I won't be able to make it to Detroit, but is anyone planning a meet up in Toronto this coming year?
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

So long as my licence plate # isn't visible to you, I'd join you for a lovely stroll at the CAIAS :P  Just teasing about the licence plate thing, but I do think we should all meet up at the CAIAS!

Is Trader giving away any fun stuff this year? :stick: <JY>

i'll be going since it's only a 15 min walk from my house.
Assuming no delays, it's a 40 minute subway ride for me.  Knowing the TTC, it'll take 3 hours each way.   ::)

So I don't know if anyone will be able to join me, but the only possible day for me to go is the first day (Feb 13).  I booked my vacation from Feb 14-22 without first checking what else was going on that week.

Are you driving or taking the train? Either way, want some company on the way into the big smoke.

For sure, we can make a plan as it gets closer to the 13th.

I stop by the show on a few public days to get feedback from customers on the floor. I'll try and coordinate to be there when the forum folks are walking through.

I prefer the daytime as well. The outlaws are coming over for a 4 day visit during that week so my wife said feel free to bail for a day or two if they become unbearable....Love my wife  :flowers:

IF I stay at work until 5pm, I won't make it down before 5:30pm.  I could theoretically leave work at 4 or 4:30pm, however...if necessary

Was planning on going after work on Friday (around 3:30pm) Just looked at the calendar, wife works Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  Guess I shouldn't go, spend time with her and the family I guess.  Considering she is working Valentines day, and Family day.
