TO BlogHer Meet-Up: Location, Location, Location!

So we have the date, we have the time - and now we have the place! TO-area BlogHers, care to meet-up at... the Don Mills Brickworks!

Okay, so it's not right on the subway line, but it is kinda right in the middle of town and although parking situation is, apparently, not the greatest (keep this in mind), there are regular shuttles running from Broadview Station and a direct bus from Davisville Station, so it's pretty accessible. And, it's got a lot of under-cover area, which suddenly seems important after two straight days of torrential rain in the GTA.

We'll gather at 10am in the Welcome Court - we'll bring the coffee and snacks - and hang there for a bit, and then move on to Chimney Court, where there's a more developed play area for the kiddies. (There's a satellite Google Map of the area here.) 'Formal' meet-and-greet is 10 - 12, but Katie and I (and tots) will probably stick around longer for the sheer joy of hanging out, and you're welcome to, too. There's a Farmer's Market, and lots of places to walk, or maybe we'll just let the wee ones run themselves ragged while we watch. We'll play it by ear.

You in, or are you in?

Any changes to plans will be posted here, so be sure to check back.

Looking forward to meeting everybody! HUZZAH!

Sounds Perfect

I've been meaning to check out the whole brickworks/farmer's market thing anyway. This will be great.

Oh. Just remembered the whole meeting a big group of strangers part. And 10am sounds a little early to start drinking, even for me. Gulp.

Still, look forward to meeting everyone.

Is anyone bringing Daddy to watch over those tots playing? Also deciding whether to bring (a) no children (b) 1 child (c) 2 children and (d) 2 children and their father.

 

(I guess I better at least bring Oliver as he is still talking about E, J, K & G after Bunch!)

 

I'm bring a wrangler, I mean Dad

And I just told G that Oliver will be there and she's up for the chase!

 

Looking forward to it ...

now that I"ve finally figured out that I have to JOIN the group before I can comment in the forum... d'oh!!!

 Will bring my girlie... the boys have soccer in the AM.  They'll be missing a good party, I think.

Coming!

Hi, I'm totally new here, but will definitely be there.  I'll probably bring my girl, but will leave baby Will home with Dad.  I think.  We'll see.
