I'll be there. I propose that we all explore the abandoned train station late night, scooby doo style. insomniasexx you're obviously Daphne...or Thelma.

thenewgreen  ·  3882 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That's hilarious, insom actually is a sort of mix between Daphne and Thelma. I guess that makes mk shaggy?

mk  ·  3882 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Zoinks.

You think lil and/or theadvancedapes will make an appearance? I have two couches and an extra bed, so...

lil  ·  3886 days ago  ·  link  ·  

theadvancedapes who claims to have a drivers licence says he's prebooked. lil who is giving a shoutout to herself will give your offer her every consideration. Now if insomniasexx were willing to share the bed... although if I'm tired enough or had enough beer, I could probably sleep on a sofa...

no seriously, thanks b_b -- my google map says three hours and 47 minutes door-to-door if I leave from Toronto or 3 hours and 4 minutes if I leave from Hamilton

Are there any other Ontarions out there who have a driving licence???

insomniasexx  ·  3886 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'm willing to share bed. Or I'll sleep on the couch. Or floor. I'm really not picky about where I sleep. I'm young any sleeping pains will be hidden by the massive hangover I expect to have.

I promise to pick you up in Windsor if you take the via rail.

lil  ·  3885 days ago  ·  link  ·  

A VIA bus arrives in Windsor at 4:26 p.m. on Saturday. Is that a possible time... I could linger around for a couple of hours if need be - or walk across the border if it's nearby. Actually it's only a half hour walk along the riverside from the train station to the bus across the border.

More interestingly, a GREYHOUND bus leaves Detroit Greyhound Station at 1:15 a.m. arriving in Toronto at 6:40 a.m. The Detroit Greyhound Station seems to be on Howard Street most likely about 5 minutes taxi from the Mercury Bar, or 20 minute walk if anyone is still on their feet. I'd probably have to be there 20 minutes early. Could be doable.

Yes, it seems short.

Getting to Windsor at 4:30 is no problem. I live only about 5 minutes from the border crossing. As for getting home, you can take the bus, but under no circumstances would I let anyone walk around town at that hour. I'll take you if that's what you decide to do.

mk  ·  3885 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That would be fantastic if you could make it.

lil  ·  3886 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I promise to check the schedule today -- that's a very compelling offer!

thenewgreen  ·  3883 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well....?

Definitely! Hope to meet you katakowsj. Also, Mindwolf

Unfortunately not this time I guess. My wife and I are taking the kids and meeting friends for a camping trip on September 13. I'll be up for future meet-ups that are within driving distance. I look forward to meeting you as well.

thenewgreen  ·  3882 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Bummer, enjoy the camping trip though. See you next time

kevinstep  ·  3887 days ago  ·  link  ·  

sounds good, where will the meet up be?

thenewgreen  ·  3887 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Read the post above, it will be at the Mercury Bar in Detroit. If you need a place to crash, that can likely be arranged.

See ya soon punk.
