Oops, I posted the wrong date before. Rather than create confusion, thought I would start a correct thread here.
original post
A few people have suggested drinks or something in YYZ on the rollcall forum. I noticed that Latitudes is in town that night as well.
Should we do drinks that night - Babylon or Byzantium? I am having dinner with an old friend so can't make it too early, unless of course he would be willing to come along.
Say 9:30 ish in the gaybourhood? If enough people express interest, I will put it in the community forum as well.
Only other options for me would be 20Sep or 13Sep.

Sept 27 work for me too, though the earlier the better. I won't be able to stay out too late for a couple of reasons.
One is that my hostess will be waiting up for me and the other is that I will more than likely be jet-lagged after having flown almost non-stop from SIN that day.
Since I prefer older men, perhaps MapleLeaf can talk his old friend into coming along.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

I think I can make it, although I'm a little fearful of how the evening will go, given what happened the LAST time I went to Babylon with Mapleleaf! ;-)

It was your idea to pick-up Indian cuisine... no-one elses.

I have no qualms over my choice of cuisine for the evening. It was the amount of alcohol I injested, and the fact that I can barely remember what happened after I left you guys, that kind of scares me. Those Babylon martini's are deadly!

Count in FlyerAl... I just emailed him to tell him he is buying a round of drinks, or 2, for everyone in attendance. He is currently on vacation from FT so he can't comment otherwise

perhaps those that are available earlier might have dinner first?

Nobody has posted anything here for a few days!
I will probably just be able to do drinks that night, maybe you'll all be liquored up when I arrive.

I'd like to join up as well. The 27th shouldn't be a problem - hopefully I'll be in town.
So, has it been decided yet? Byz or Babylon, drinks and/or dinner?

Are you sure it's just the martini or is there something else? One thing for sure, by the sound of it, any get-together initiated by MapleLeaf should be coded RED as 'potentially scary or dangerous'.

Well I am in for drinks only. If other folks want to meet for dinner, no problem I will meet up with them later.
As for drinks - last time was Babylon, never been to Byzantium, so I vote we try for that - something new and all. Barring that, we could go to chez Craigstar for drinks

I'm game for Byz. Is 9:30 good for everyone?

Argh! I just (finally) looked at the calendar, and September 27th is the second night of Rosh Hashana. As much as I would LOVE to blow off a big family dinner for drinks at Byz, my mother would split me in two. I can probably meet up with you guys after 11 though.

Toronto_1970, 11 or later should be fine. If it is anything like the last time, we will still be there. Oh yeah, bring your credit card, I am still trying to pay off the debt from the last time

I just walked by Byz tonight, and it's all boarded up. Spraypainted on the boards is "Closed for renovations. Reopening early October".
So we need a plan B.

Plan B for me is either Hair of the Dog or Babylon - depending on what one prefers.
