BTW it's the Playdium, not the Pallidium

 

[Asturiel]

How far is Toronto from Illinois...cause I'll go up there if I can...

It's about an 11 hour drive so.... Likely no.

No. I live three hours away from Toronto.

One guy was going from Kingston so perhaps you could get a ride with him. (If your so trusting)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw

I so wish I could go. But I'm ultra busy and can't make it. I hope you guys have fun

I drove 12 hours from Illinois to Tennessee...I don't see it being a problem.

Well if your willing to do that much driving, join the group so we can add you as one of the peoples who can go.

 

[leviathanmisha]

I'd be willing to go, but when is it? I have to plan around college stuffs...

Could we make it a Fan Expo after party? like meet at MTC at 7 when Expo closes then hang out?

I don't know what any of those words mean.
Are you saying you want to go to the Ex?

Fan Expo is the nerd convention at the MTC (Metro Toronto Convention Centre) right by the Roger's Centre (skydome) and the CN tower (the big thing). I'm suggesting that all the escapists meet there after the convention for an after party like sushi or something.

I hate seafood.

I hate seafood.

Likely just means get food and stuff. Though that doesn't seem like such a hot idea to me...

OP Updated with my real recommendation!
Vote for where we should go in the User Group chat area!
We need to nail down the location so we can start the harder process of nailing down the 'when'!

 

[BillyShakes]

Hmph. I don't actually think I'll be able to go, as I live in Cambridge and lack a license and a car.
I would take a Greyhound, but I'm already taking a significant trip on one at the beginning of the month, and I doubt I'll be able to come up with the money.
Sorry, BTea.

 

[Asturiel]

Bumpedy bump.

Lets see if we can get anyone interested through this.

The event will take place on July the 31st 2010. We will be going to The Playdium in Missisagua (I think?) For about 1pm to roughly 5pm. Then we will go out to dinner.

It will be happy funtimes and such, you should totally go!

The OP has been updated with our plans!
If you're coming, join the group and let me know!

It's appreciated Sky, we had it mentioned in the original OP, but Baby Tea edited it and forgot. Also, what if we withold the photos for only Canadian Escapists? Hmmm?

MWAHAHAHAHAHA
But seriously the photos will be shown

 

[Carbonel]

I will definitely be there.

 

[Asturiel]

I will definitely be there.

Good to hear, please mention this in the group, it's where Baby Tea is keeping track of it.

 

[TimeLord]

I would be there if it wasn't for 3 very big and important reasons.

1)I live about 6000 miles away

2)I have no money

3)I am busy organising TARDIS Crew 2011 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-TARDIS-crew]

That's some nice pictures there BT, I really should have got more of Escapism UK at the Trocadero, but I was too busy on MVC.
