Do you want to get together in the core of T.O.? The last time I think we went to a place on Front Street...East Side Mario's or something..I can't remember. If the majority are from the surrounding areas, I suggest we do it in Mississauga. There's always free and plentiful parking, and better places to choose from. For the people who aren't quite legal, this is also a better option since restaurants allow any age in.

I would rather get together downtown. I'm not going to drive, but instead take the train in. Plus, I'm going to need to get a room and I'm partial to the several four-star hotels downtown.

I'm looking forward to meeting up at a restaurant, but I'm also keen on doing it up later that night.

But of course I'm flexible, especially if meeting downtown is too difficult for many.

I'm in downtown T.O., so anywhere nearby is fine with me.

Pub or restaurant is fine with me.

I would rather go to a restaurant as opposed to a bar. Eakers do you remember where we went the last time? I forget the name...maybe it was Casey's?

Nope Its been back for a while now, but not quite as popular as before. ie no huge lineups.


I'd be intrested in the meet as I work right at king and bay, but don't finish until 10p.

This was really cool the last time it happened. :) Too bad I'm committed to another trip and won't be able to make this one since the money is needed elsewhere.

I'm just used to classier places than the Peel Pub...might as well go the Brunny! :p

I vote for going to Casey's.

Edit: reason being, some people might not be into drinking. Don't want to make them uncomfortable. I don't drink much but I would never ever order food at the Peel Pub so that's why I'm for a restaurant.

ugh.. the brunny.

the only problem I have with a restaurant is it gets a little boring. Bars/Pubs will have sports/music, etc.
