Mel's is a lot closer to the TSME meeting, which is at 8 pm. So, see you at Mel's (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I don't mind if we do this, because I have nothing planed for the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The start time is 8:00 PM so that could give you a chance to have two meetings. A possible problem though, is that there might not be any seats left if you get there that late. I am not real keen on the area so my suggestion would be to find good (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
