Toronto Charas Meetup

[Zerlina]

It is a definite possibility that our purple, Swedish charasian may be in Toronto this December!

I know there are (or were) a couple of you around Ontario, and possibly some who may want to come into the city for a vacation. Thought I'd put the feelers out there and see who would be interested in taking advantage of this and having a Charas meetup. Depending on how far away people are coming from we can determine the length of the meetup.

For those of you who are geographically challenged, Toronto is here:


It's quite close to the U.S. Border for any Americans that might want to come in (it's about 2hrs from the Niagra border). It's about a 10hr drive or 1hr flight from Manhattan. Since I know some of you live in nearby states to each other maybe you could do a carpool?

For those in Europe, it is a 6 hr flight from Paris if I remember correctly.

If there's serious interest I'd be willing to try to find deals around the city (have some hookups with some tour companies) for us to do fun things on the cheap.

So who's up for it?

[Archem]

Not a chance. That's a long drive from Houston, and I don't really have the funds to pull it off, so it's a no-go for me.

Be sure to take lots of pictures!

[Natako]

Hmmm...Need to think about this. I'll probably be vacationing in Canada this December, but we'll see. I don't do so well when it comes to huge social gatherings. >.>

[Cerebus]

Which means that I would be there, too. But we'll indeed see considering I also don't do so well when it comes to huge social gathering...

[A Forgotten Legend]

Hm... when in December?

[Moosetroop11]

I'd love to do it so much, and it's just the price that would stop me.  All the way from England is a bit of a trek...

Having said that, I'm not writing it off completely.  Depending on how many people are up for it, I might sell a kidney or something.

[Meiscool]

Michigan is near there... I might.
Then again, no one likes me.

[Archem]

I especially don't like you. Thank goodness I won't be there, so I run zero risk of being in-contact with you.

I like you.

*Hugs*

[fruckert]

Yeah, sorry, I won't be able to.
Sadly, because otherwise **** yeah.
It's just a bit of a drive from the west coast.

Also Moose, if it comes down to it, you should follow the googlemaps directions and take a kayak across the ocean. If you set off now, you might reach North America by December. XD

[Natako]

I'm seriously considering going to this, but I'll need to know the dates far in advance so I can plan when to take my vacation from work. My job requires a 30-day notification and days off around the holidays can often be hard to get because other people snatch them up first. So yeah...if this goes down, I need dates.

[Prpl_Mage]

Well, the time set for my trip is the 18 november to the 1-2 of december so to speak. I think I mentioned that earlier. And yeah, I doubt it would be a huge social gathering. Feels like we'll only attract those who live near.

I might sound stupid being all European and all. But why are people considering driving to Toronto rather than flying?

[Natako]

Because airfare costs an arm and a leg. Sure, the gas in your tank is expensive, but driving is still much cheaper than flying.
