I’ll keep those dates in mind… I might be able to make it since I’ll be in Hamilton all summer for work…I’d like to meet The other Mnem - ACK!™ someday… 
Pointedly ignoring how deeply wounded I am that some people who posted here seem to be willing to blow off this event for matt’s evil plans, I thought I’d give this thread a little bump. The event, should it happen despite the forces aligned against it, is scheduled for just over two months from now. Scary, isn’t it?
Bitter? Me? Perish the thought!
I feel horrible.
I’m a big idiot and the worst father in history.
I just friggin’ dawned on me that that weekend is my kids’ birthday, so it looks like I’m going to have to bow out after all.
Damn it. I was so looking forward to this that I was blinded.
I’m going to have to go with plan B. NYC in August for Twisty/Yojimbo.
But there is a good chance I’ll be in Niagara Falls at some point this year, and I’d still be jazzed for a mini-me-Tor-Dope thigamajig.
I am so beating myself up over being a total moron, here.
I am resurrecting this thread briefly to get the attention of Toronto Dopers…I’m going to a conference the first week of June in Toronto. Wanna meet?
Might be taking a job just outside Toronto. I’ll certainly be by if I’m in the area.

Hey, I’m all for that. There’s an outside chance I’ll be on my way to Tokyo then, but I’m sure there will be other takers as well!
Cerowyn, the Queerdope in Montreal is supposed ot be in June, and this is July. No one’s blowing anyone off!
You people couldn’t have this a month EARLIER, could you?
Well, no, 'cos then I’d be too busy at a wedding in Toronto.
Despite the fact that Toronto is about a sixteen-hour drive away, I may well be crazy enough to visit that city twice in 30 days. Details as events warrant.
I wanna go! I’m only a city away from TO.
Let me pose a question, is there an age limit? I think I’ll be pretty wierd being (I think) the only gay 17-year-old teenager present.
Weeeell, 17 year olds will affect the choice of venue, since you have to be 19 to get into a bar here. Hmmm…
Ah, but a poster-who-shall-remain-nameless (unless you hunt up the thread and match the quote), said:
But that’s okay. It’s not like I’m [sniff] hurt or anything.
Less than two months until the date! Wouldn’t hurt for people that are coming to speak up.
I’m still coordinating places to sleep for out of towners.
Trin and I will be attending this one. (We are in Kitchener so we won’t need a place to crash or anything.)
I’ll be there, and am carting Andygirl, LaurAnge, and New and improved Scott along with me, as far as I know. A place to crash would be greatly appriciated.

I am inviting a Toronto friend to the activities, just so you all know. She’s good people.
Here ye, here ye!
Less than one month to the Toronto Dopefest!

So, twenty-one (including me) so far. (Calling globe-trotter – we did tell you about this at Cranky’s mini-Fest.) Four people have taken up local Doper’s offers for sleeping space (that I know of, anyway). Of course, that sort of presumes that “TornontoDope” and this event are one in the same.
We will, of course, raise a glass to Jack Batty and his kid (especially since the genesis of the idea for this event started during an evening of drinking with him in San Francisco).
The schedule (thus far) is as follows:
Saturday (July 13th) 1:00 PM - Hanlan’s Point
- Everyone should aim to be on the ferry that departs for Hanlan’s Point @ 1:00 PM (keeners can take the 12:30) - congregate to the left of the exit (as you disembark the ferry). I’ll endeavor to be holding a sign with “SDMB” written on it. (Anyone who remembers matt and detop with their “Straight Dope” sign in Montreal will appreciate why… :))
- Lunch and drinks will be provided, 'cause Toronto is just that hospitable.
RAIN ALTERNATIVE: If at noon, it is raining and doesn’t appear to be about to stop, we’ll meet at Milano (325 King Street W) for billiards and chat. Email me to get my cell phone number in case there’s any doubt (please mention who you are and why you’re writing).
Saturday (July 13th) 7:00 PM - Montana’s (145 John Street)
- I’ll arrange to have a section (or most of one) upstairs set aside for our use, again under the name “SDMB.”
Sunday (July 14th) 11:00 AM - Movenpick (165 York Street)
- Reservation will be under “SDMB”
Anyone want to nominate any other potential attendees, or comment on the plans?
Not sure what’s going on, but the thread didn’t show up in chronological order in MPSIMS. 
Thanks for the info, Cerowyn. I’m in! (especially for the drunken debauchery bit…)
I’m not quite sure yet about Saturday during the day, I have a few things to sort out first. But I’ll definitely show up Saturday evening and Sunday, though.
