Due to popular request I have asked the bus to come at 6:30pm, however the company was not sure if it could be done. They will put in a request to the driver. Usually the bus will arrive 15 minutes before the time anyways, so they were planning on 6:45. In either case we should plan on meeting at 6:30 for a prompt departure at 6:45 to satisfy all those itching for an earlier arrival.
Latest List:
MJalbers (2)
jburman (2)
Dokta P (1)
Futronic (1)
Klymkev (3)
Stefania (2)
MLV/JC (2)
Grossie (2)
Wine+ art (1)
Emilio (2)
TBird (4)
Longboarder (1)
Asterixis (1)
Gigabit (1)
Tanglenet (2)
Steve8 (2)
Pinotlvr (2)
Thirsty Man
Dannyk (2)
Redknife (2)
Roentgen Ray (2)
Ktf (2)
That still holds us at 39, or $28 per person. We'll probably pick up or lose one or 2 between now and then (French16 & wife might join us, and Mrs Grossie might actually drive up to Otis's due to babysitter issues, although I will still take the magic bus), so our number isn't completely firm. I would expect a nice round $30 per person would work well.
Two thoughts... I'm glad there will be a brilliant Cowboy fan on this bus with me, and do not really care if french16 makes the bus, but I do hope his bride makes the bus!  |

Are you guys trying to confuse me because I'm from Quebec? Asterixis is on the list (a little farther down), as are you and Futronic. So, are there 3 or 4 in the Toronto contingency? W+a- it goes without saying that F16 must bring his better half. She's the only reason our hockey team puts up with F16's Tiger Balm odor!

Not looking good for next year either.

Grossie, listen to me, not Dok. It's 3 for Toronto. Leave it to the IT person to give straight answers as opposed to those in the medical profession!

Pickup time isn't confirmed, but let's make it 6:30pm at the Renaissance. Worst case scenario involves opening a few bottles of Stefania while we wait.

Don't ask, don't tell. If this is a limo company that was hired, the bus/company might have a liquor license.
