Thank you John for organizing this gathering.
Here after it will be known as the "Gathering of the Foot-clans."

My gf and I were planning a vacation that sort of fell through. that's why I haven't been participating in organizing this.

We have decided to go to Montreal Aug 23-26. We would love to have a guided tour from one of the Montrealers... and bring one of you back for the Gathering. -it would be a one way trip.... On Sunday we are driving back to Toronto so technically you could get a trip to there as well then greyhound.

Sad face, Greg. I was looking forward to kicking with you again. Hopefully I see you at another tourny soon!

Also Johnny, Ian isnt coming because he still hates you for smearing cupcake in his face... Also something about being stuck in VT and having a messed up leg, but mostly the cupcake thing.

What time are ppl arriving? I was thinking about coming up Friday night sometime.

First post updated with this information.

http://g.co/maps/3z4u
^^ map with some key locations.

625 Elias Street - home base use SIDE entrance to left of house marked 625 1/2 plz
McMahon Park is a spot we can kick that is close to home base.
Carling Heights Community Centre- our rain venue however, weather permitting I would much rather be at...
Victoria Park- This is our main shred location for Saturday. We'll be kicking by the band-shell in the centre of the park.

For everyone planning to show up Friday night point your GPS to 625 Elias Street, London, Ontario, N5W3N5.

The schedule so far is pretty tentative so if you're going to be showing up in the middle of the day saturday or something like that, you would be better off calling me at 519-771-3230 or emailing john.suderman@gmail.com. I'll have my phone on and with me at all times.

I would spend some time making a more rigid schedule, but chances are it wouldn't be accurate and everything would run late. However I would imagine events will start no later than 6pm, sat. I would much rather just go with the flow and do what everyones into at the moment. Kapeesh? When in doubt call me.

Thanks guys and gals!

Friday night is a good time to come. So far I've only heard from Manna as to when he is coming-- early Friday. Let me know when you know though!

Sad I can't see you soon Kingston!

Communicate, people!

Is there parking?

Dio · Post by **Dio** » 23 Aug 2011 20:53

I'm thinking about coming in on Friday afternoon for shred but driving home in the evening - my parents are getting back that night from a trip and will need the car I'll have for Sunday. Then on Saturday morning I can take another car back to London for the day and maybe crash somewhere?

Can't wait to see everyone!

You have a portable stereo right johnny? just wondering if i should bring mine.

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 25 Aug 2011 17:58

Will be arriving Sat afternoon, and can stay over but have to leave early early, like 8 or 9am b/c of a gig.
So if I arrive at say, 2pm, is it safe to assume you'll all be at Victoria if the weather's nice?
