A less than a week to go bump.
Cerowyn or someone email me a phone number in case I need to make some last minute contact (ie I get lost enroute to the restaurant). And any recommendations for cheap yet decent lodgings would be appreciated.
Actually, if anybody wants a phone number to call in case of a mixup, send me a quick email.
Another bump as we approach the date.
My thanks to Cerowyn for his emailed assistance with directions.
Shucks! Tweren’t nuttin’.
Anyone (other than Little Nemo) feel like checking in, so that we can confirm the numbers with the restaurant?
Thanks!
I’m still planning to be there.
I’m getting ready to leave now. Woo hoo! Toronto, here I come!
Sorry folks… Wont be there. I got things to do, like I said before I have to live my life day to day lately. 
But if you’re uptown at all, drop on by. I’d still like to meet dopers, and I’ve mentioned often enough where I work. 
I’ll be there 4-9 Friday, and 12:30-6 on Saturday. I’m the big one. You cant miss me.
If you want directions, drop me an email.
Well, I got my VIA ticket, so you’d all better be there!!!
Peterborough (procrastination master) doper here,
I know I just delurked last week, okay technically I wasn’t
lurking because I wasn’t even reading the boards.
lurkernomore told me a few weeks ago that there was a
Toronto Dope Fest being planned, and I meant
to look it up. sorry.
I just noticed the thread now.
Can I come?
Every Doper who’s dues are up-to-date is more than welcome to attend!
[sub]Uh, you have paid your dues, haven’t you?[/sub]
[sub]Mumble, grumble, grammar check, grumble, mumble[/sub]
Um, that would be “whose.”
Sigh.
Yay! I’ll probably be there! 
I paid my dues in cash when I joined, At first Cecil
wasn’t willing to take Canadian Tire money, but
it only took about a month before it had a better
exchange rate for Greenbacks than anything with
The Queen on it.
I just got back from TorDopFest, and it wasn’t the biggest
DopeFest, and it didn’t have the most alcohol, wasn’t
the most debauched, we won’t have the most photos posted,
and there was no bar dancing; but it was fun and we’ll
have to do it again.
You’re all nice people.
Got me to do something more productive with my saturday
than just hanging around on the internet all day,
and I found a bunch of used books I’ve been looking
for for ages, so even if no one else had shown up the
day wouldn’t have been a bust.
Umm, you know what? it took me 3 tries to get my hotmail
password right, so I’m probably a lot more tired
than I think.
Good night
Wait… no alcohol, decauchery, or bar-dancing…?
Then what party was I at…
[sub]Dammit, Scralden! I thought we were gonna lie and say we all got drunk and naked![/sub]
Yeah, I made it.
'Twas very interesting. JeffB met me at my store and talked to me for a bit, and when I found I would have time, I went down and hoped they’d have room for me. I was an hour late, but hey, I had a good time. You people are cool, even if I couldnt hear a word anyone beyond Cerowyn or Little Nemo said to me. Only 'cause they were sitting directly next to me. Hey, it was pretty loud in there!
And we got free lollipops. Killer.

waitaminute I thought the plan was to lie and say
that it wasn’t an alcohol fueled cavalcade of orgiastic
merriment. how else were we going to explain why we only
had 3 photos. I don’t want to be banned for linking
to photographs which, well I’m not going to get into that.
I’m sure even discussing them could get me a warning
from the mods. 
Besides, next time we need even more
dopers, and you’ll scare them all off :(, That and I
already knew TruePisces couldn’t afford to visit
T.O. and I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.
smooch Thank you, hon, for thinking of me. I’m glad you had a good time there. I can’t afford it right now, but who knows the future…
[sub]And anyone that has compromising pics of Scralden, I’m willing to pay big bucks! [/sub]
Hi all!
(kaj saluton, matt_mcl!)
It was a pleasure to meet you all! I can’t think of many people so worth getting into close bodily prox–er, I mean, squeezing into a car with-
-What? We weren’t going to mention that? Nobody told me…
Anyway,
Um. okay. Maybe we’d better get our stories straight for the inevitable CSIS dossiers. What? We want them to be confused? Okay. I get it. It’ll distract vital resources from the surveillance of the upcoming Montreal Do–
Never mind. I’ve said too much already.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.
And before I forget, thanks to matt_mcl for actually waiting for me because I was going to arrive later. Little did I realize how much later…
And thanks to everyone else for putting up with me.
Home again. I had a great time meeting everyone and generally enjoyed my trip to Toronto.
