Milestones, MLL or even good ol' Arizona by YYZ on Monday, and I m there.
We even had one at Moxies near YYZ previously, but that was during patio season.

Not that I'm advocating for downtown, but is it really going to be that bad on Christmas week? Won't most people be not working?

I'm glad I don't need to go downtown at all while I'm there.

For the YYZ area or nowhere else crowd is there any compromise?
Would Gabby's Grill and Tap on Bloor near Royal York be better or worse? It is about 25 minutes from YYZ on the TTC and won't require any travel on the Gardiner. For those on the West End I'm open to other locations on Bloor West if that's better than Yonge Corridor. Of course it does mean that you're subjecting everyone not on transit from the east-end to go through the worst of the Gardiner mess through rush hour.

That's why I was proposing Yonge St corridor to avoid the Gardiner, but apparently that's not better than downtown. I won't have a car on Monday so would prefer not to pick somewhere that is effectively inaccessible to me. I don't really think that the 401 should be that bad on the holiday week, but know Yonge can be a little congested.

I am flexible, just offering preferences. Pick something along the 427 close to Bloor/Queensway and you should be fine for both the YYZ crowd and the driving/TTC crowd.

PS, that's west enough from the GTA that i'd be glad to make it there, provided I have no last minute holiday stuff!

Suggestion
Maybe someone can either do a summary (paging google docs !!!!!) or up top like I'm in the MLL thread
Show 2 dates and 2 locations and you can put your name under the date location that best works. If it's enough for 2 diff nights, then everyone can decide if they can make one or both. It makes it easier - kind of like you guys did for the micro-dos. just a suggestion
Dec 21 (or 22) at/near YYZ (ef. Milestone's or other)
Dec 21 (or 22) at/near Yonge-Sheppard
