Ok..
Seeing as how I've been busy enough lately with work (both full and part time) I've neglected locating a decent pub/location for our meet that I wanted to have happen this weekend..........so......... I'm delaying it till next weekend.
Please post here with a "ya, I can make it" so that I can get numbers.
I'd like to keep it in midtown - perhaps up around Yonge and Eglinton or Yonge and St. Clair.
Again, with the weather being so spotty I don't think we can get any real "shooting" done per se
but I'm always open to suggestions since I'm the one that suggested pulling this thing together
Feel free to toss out anything.. I'm easy.... not cheap.. but easy..
Cheers
Dave

Dave, I can make it then. Especially after hearing your promise of demonstrating how to load a Leica IIIc while running down the street after a fire engine. I just *gotta* see that!

Ok Chasing a Fire Truck. How about while driving one. Now that's a skill. I will try for the 28th but will not know for sure till Fri. On the topic of fire trucks here is a pic of what happens when you mix freezing rain and cars. Tues afternoon. No I didn't take it with a rangefinder. Didn't want to get them wet.

flashover: Oooh, BAD can-opener. It amazes me that every year, with the first snow, freezing rain or whatever, a significant portion of the population thinks that just maybe God repealed the laws of physics in the last coupla months.
Dave, Gene, et al. Don't think I can make it the 28th. I think my kitchen renovation is calling me. Yuck.

Dave, I'm a definite maybe.
Yonge St. Clair places to drink, yes. Interesting... lots of expensive houses and condos;
Yonge Eglinton, places to drink.. yes. Interesting.. fewer expensive houses and condos but more of them in numbers.
Queen and University , theres the Rex ... lots of expensive but small lofts.. interesting more than the other two,
but.... maybe too close to home?? figuratively speaking.

The Rex might not be a bad idea Jan.... I think they have afternoon Jazz going on on Saturday and it is definitely big enough.
I don't know about the regular..umm.. clientelle that can sometimes be there but it's a possibility. It's a bit further south than I wanted some folks to travel in case are coming from the north but it's a great suggestion; especially for available light jazz shots.
Maybe what I'll do is scout out the location possibilities this weekend.
I'm bumping this to see if anyone else is interested - Earl, keep going on the reno... I know what it can be like Flashover, no problemo and stop chasing fire trucks

Sorry, I won't be able to make it this time. My work schedule has changed with the new year and guess where I have to be. Maybe next time.

Dave Pick the spot and I will try to get there. Oh BTW I am not a Chaser, that's what we call the tow truck drivers. I was driving the pumper in the middle of the picture.

heh..ok.. so you're not chasing .. and yes.. I would concur.. tow truck drivers and lawyers
I'm bumping this so that we can get some more exposure.. and you all know how much I like to expose myself...
Here's another thought The Domion On Queen (Queen St. E right next to Vistek) has Saturday afternoon live bluegrass music (at least it did the last time I was there)... so there's some consideration to that location as well.

Bumping again:
Do I hear an "either/or" : For your perusal - http://www.therex.ca/ (featuring the "Ed Vokurka String Ensemble" from 12 noon onwards)
Sadly The Dominon On Queen doesn't have a website (and no, it's NOT a supermarket) - but here's the website for the entertainment that I mentioned:
http://www.foggyhogtownboys.com/map_page.htm
Now you'll note that they don't come on until 3:30pm and there is a cover of $5.
So let's hear it ....
Cheers
Dave

I'm sort of not surprised that you play a banjo...
I used to play a musical instrument and I'd probably need a lot of practice to get back into it but man.. it would be culture shock for most of you guys

I've NEVER told anyone this: when I was a kid, I took ... accordion lessons!
Now I jsut strum a bit on guitar, so I'm cool again.

OK, I'll delay the kitchen reno and high-tail it up if Dave and Frank promise to play the accordian. The mind boggles.
