UncommonNonsense Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Oh man.... I'd love to come. I'll have to see what my work schedule is looking like... and the weather... and my accursed energy levels/pain levels. Toronto is about 2.5 hours away by car, and I'm very hesitant about driving in Toronto, but I'd still love to come... If anyone in the Stratford/New Hamburg/Kitchener/Waterloo area would like to carpool or share driving, I'm up for that. We'd share gas/parking costs, of course. Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Ice-Tea Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Sorry I won't be able to make this (I don't want to plan any trips until my employment situation is a bit more secure). I'm glad to hear you're expecting such good participation. I hope it goes great! Link to post Share on other sites
