Puros Y Vino Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Greetings Toronto FOH. If you haven't seen Rob's post about his upcoming travels please do so. He is in Toronto on the following dates: Sept 16 - 19. I'm looking to put together an event and will need to know how many are interested in joining. Ideally, we'd so something on a Sunday afternoon / evening as venues will be difficult and expensive to get on Saturdays. So set aside the Saturday Sep 17 orSunday Sept 18 date from noon onwards for this event. With that said, Rob has a few days in Toronto. If anyone else has any plans for getting him in trouble post it here or in your own thread. Now, on to business. It's Monday morning at work, so I'll be brief. I'm putting up a few polls to this thread that will help me plan. First off, who's coming? This is open to all Toronto, GTA, Ottawa, Montreal, etc FOH. Date preference: Saturday Sep 17 or Sunday Sep 18. (for those not in the Toronto area Sat might be a better choice) Once you've voted, please respond as well so I know who exactly is coming. And the most controversial. If the turnout looks like it will be high, we'll need to book a venue. That means there might be a rental cost. In this poll vote if you'd be willing to contribute to a fund to pay for that rent cost. I think $5 - $10 at the most. Possibly lower depending on the turnout. Anything above that is too much and if I can negotiate it down to zero, even better. But it would help to know if there's a willingness to assist. And rest assured, there is no profit motive in this for me. If anyone knows of a good venue, please send me your suggestions. We don't need anything fancy, but it should be able to accomodate us all and weather permitting, allow us to comfortable enjoy some cigars along with the company. Over the next week or two, I will be putting up addtional details in this thread. So check every few days or so. Cheers, Frank
pedromendes Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 My heart is broken - I'm not going to be in Toronto that weekend
str8dog Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 At this point, I have a Temagami canoe trip planned, but if that falls through, I'd join the herf!
riazp Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 i'd love to be there for sure, probably saturday would be better for me so I can drive back down to montreal on sunday...nothing set in stone but i'll see.

Hop on the Via, Business Class. They ply you with booze the whole way. I think Via has a 50% off sale right now too.
ckearns Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Frank, I'm in, good for either Saturday or Sunday and happy to help cover costs.

Puros Y Vino Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 you going to be my chauffer Frank? Alas no. Taxi cabs to and from. There will be alchohol and tobacco buzz aplenty for me that night.
riazp Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 ok, well i'm going to try my very best to be in toronto that weekend, and yes, I to am willing to help towards the costs.
CDNeh Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Frank, I'm good for either Saturday or Sunday and happy to help cover costs. Regards CDNeh
Diamondog Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I'm in, I think Saturday would be preferable for me, I can help with costs if need be...
IcedCanuck Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 My g/f just politely (not quite so) reminded me our anniversary is the 16th. Apparently she's got something planned that is going to last all weekend so I'm probably not going to be able to make it. If it's on a Sunday I might be able to possibly maybe make it.
kiwiman911 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I would love to be there but sunday would be better for me I would drive in sunday out on monday but might be tempted in comming sat just keep me posted and I will check in often and no problem for the cost..
maverickdrinker Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 either day is fine. happy to chip in to cover costs.
CigarmanTim Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Would you mind if a Buckeye came up and joined you?
Puros Y Vino Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Would you mind if a Buckeye came up and joined you? No problem! Anyone on the East Coast Canada or US is welcome!!
Maron76 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 You have room for a Detroiter as well? I promise not to loot and foul the place up too much CigarmanTim, are you planning on driving? Maybe we could meet up and make the trip together.
Puros Y Vino Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Room for all folks..room for all....Now I need to find a "room for all" . By all means, come on up , down , across, etc to Toronto. In week or so, I'll do a role call of interested parties and start hitting up the venues. We've got a bit of time but I want to get this locked down sooner or later.
Maron76 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Are there even any venues where we could smoke inside?
Diamondog Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Are there even any venues where we could smoke inside? There definately won't be any public venues to smoke inside, you haven't been able to smoke inside in a public place for about 15 years here...
Puros Y Vino Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Depite not being available for the Herf I will still contribute to the venue fund if needed. Great!! The Royal York it is!! Thanks Tom! Kobe steak for everyone!
riazp Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Great!! The Royal York it is!! Thanks Tom! Kobe steak for everyone! Nice! Thanks Tom!
tmac77 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Great!! The Royal York it is!! Thanks Tom! Kobe steak for everyone! I was thinking a bench outside city hall. I will chip in for a hot dog from one of the food trucks.
