    O.K. Kitchener attendees let's liven up! Time is drawing near and I am ready to party with PJ.

    Is it too soon to start checking the extended weather forecast? (I need to know what to pack).

    I checked http://www.weather.com and the temp still seems to be around 75-80 for a high. Then it gets cooold at night. (I'm from SC- anything below 65 is cold.)

    Layers. Layers. Layers!!

    I'm just sad I can't bring my flipflops! Socks and shoes? What are those? :)

  • Personally I was hoping it would be colder. I was looking forward to getting away from the heat. Cold weather is great when you are just visiting. You dont have to deal with all of the difficulties it provides on a day to day basis (shoveling the car out, pipes freezing, driving, etc) In fact, most of my vacations are centered around trying to get away from the Texas heat in the summer (which usually lasts 6 months). I'll be in shorts and a T in Canada for sure.

    I'm coming from Alabama, it's been sooooo humid here that I'm sure it will feel like it's freezing in Canada. I waited too long to book at Walper, but I'll be staying across the street and will definitely be at the after party. Hopefully someone will watch to see that my drunken ass crosses the street safely back to my hotel.

    Besides clothes, toiletries, money, etc., what else is everyone bringing? Like..besides cameras... boom box? guitars? two-toed sloth?

    I'm just too damn excited I don't want to forget anything that I'd want to bring!

    rain jacket, passport or birth cert, if driving- a special ins. card, ibuprofen (or your pain/hang over medicine of choice), some boots if we are still thinking of the exchange idea, and I could go on and on and on. In fact, I keep a "vacation list" on the computer. I print it out and lay it beside the suitcase. As I pack something I check it off. I know.. sounds compulsive or neurotic or something.

    heh I'm exactly the same way, but don't keep a default list saved.

    Hmm... I thought Moose were to Canada like pigeons are to NYC :>

    True, perhaps I should change it to a longhorn and a 9 iron.

    C'mon people! It won't be that cold ;)

    We DO have electricity and HEATING up here you know :)

    Anyhow, we are inside the two week mark now. This is gonna be one hell of a party . . . .

    What time does the pre-party start? When the pub opens? 11am? :D

    My buddy and I will be getting to the hotel around 2 or 3pm (that's the plan at least). So we won't be down until a bit later to grab a quick bite, throw down a few pints, say hi to some of the names on this board and head to the show . . . are most people going to head down for when the doors open?

    Foxy Mop has posted the wine festival information in the Porch under the Official Kitchener thread. I think it starts at noon. Check out the other thread.

    P.S. I wish we could get all of the venue threads in Given to Fly.
