So any word on preferences? Looks like the strike's going to be over by the end of this week, so beaches should be free and clear, if that's more anyone's thing.

Still waiting on opinions from everybody but Fred & SCD. Course, this isn't nearly the rush that figuring out accommodations was.

Okay, let me narrow it down a bit.

This
Fort York
or
Toronto Chinatown Festival 2009
could be combined with this
Shakespeare in High Park
or
Ballet in the Park
.

This
The Art gallery of Ontario
and this
The Toronto Zoo
seem like all-day affairs. But then again, we'll be with Mongrel and Koipond, whom I'm sure know their way around the city, and thus we can avoid unnecessary schlepping. We could probably fit in the Shakespeare or ballet, since those are evening events. Unless you guys would rather go to a restaurant or something...

The trail hike... ehhhh. It's an okay suggestion for one or two people, but more than three and you're edging into the Bataan Death March. Especially if it's a humid day.

No CNE or Centre Park. Could be costly. Could have carnival food. Thumbs down.

Anyone else got ideas?

Well, I expect a retaurant will figure into saturday, since people will want to, you know, eat.

I've given up trying to pin this down in advance. I figure we can all vote on it on Saturday morning. Or maybe Friday night, though Geo and Fort won't be there until Saturday morn.

No CNE or Centre Park. Could be costly. Could have carny folks. They have small hands and smell like cabbage. Thumbs down.

Oh I also had another couple of hilariously cheesy ideas: LOCAL SPORTS TEAM (unlikely), or CN TOWER TOURIST TRAP (doesn't take the whole day).

Only if you enjoy someone in the throes of acrophobia clutching your leg like a baby panda.

I just hope the weather's cool and dry like yesterday, and not humid and stormy like today.

Alright, I'm still game, but going black for the unforseable future, most likely until the friday before the trip. 

I've sent IM my cell number.  I am game, and am flexible once I arrive, most likely friday night.

Been hurtin' over havin' to say it, but chances are I'm thoroughly out of this.  Looks like I can pick up a job cooking that weekend and I'm not in a spot to turn down work.

BTW, if anybody wants decent pictures, well, uh, better bring a better camera than the utterly shitty one I've got!

Actually, if we only get the chance to watch one movie this Friday, I want to show you guys Black Belt Jones, if only for the fact that you cannot obtain a copy on DVD (I had to have one ripped one from my VHS tape - And I totally would've bought a legal copy too LOL!).
