GeoffM is in TO as well, so hopefully he'll make it too. I enjoyed meeting Chip last time and hope he can join us, but I haven't heard a peep of of him in ages. I think he may have pulled a Penguinfan on us.

Anyhoo... I've been planning on starting a thread about this, but I'm waiting on MathBabe to get back to me with some details. I believe I will be involved in post-wedding things earlier in the day, so I'm not sure when we can get started. I know MB is planning on joining us, as well as her less than 24 hour husband, the MoH, and maybe even some other wedding peeps. I'm not sure.

I'll be staying at , and I'm hoping they will have a nice lobby/bar/whatever where we can get a game going. MB is supposed to call them and ask. If not there, I'm not really sure where we will play. We could always just do dinner and drinks, of course, but I think a couple of small buy in tourneys or a low limit cash game (or both) would be more fun.

As soon as I (or "we," if she comes here first) hear back from MB, I'll post more info.

Actually, I just looked around that site a bit more and found these pics of their lobby. This should do nicely, with a little furniture rearranging. As long as someone can bring chips, I don't think we'll have any problems (legality wise).

Hey, maybe we should play by the pool!

Yeah, the lobby doesn't look too bad. They may have a meeting room too that we may be able to get since it would be Sunday night. I know MB mentioned that she had chips, but we can easily throw our chips in the car with us as well, just in case .

Low buyin tourneys would be good too (actually, I'd prefer that over a small cash game, but I'm flexible).

I just checked the website - they do have meeting rooms - 16 of them all the way up to 4000 sq. m (whatever the hell that works out to in sq. ft). It says to email them for booking and pricing. Maybe if we're lucky, one of the hotel peeps will just be getting off their shift and happen to love poker...

EDIT: Do cards float??? Screw BY the pool...

Hey TP, rumour has it that when you land, there is a shot of Jaegar waiting for you in the bar at the hotel. I could throw a stone at that hotel and hit it from my desk.

Yeah? Sweet! I'm not sure what "other" plans I have on Thursday night and Friday yet, but maybe we can have a few drinks or something...

Sounds like a plan, I'll pm you my office #. My schedule is definately open Thursday, weekends are usually a whirlwind so not sure about Friday yet (something tells me I'm suppose to be heading out of town or something).

TP is DEFINITELY coming to Toronto. Nikki & I, unless something happens and TP is forced to cancel, are DEFINITELY driving up to Toronto on Sunday the 26th. So, yeah, it looks pretty solid.
