Okay, so this is what we know:

1) Nikki & I will bring poker chips.
2) We still need a place to play
3) I *think* there's tentative plans for a Sunday dinner somewhere - again nothing too expensive (around $20/pp is max)
4) TP said something about buying beer

We still need to co-ordinate meetup times and such. Nikki & I have the day cleared so our schedule is completely flexible.

I've been trying to get MathBabe and company to give me some sort of idea about the Sunday schedule and what tiome I should tell you guys, but with limited success. I hate to make you guys wait until the last minute to know any better, but I may not get good answers until I see them fact to face and shake it out of them.

For now, let's assume we'll meet up at my hotel in the 5 or 6 PM neighborhood, and head out for dinner/drinks at one of the local pubs. That should be easy enough, right? Then we can go back to the hotel and play some poker in the lobby for a couple of hours or however long we see fit. From the pictures, I think that will suffice.

Who else is coming? Is it just Robb and Nikki? That's fine, of course, but the more the merrier. Geoff? Mayhem - you know you want to. Unknown Adam? Anyone else?

For those that are coming and NOT taking mass transit, I think the best, closest place to park (other than paying $25 at the hotel) is the Toronto Parking Authority Carpark at the corner of Yonge & Dundas. It's about two blocks south of the hotel. All day is a max of $14.

5 or 6 sounds good for supper and then poker afterward is great.

We may head up earlier and do some window shopping and people watching. I haven't strolled Yonge in YEARS. (I *think* the last time was when I went to see Phil Collins in concert for his Dance With The Light tour)

Gonna totally play up the whole Joe Tourist thing

Sunday is a definite no-no for me, but I am free on Thursday or Friday. I live close to 2 hours from the city and coming out Sunday with a scheduled 8am client insurance program renewal meeting probably isn't the brightest thing for my career.

How about Thursday or Friday though TP? I'll definately be around.

Friday won't work for me, but Thursday may... well, Thursday late afternoon, anyway. I won't be able to stay long (other friends arriving, etc), but I'd like t oat least get together for a couple of drinks.

Monday night may be an option for me too (I don't leave until Tuesday). I just don't know yet, and probably won't until then.

TP, Thursday name a time, I'm sure I can slip out of the office around 4:30 ish, would be good to have a few.
Monday, well, same thing, would be good to have a few .

Edited to add: Would be real nice to have a few both days, believe it or not, haven't drank much lately...tell you about it later, I got some rather erotic texts from the new girl , so have been rather tame (according to what my close buddies have seen) lately.

Let's shoot for 5:00ish in the lobby of my hotel. I'll keep you posted on my progress with text messages.
