Sounds good to me. Now all I need to do is figure out where Front and University are, but hey, that’s what strangers on the street are for.

This is convenient for me, as I live downtown as well. Just don’t drag me to the 'burbs. 😉

**JeffB** , here’s a [map](http://map.city.toronto.on.ca/scripts/esrimap.dll?Name=aTOMS&Cmd=Inter(FRONT+ST+W+/+UNIVERSITY+AVE,628278,4833412,HL)&Persist=(G36971.58712962)) that will help you find the corner of University Ave and Front St. And, while we’re at it, [here’s](http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/links.htm) another page you might find useful (getting back to your “what to do in Toronto” thread).

**RickJay** … of COURSE your better half can come!!!

Thanks, **Cerowyn** , for that map link that DOESN’T WORK! What? You don’t want me to come? Huh? 😛

Guess I’ll just have to do this myself.

[146 Front Street West](http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn/twn-map_results&map_increase=1&uid=u7e304k1hdr2qbvd:zn0r7lgft&SNVData=3mad3-h.fy%28wb0q4a_%29z1x5az%3bah7-%3dur0%2bSCIWJ%2bF%17%2bN_%17BCIWJQ_X%11%28_R%17%285lyrs1%3a_ahayxg%3aa%3bwh%7c2%24hgv%28l3iedgv%245l1t%3b8&pcat=).

Ha! Can’t get rid of me that easily.

[sub]Boy, I hope that link works.[/sub]

😕 The link works for me, **JeffB** , and for the person on the other side of the world I just had check. In any event, my apologies.

Oh, and your [mapquest.com](http://mapquest.com) link DOES work.

I’d come, but it’s a bad weekend. Have fun anyway! (Yes, my last three Dopefest posts have been along these lines … it’s tough to have such a jam-packed schedule.)

The reservation is made for us at Armadillo’s Texax Bar & Grill for 7pm… under the name “SDMB.” I think we asked for smoking, since I didn’t know what the majority of people wanted (besides, **theotherangel** smokes like a chimney).

Sorry folks, as much as I want to attend a dopefest, I dont think I’ll be there. If it’s this saturday (is it?) I’ll be busy throughout. Though if any of you want to visit me at the store I’ll be there 12:30 - 6 or so! Drop on by.

Any word from Barbarian, Doubleclick, Hodge, Poirot, Purd Werfect, or QuickSilver? They all posted in the previous Toronto thread.

Looks like that wkd has been hijacked for me:(. It seems that the best man of my friend’s upcoming wedding has decided that the Stag’n’Doe isn’t going to arrange itself after all. We’re making final plans & arrangements that wkd.

I guess I’ll have to wait for the next one folks.

Oh, I would so love to attend this! Some of the best times of my life have taken place in Toronto. But, I’m here in California. If I was there, I’d happily attend. I hope y’all have a great time!
