend 2 weeks doing fun shit?

as much as you possibly can :

and Tropical that doesn't surprise me - with you being a women and all .. nyuk nyuk nyuk..

and Sniper pizzas are for eating, not for fucking :P

also Mike better come - it's just not a sexy meet without Mike.

also Milkman Dan is a mayybe as well. There is also the hockey hall of fame in toronto for those that are sportily inclined.

there is also some great fashion places to shop at in the bloor /yorkville area and Hazelton Lanes - for those that like to shop :P

there is also ontario place - which is open until the fall, and Cinesphere, home to the world's first permanent IMAX theatre..

aand there's the ferry, the toronto islands and the harbourfront too.

stop complaining - I don't even remember the last time there WAS a general toronto meet..

You just had to do it the weekend I'm in New York, didn't you...
God damn you, Aaron...

Hmm, such short notice!

Round trip flights from $318... Hotel rooms starting at $69/night. Anybody wanna split a hotel? I can't be anything more than tentative at this point (passport needs to get renewed).

If I drive, it's 4 tanks of gas and a combined 22 hours of driving. $200 for gas... yea flying's the only option.

Hmm. Hmm.

It's later than preferred, I agree. The idea just kinda came back to life and back into demand at the Montreal meet, and we don't want to edge any closer to the winter. Two months seemed like enough notice for virtually any employer.

Bahaha, everything is going according to plan. But no seriously, that's a bummer. Would have been good to have you here. Another time, I suppose.

Evark

Yeah, it'd be wise for people who know each other or who are willing to trust some fellow Newgrounders to pool together some accommodation plans. Such a waste to rent a hotel room to oneself.

Ennui

Some more good ideas, thanks. Bringing friends is fine, as long as they can account for themselves and aren't known to be horrific shit-disturbers.

Vidaria

We'll get something of an itinerary closer to the fact, new ideas are still coming in, so we'll have to put the lot of them to a vote at some point in the near future. Even then, the itinerary will be a bit loose. If there's one thing that the past meets have taught us, it's that a group this size cannot work on an hour-by-hour schedule, and reservations are - to be blunt - a clusterfuck. Without fail, some people won't show. Without fail, some people won't pay. Flying by the seat of our pants isn't ideal, but unfortunately we'll have to keep plans flexible.

There's a decent hostel not for far from the train station. Only 20 bucks a night as I remember.

the meet is from saturday to sunday If I am seeing it right - although since it's OUR thanksgiving holiday - I think we should also extend it into monday - so that us Canadians can enjoy an extra day :)

an d don't you guys have like a columbus day or somethnig that week too?

I think the answer's yes, but I wanna be sure.

The official part is just on the Saturday. I'm sure a number of people will be around on Friday and Sunday as well, though. Hell, a bunch of us live right in Toronto, and I'm sure that the people flying in from further away won't want to do so for just one night. That said, the catch is that there's not going to be any concrete plan or central organization for the non-meet days. People will be putting plans and groups together at their own leisure. I'll be around all weekend, and can offer up suggestions for on-the-fly plans, and I'll be a part of as much as I can on those other days.

As much as I wanted to see New York, Toronto would be a lot cheaper, and probably crazier too.
Working on it, so put me up as a "maybe".

I finished the hub page for this event:

I pretty much added the confirmed and probablys from the list earlier in this thread. The maybe's can wait until they are more confident.
