Anyone interested? Trinn and I were the other morning about it and were thinking about the last weekend in June (27,28,29).

So far, we have the following people who have shown an interest:[ul][li]Me[/li][li]Trinn[/li][li]Jack Batty (Tentatively)[/li][li]Zette[/li][li]Lucyshoe[/li][li]Tkeana (I think she uses that name here.)[/li][li]Delphica (Tentatively)[/ul]And I’ll throw Jadis’s name in again.[/li]  
We’ll keep it open like the last time. No definite plans on places to go, et al.

I am going to do my very best to be there- I think I can! I think I can! Lots of fun last time and I miss my Niagara pals a lot.

If we need to push the date back, we can. (For financial reasons.)

Oooh, I might be able to do a Niagara Dope.  
Where in the Niagara Region, does the Dope usually occur?

Teehee, I would love to pop my Dopefest cherry. 😛

**Zette** is well acquainted with my idiocyncracies about planning things too far in advance, but I’ll put in a tentative yes. 😃

**Zettie Bo Bettie** , you wanna room together again?

Right at Niagara Falls.

Last time, we met at the Casino entrance. We walked up Clifton Hill and grabbed food and then walked to the Falls.

From there we stopped for something to eat (again) while some folks went up the Skylon tower. We met back, I made a comment about getting Nun’s out of their bad habbits (:p) and we hit the casino for a bit.

We then headed over to TGIFridays and drank some more while Zette sang.

After that, we finished the night in my hotel room with more drinks. 😉

The next morning, we were dry humped by Denny’s, but I don’t want to go into that. 😃

Sounds like stuff me and the SO do once in a while anyways…

Just a matter of convincing the man to meet up with a bunch of strangers from the internet _gasp_

Well, I’ve got over 3 months to talk him into it 😉

besides, me and him would have never met if not for taking chances on “internet strangers” 😉

I am in like Flynn, baby. (Er, don’t look too deeply into that statement.) Even if my car broke down and my bicycle had a flat, I could walk.

Plus–I have a guest room here in the 'partment, in case anyone’s hard up on cash for a hotel room.

More and more people!  
Excellent…

(This is all pending the war of course…if they shut the boarders down we can always yell across the gorge. :p)

Ok…some more details:

As Zette mentioned in the last ND thread:  
[If anyone is travelling from the US to Canada, have your ID and Proof of Citizenship ready at the border crossing. For more info, see this.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=134331)

I guess we can all try and stay at the Diplomat Inn again. It was $99 Can last time. (Makes the room-party at the end of the night much easier. 🙂

Sure, I’m in. I live an hour away. I own the roulette table, baby.

Can we bring spouses?

I’ll be more able to commit if the date is pushed back; the weekend prior I have pool league regionals in Connecticut, and I need to budget accordingly.

Any other ideas on dates folks?

Well if it is July 4th weekend it would be better for me… Or July 11th… The weekend before the proposed dates I am already travelling 8+ hours to get from Ottawa to Southwestern Ontario for something else… Two weekends in a row might kill me…

I would love to come 🙂

Pencil me in with verrrrrrrrrry faint pencil. Because the distance is doable for me, and my interest is sky-high. It’s just logistics that may trip me up.

Ok, after some asking about, July 4th is no good, so I am eyeing July 11th weekend.

This ok for everyone?

July 11 is good for me (unless work sends me out of the country – hard to plan that far ahead.)

Sniffs\_Markers might be able to come too unless she’s touring.
