As for Toronto, and people who would enjoy coming, we have not yet worked things out. Hopefully within 1 conversation we can have some details for anyone willing to come.

I can personally say however, I would not be able to lend any crash space.

I would offer crash space, but It's pretty useless considering its an hour west of toronto.

I can offer crash space for a couple people, and I think Camille can do the same.

Pm me if you need it!

We're planning, and we need to know exactly who would be willing to come out for Saturday->Sunday. Friday doesn't seem to be an option for crash space.

Between Camille, and Adam there will be roughly spots for 4/5 people to "crash". I wont speak for Tom Mosher, but he is a possibility as well.

As for the venue, we are trying to set up a "good" place. Obviously with the, tight time constraints this is all pretty rushed. If worst comes to worst, the Bahen Center will work.

OH MY GOD.

i'm not sure if john has seen this thread.

"One man from Finland on a journey of fellowship unites a nation under the banner of freestyle...welcome to Wontontario 2009!"

Greg man, where you gunaa sleep bro, it's cold outside? haha

I have a couple potential places for people to stay! I'll figure that out and check back.

Oh and this explains how I feel:

i will bring my cardboard box & live by the science of the streets.

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 13 Jan 2009 15:09

Sweet sweet!!

Make sure to be there.......for both sessions for maximum enjoyment.

All of those who wish to crash downtown-ish will/should go out for some beverages after we're done sessioning. I have a couple good places we can go, depending on everyone's mood.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 13 Jan 2009 16:27

Jay - how come you only list food as the 'schedule'?

I'm game to be a part of the fun, obviously.

I even have crash space, though it's in Oakville.

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 13 Jan 2009 17:36

Im interested in drinks afterwards! I doubt I'll stay overnight though. Sort of conflicting agendas... bleh. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 13 Jan 2009 19:59

For the record I have a big empty house during the time that Anssi is in town, so if any Kingstoners or even Anssi himself need a place to crash that would be fine.

Also Anssi, I would be able to make you feel right at home in my sauna! hehe

Though the main benefit if you did stay here a night or two is that it's much easier/cheaper to get into Toronto than being stuck in Hamilton which is sorta awkward to travel to/from via transit.

Also, I never really know what days I may have off work, but I'd love to take you to see some more interesting natural stuff, perhaps take a hike along the beautiful Niagara Escarpment, there are hundreds of natural waterfalls. I heard you want to see Niagara Falls, we can do that and maybe the same day go and hike a trail and see some of the less known but still totally epic waterfalls.

Just throwing some ideas out there.

Oh yeah! And some hackysacking probably!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 14 Jan 2009 07:27

I may have just found us the perfect venue. Its a little bit far from downtown (but still only 10-20 minutes by car or subway) and has everything we need. It isn't free, but if everyone is willing to throw down $5-10 as a venue cost, it will be well worth it.

Nothings 100% on this yet, but lets just say its looking like a winner.

Also, I need a new bag! If any stitcher wants to bring along any pre-made bags they may have in stock, we may be able to orginize a transaction.

We really need to know who is coming from far and who needs crash space, just so I know if getting this venue is even worth it for the number of people we have. (I can just assume most of the sounthern ontario crew will be there)

People so far (tell me if you want to be added/removed

Suderman, are you a surgeon or a lawyer in your spare time? Always so busy. I hope I can fit in some shreddies with you!

I know this has been said, but, THIS IS INSANE! I think I partly made this happen in my head. Yep, I'm totally convinced I did. Just last week I tried to get a bunch of people in Toronto for a small jamberoony. Only Greg, Adam, and I showed, which was still crazy fun. After, though, we all made an agreement to PULL everyone together to form a crazy scene just like this. Of course we didn't physically do anything, but c'mon, our mind powers were at work. Uhuh..

CANADA UNITE! (with Anz and America)

Can I come to...? lol!

I would be forever great-full for some space to crash in!

wheres Tor on toe?

south?

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 14 Jan 2009 17:04

This is crazy.

I have crash space... could prolly fit about 6 people in my living room.
Though if you have friends in the city I'd recommend trying to stay with one of them first, it will be pretty packed here.

What sucks is that I may not even be able to shred with everyone... My job offers me work sorta last minute and I really can't afford to turn down any shifts. So far that weekend is free but that will likely change.

But either way, I will party with ya'll after work and people can still crash, guaranteed.

Jay... you're hilarious.
Not sure if I'll be around on Saturday or not, but if so, can I request that we NOT eat at Johnny Rockets? It's hella pricey! And not even worth it! There's so many better places in the area too.

Anyway, I'm lookin forward to seeing you all! Woo! Shred ONtario!

jay7 · Post by **jay7** » 14 Jan 2009 17:14

Jorden wont be attending.

Also, the foods listed above is for Anssi only, sorry if that caused some confusion

footbagi · Post by **footbagi** » 14 Jan 2009 18:37

No food?

What is this?

james · Post by **james** » 15 Jan 2009 04:53

just have to figure out if any of the montrealers are going to be driving down...if not I will check for buses...can't promise anything, but last minute stuff is still fun!
