I'm from around Yorkdale but I gotta pick up Chaumeow from downtown so I can really pick up people in most part of Toronto.

Oh I forgot to mention, I didn't abandon the bubble tea idea. If people feel like they can still drink more stuff after all you can eat. We can still go for bubble tea after

Keep an eye on the weather forecasting on that date...

Sifo · « **Reply #156 on:** Fri, 08 February 2013, 19:41:23 »

Haha there were so many people waiting for shuttle buses, most people just decided to walk or go to a nearby restaurant.

None of these pics were mine so I'm all good, like I said I just went out to grab a bite and I was like wtf why are there so many people. Snow's dying down though

By the way I bought 2 blue set and 1 blank set. I'm thinking to maybe keep 1 blue set myself and sell the other 2. If any of you guys are interested in getting them off me then let me know and I'll bring them on the day of the trip

Sifo · « **Reply #171 on:** Sat, 09 February 2013, 20:11:42 »

I might buy another blank set. I have one coming but I have more boards coming too

Well if we are in Mississauga, most of my contacts live in TO somewhere. Depends if I can find a place to park for the night, and then make it to dinner without any need to drive.

Man that storm was crazy, I still decided to drive down to see my SO anyways down by St. Catherines. Made it there with only a 10 minute difference hah! It wasn't as bad as people made it out to seem.

tsangan · « **Reply #174 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 22:58:55 »

So I most likely can't make this ;<

I could have made it if it was on the Wednesday but Thursday is no go cant take that day off ;(

Sifo · « **Reply #175 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:00:12 »

I'll call in some kind of threat to your work, so you can get off for the day. Anthrax EVERYWHERE!

tsangan · « **Reply #180 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:08:38 »

CC raffle!!!!!!!!

Halverson · « **Reply #181 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:09:37 »

hahaha I dont think there is much we can do about changing the tour...then again..never know.

Either way, I'll be up a day or two early if anyone wants to meet up.

tsangan · « **Reply #182 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:10:19 »

Nah I know its probably too late now but thursday just happens to be landing on a bad day thats all

Halverson · « **Reply #183 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:11:05 »

Do you have any of your emergency cards left? Dying relative? Kidney operation? Dog sick?

Hyde · « **Reply #184 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 23:54:11 »

Mmmmmm might be a bit late to change schedule now

Since Edgar Matias is typically in Taiwan/China but he'll be in town for the tour for us but I have a feeling he probably will have a busy schedule. Like Halverson said is it possible to throw some crazy cards to get out of work or just join us for dinner? We'll most likely be at the sushi restaurant for a while so feel free to bump in anytime.

Also look on the bright side, Steve McGowan (Vice President of Matias) told me that they have a surprise announcement to make on that day. Maybe new product or something?

Heyyyyyyyy another update, it's officially 1 week before the actual tour. So if anything need anything please speak up now (rides, keyboards..... etc).

Oh and I've talked to the V.P. of Matias and he says it's ok to bring camera and take pictures, so feel free to bring cameras. Otherwise I'll see you guys at Matias weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweet !!!

Forgot to mention, let's meet at 12:00 because with group events like this people WILL BE LATE.

It always happens so let's aim to meet at 12:00 outside Matia's parking lot thanks !!!

Rapid · « **Reply #191 on:** Thu, 14 February 2013, 12:00:52 »

Agreed, also this gonna sound cheesy, but maybe name tags/stickers would be a good idea? =/ Just so we know who's who

HaaTa · « **Reply #192 on:** Thu, 14 February 2013, 12:45:49 »

Sooo, myself and dfj need a ride to the Matias thing.

I will have much in terms of keyboards (at least 1 large suitcase), and dfj will have a bunch as well.
dfj says, "um, I'm on the subway - so, 'yorkdale' statino is at the 401, and thus very easy to meet cars at." We can met at other spots such as eglinton west, or up the subway.

PM me to get the fastest response.

Oh, and depending on how much I plan on bringing (and what I can carry on the bus), I may bring some things to raffle off or equivalent. As well, if I have it ready in time, I'll be bringing OO2's force gauge that I'm borrowing.

SmallFry · « **Reply #193 on:** Thu, 14 February 2013, 12:46:54 »

I ping'd dfj to check his PM's too.

We should take a group photo holding each others keyboards and then make the rest of geekhack guess who we are. And then show the real picture of us holding our actual keyboards

just to mess with them.
