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. end of original post ------------------ Please Click Daily Animal Rescue IP: Logged FlyByNight Posts: 260 From: YYZ - DL Platinum Medallion/Million Miler; AC Elite; UA Prem Exec Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-07-2003 08:56 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept 27 works for me.....

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. ------------------ Latitudes. 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.

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!

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 ------------------ Please Click Daily Animal Rescue IP: Logged FlyByNight Posts: 260 From: YYZ - DL Platinum Medallion/Million Miler; AC Elite; UA Prem Exec Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-08-2003 08:32 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Latitudes: Sept 27 work for me too, though the earlier the better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- perhaps those that are available earlier might have dinner first?

I will probably just be able to do drinks that night, maybe you'll all be liquored up when I arrive. IP: Logged bbybear Posts: 20 From: Toronto, Canada.

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?

One thing for sure, by the sound of it, any get-together initiated by MapleLeaf should be coded RED as 'potentially scary or dangerous'.

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 ------------------ Please Click Daily Animal Rescue IP: Logged craigstar Posts: 24 From: Toronto, ON Marriott Platinum (2003), HH Diamond (2002), NWA Silver (2002).

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.

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 ------------------ Please Click Daily Animal Rescue IP: Logged Toronto1970 Posts: 105 From: YYZ Registered: Oct 2002 posted 09-18-2003 10:00 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by MapleLeaf: As for drinks - last time was Babylon, never been to Byzantium, so I vote we try for that - something new and all.

Spraypainted on the boards is "Closed for renovations. Reopening early October". So we need a plan B.

As I am only 50/50 for going to this, I will defer to others to pick the final location. Won't know for sure if I will be there until Saturday.
