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

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???

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.

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.

That would be fantastic if you could make it.

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