[Moto-Viper]

I'm definately coming - leaving Friday 13th at 0710, and arriving at Lester B Pearson at 1740.

Leaving on the 20th of April, so anybody got some suggestions of stuff to do in the 'hood for the rest of the week?

[BHMike]

I split this from the other Joe Meet thread.
I think you'll get more replies for 'other' things to do around Southern Ontario in it's own thread!

Let me see what I can dig up for suggestions. - anyone else want to offer some for the time being?

Are you the same Moto-Viper on joecustoms from Sydney, Australia?  Man, that is a long haul.

You have to check out Toronto.  Tons to do there.  Anything in mind besides the obvious CN Tower tour.  Even the Blue Jays are in town from April 9 to 19.

Wowzers! Coming from down under!
Yes, you should definitely check out the CN Tower and watch a Jays game. If you are coming with your significant other then you might want to check out Mirvish Production of We Will Rock You, take a walk along Harbourfront and hopefully see a live jazz band, and dine at the 360 restaurant on top of the CN Tower. If your want to party in the Toronto night life, Dance Cave, Mod Club, Phoenix are decent for rock/garage/indie venues, otherwise any club on Richmond plays Top 40.
Check out Kensington Market for an eclectic selection of food, clothes, and anything cool and trendy.
Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Science Center, and maybe even the Art Gallery of Ontario are also worthy places of viewing.
Oh, and when you're down around the CN Tower/Rogers Center area, check out the Steam Whistle Brewery and get a tour of the place while drinking free samples.
You'll also need to stop by the Silver Snail comic shop on Queen St W.

You know what's strange.

I've NEVER been to the CN Tower. Not once in my life.
How messed is that.

[Raptor]

It's pricy, but you can't beat the view Mike. The elevator is expensive, but it's cheap if you're willing to use the stairs... ;-) 

You'll also have to hit the Falls and take a few pictures. No sense coming all the way around the world without seeing the thing. It takes about 40 minutes to do the whole town, including the Marvel museum. Never been to the latter, but I hear that it's the best geek trip this side of the wrestling restaurant.

Geez, even I've been up there, and I suffer from a highly traumatic fear of heights.

Marvel Museum, you say?

[BHMike]

It's not a museum.
The Marvel Place is a 'game place' with items to buy, a couple of kiddie rides, and some 'museum type' things.

But it's hella cool - and free for the most part.

Something cool about seeing Thors hammer 2 feet away from you.
And the life-size Spidey.... and all the villians hanging from teh ceiling...... yeah. It's cool.

There is a fairly good chance that my band will be playing in Hamilton on the night of the 14th (around 10pm after the meet)... I'm sure we could get a bunch of you guys guestlisted if you wanted to come out. We'd be playing with some very loud rock bands tho.

I'll keep you guys informed.

[Scramble]

How loud, Jon? And any of them worth seeing? I'd love to see you live, but not if it's a five minute set surrounded by crap.

[Jon S.]

Very loud. I happen to like the other bands, but they are loud and listening to them requires earplugs.

I can't post any specific information until the show is confirmed though.
