Ah, thank you all for your suggestions - I'll definately be going to the falls, and probably taking the stairs at the tower. Plenty of food for thought thankyou.

Jon, I'm coming up with a couple other geeks for the meet.  I want to see your band play, I'm nuts about loud rockin' music (gotta talk to the other guys).  What time does the band go on that night?

I was kidding actually about actually doing that. It takes about 4 hours to do for a healthy male (which I am not) and is the cardio equivilent of half a marathon. I'm not sure you can actually do it outside of fund rasing events and evacualtions.

I run long distance (half marathon  :wink: ), took the stairs up the eiffel tower, osaka tower, sydney tower, the two towers at Bolonga and all sorts of other places - so I actualy seek out these places when I go on trips to climb up. But if its not generally open... well then that sucks.

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.

Loud as the Illuminati? DFA1979 (RIP)?

Oh, I didn't realize you were insane. ;-)

I'll look into seeing if you can get into the stairs on a regular day.

Yes.

I will post links as soon as the show is confirmed. We're still working out details.

If the show is a go, expect my band to hit the stage around 10-11pm.

On climbing the CN tower.

Bad news: You can only climb it as part of an event.
 
Good news: there is an event in April - the WWF is running a fund raising event. You'd even get a WWF shirt that says "I climbed the CN tower."

Bad news: the proposed date for the event is April 28th. A little too late for Moto. :-(

But you can still take the elevator up to the 360 restaurant and see the view.

Man, off by days. What if he pretends to be training for the WWE event?
