Toronto GCA December Gathering

Now that's funny! I assumed, Dick, that the project is winding down and you might, rightfully so, have some free time. I guess I was wrong -- what are you working on?

« **Reply #26 on:** November 20, 2007, 08:49:01 PM »

I have another project, we are going through the site plan approval process.
Hope to be building by next fall.
I would rather be pushing dirt than pushing a pencil.

Have a good time at your outing.

Robert,

Congratulations on coming out.......

At least it's not his ousting. (Yet?)

« **Reply #29 on:** November 21, 2007, 03:30:14 PM »

Mr. Guy: Are you joining us?

« **Reply #30 on:** November 21, 2007, 04:03:56 PM »

It's pencilled in. We have a busy couple of weeks ahead, but I think I can make it.

« **Reply #31 on:** November 28, 2007, 09:32:43 PM »

Looks like we can expect:

Me.
Ian
Wayne K.
Gerry B
Ben CD
Evan Smith
Matt McKay
Paul Stephenson
Peter Pallotta
Guy Nicholson
Chris Parker

Still uncertain:

Mingay
Philippe

(there are also a couple of non-GCAers who have asked to join us)

Please send me an IM or post here if you're not on the list. I'll call a couple of days before the event to nail down some space for all involved. Usually it is dinner, followed by drinks and debates.

John Gall will also be there too.

I'm hoping Jeremy and Yannick decide to come down.

« **Reply #33 on:** November 28, 2007, 11:22:04 PM »

Jeremy and Yannick won't be heading this way....

« **Reply #34 on:** December 02, 2007, 08:40:18 AM »

Robert,

I don't know about Jeremy and will find out tomorrow, but I am seriously considering joining you guys. It's still on saturday, right?

I'll let you know as soon as possible.

It seems like this is set in stone, but unfortunately Sunday would only work for me.

Hopefully I will see some of you guys soon.

« **Reply #36 on:** December 02, 2007, 09:44:14 PM »

You're a pathetic excuse for a moderator, BCD! Can't even make drinks with the lads.

We'll still be there for a few hours on Sunday, won't we Rob?...

« **Reply #38 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:52:45 PM »

Indeed we will -- looks like we're expecting between 10 and 15 guys. I'll book us a spot at the restaurant -- the last two times we've been downstairs.

The place is at the corner of Queen and Kingston Rd just outside the Beaches:

1702 Queen Street East
Toronto, ON, Canada
(416) 690-5516

We just had three visitors from Quebec -- Yannick, Mr. Glenn and Philippe confirm. So we'll have a find crowd!

Robert,

Personally I would like to go there earlier than 7:30.

If the three lads from Montreal would like to meet earlier - I would be happy to meet them then.

If I can organize myself on Thursday - there may be an architecture quiz that night - I think I even have an appropriate prize to hand out too.

« **Reply #40 on:** December 05, 2007, 08:32:30 AM »

IA: You are personally welcome to go down as early as you'd like. I'll get there with the lad from Peterborough. But that way you can secure a table and a sensible area to allow the fighting to begin! I'll book it under your name then....

« **Reply #41 on:** December 05, 2007, 12:24:55 PM »

Yannick and I are planning to leave Montreal around noon Saturday, which means we should be there by 6pm. We'll be staying right next door at the luxurious Day's Inn Resort & Spa...

We'll see you fine folks then.

Ian, if you're there before 7:30pm, give me a holler (you've got my cell #, right?). Congratulations on the Best New Award, BTW. Richly deserved, I'm sure.

« **Reply #42 on:** December 05, 2007, 05:55:16 PM »

I've been out west all week; stuck in British Columbia right now, and not sure when I'll be catching a plane back to T.O. (hopefully Friday, at the latest).

I'm going to try to make it though.

« **Reply #43 on:** December 06, 2007, 10:00:06 PM »

A quiz???

Bring it on, man! I'm ready!

« **Reply #44 on:** December 07, 2007, 10:29:38 AM »

I'll be coming from Buffalo and who knows what the border will be like. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get there around 8pm, but I can't promise anything.

« **Reply #45 on:** December 07, 2007, 01:16:32 PM »

I won't be there by 7:30, but I will be there.

The time depends on a certain 2 year old.

« **Reply #46 on:** December 07, 2007, 02:44:33 PM »

I almost was able to coordinate a visit there to join the group. My mission to the area is delayed until later. But, I hope Peter will stand in my place and ask some interesting O.T. questions that should only take a few minutes of otherwise valuable pub and grub GCA scintillating conversation. Have fun gents!

« **Reply #47 on:** December 07, 2007, 03:13:18 PM »

Ian Andrew told me he'll be there between 6 and 7. The reservation will be under my name as well as Ian. I'll ask about setting it up in the basement as we have in past instances.

« **Reply #48 on:** December 07, 2007, 04:31:02 PM »

Yannick, Jeremy and Phillipe,

I will be at Murphy's Law for 6:30 on Saturday - my son has a 7:00am hockey game Sunday.

Others:

The quiz is a go - I haven't done it yet - but I will tonight.
I have a limited edition lithograph of Alister MacKenzie on the line for the winner. It will be a visual golf architecture quiz.

« **Reply #49 on:** December 07, 2007, 04:40:14 PM »

With deep regret, I can't make it.

Try to have fun without me... and, don't get Philippe going re Sagebrush
