Meet-Up! Toronto, Canada - Let's now poll a date - Page 2

Verencat · 07-12-2009, 12:37 PM

Looks like it's going to be a saturday morning...:sighs:

Expect me and hot lift with a LOT of coffee! It's a pity there's no time difference between Montréal and Toronto, at least we would have a headstart!

Oh, and Nick - coudn't you just drop the clingning baggage for a weekend?

Hurry up and vote; this poll closes in two days...

Will it result in a three-way tie for first...

nrapallo · 07-17-2009, 11:54 AM

I have to say I defected and switched my vote to Sat. Aug. 15th, 2009 at a later time perhaps 1:00pm to 2:00pm. This gives mid-August the upper hand, and the preferred/required one-month notice...

I'll keep you informed as to the final date & time....

Hope to see you there...

Aug 15'th at 1ish is great for me. Come back from vacation on the 14'th.

Verencat · 07-21-2009, 09:47 AM

So the poll is closed, and it seems that August 15th, around 1 PM won. Is it all set? Do we have a date? :sittingonthetipofherchairandtryingtohideherexcitm ent:

Good timing, Verencat!

It's just about set, as I already have discussed this with the other two members who chose Sat. Aug. 15th that 1:00pm (a later time) was better.

So the cat is out of the bag: Sat. Aug. 15th at 1:00pm at What a Bagel at the corner of Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave.

I'm about to prepare the "official" notice and then would need assistance of some friendly moderator
(

Verencat, your green! Whoa, talk about keeping good company...

Congrats!).

Hope to see you there, as well as the others that expressed interest before.

I'm almost certain I'll be there, the date works perfectly for me!

And I really wish many will come too, this is going to be great! Yay! Now if all of you could come to Montréal the week before... :sigh: it would be perfect!

This is right down the street from my new apartment, so I will be able to lug all my devices with me

My Sony Reader has flowers on it. How is that for incentive to come?

For me, the Sony (e-ink) Reader is incentive enough. I've got umpteen LCD/Backlit ebook reading devices, but not ONE e-ink device....

ficbot · 07-21-2009, 10:48 AM

I've got:
Alphasmart Dana (I don't read on it though)
Acer Netbook (Don't read on it, but could if I wanted to)
iPod Touch (read on it)
Sony Reader (read on it a LOT!)
Macbook (probably won't bring this, but I can if people want to see it)

.

that's because she's shipping herself to the Montreal meetup in a duffel bag replete with padding (Extra clothes) her reader, which just might be a Sony 700, a flashlight, extra batteries, and a small protable generator.

Dang! Forgot food and beverages! Time to repack! And where is the toothbrush?
