well i think she'l be fine place looks like its gona be packed, dont think they will ID at door
they didn't card at the door last time. as long as she looks old enough, she should be good. i went to the pre-show last time with my buddy who's a year older than me, but looks only 16, and he drank without being carded, so she should be good.
I would like to meet up with you guys, however, this is only going to be my second time in Toronto and the last time I was there, I was like 7. So i really don't know where or how to get to anything.... actually I don't even know how I'm getting from the airport to.. well.. anywhere.
However, If I can find the place I will be there!!!
If you love someone, set them free.
If someone loves you, don't fuck up.

Just use that map - if you can find the venue, you'll have no problem finding the bar!

A taxi from the airport to downtown will probably cost you $50 or more.
Another way out of the airport is on GO Transit. There is a bus stop at Terminal 2 (i think!) where you can catch a bus to York Mills Bus Terminal ($4). From there, you can take the subway downtown to Union Station ($2.50).
im in the same boat as you...lost...but if worst comes to worst just jumpin a cab and say loose moose...i think we'll be alright.
how are you gettin to toronto? driving, flying?

I'm flying up on the 9th and coming back on the 12th.. you?
You have a good plan though, that's prolly what will end up happening, just jumping in a cab and screaming PEARL JAM!!!!

i live on T.O., so i've never stayed at either of these places, but:
i think im going to fly in on the 8th and leave on the 12th
canjet has a special on for moncton to toronto for $99.00 so i guess the price is right.
do u know whereyour staying yet?
I'm considering this if my other plans fall through, but it seems a bit weird to share a room with 5 other strangers.
yeah it seems strange but there must be double rooms...i hope
cause i want to stay in toronto for that week from monday-friday and a hotel would hit the wallet pretty hard...

Fuck the royal york..stay at http://www.dayshoteltoronto.ca/ its less then half the price and has all you need. Its only 5 subway stops(5-10 min) or a $10 cab ride. Its is also close to many toronto attractions
Toronto 96, Barrie 98, Toronto 00, Toronto 03, Ottawa 05, Toronto 05, Toronto 06, Toronto 06, Denver 06, Denver 06, Chicago 07, New York 08, New York 08...I'm just getting started
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE...we're flying in from Philly Monday night..any suggestions on some cool places to check out on Tuesday and Wednesday. I would love to see some local artwork (no commercial/"hot spots") and def need a place for beers...I would love to meet some of you pre show if that's all right too. Thanks! I'm so ready for the shows to start!
the AGO is great - and just north of queen street so it's in the walking loop for the downtown core
(I believe they still have some Raymond Pettibon stuff on display - a total must see - one of my favourites)
you can also head up to yorkville (get off at the museum station on the subway line and walk north on university/avenue road) - there are a lot of smaller galleries on yorkville and scollard
there used to be quite a few galleries on queen west of bathurst but that area's changed so much I'm not sure anymore
if you have time you should head to the science center - nothing really to do with art but a pretty cool day
there's always something going on here and there are little free brochures all over the place (hotel lobby - airport) - pick up a free NOW or EYE magazine as well - they list most of the showings and plays etc etc
we're all sentient snowflakes

the nothing ventured - the nothing feigned
the bathrooms were horrid (I was one of the first people there so it wasn't because of ALL the people) there were 5 people in there when I got there and the bathrooms were so disgusting it looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a week
the service was horrible... our waitress was very rude
we ordered food and after an hour of waiting, and getting nothing... not even the waitress coming over to check on us, we left
we found a really nice sports bar with an outside patio that was filled with PJ people and they were playing the garden DVD... very nice place
I wasn't really COMPLAINING in my original post about it... just disapointed. Toronto is a beautiful city with really nice bars. Just didn't think this one would be picked again. I'll find my way back to that sports bar
it wasn't that bad - and as far as bathrooms go in toronto bars it was OK
just pop by on your way and buy a bracelet or make a donation
you probably went to gretzky's - the GM there was going to really limit our access with the CCFC stuff - didn't really want anybody trying to "sell" things in the bar even though it was for charity (you guys have to remember we have to clear all this with the bar first and stick to THEIR rules)
the loose moose didn't really believe me when I said we would pack the place and were scrambling for staff - i think they'll know better this year
and in the end (especially if you happened upon the DUMP SHITHOLE ROTHOUSE in HAMILTON last year) it's for Crohns and Mike and a chance for us to all get together anywhere
a patio would be nice but it's not just a matter or picking a bar - it's having the bar give you access to their patrons and let you take over for a couple of hours

You can crawl drunk if you had to - it's that close!
Just walk down York St and you can get in on that side too.

dorm rooms are cheap, and from the photos appear to be clean and nice.
private rooms at a hostel will run you almost as much as a hotel room...
both a far cry from the Royal York though!!
canjet has a special on for moncton to toronto for $99.00 so i guess the price is right.
do u know whereyour staying yet?
And yeah thats the same price for tickets from here aswell, isn't it great!
