I think this is a good point to add my 2 cents in...
personally, I don't think Ventax will install a ride, especially not a ride
like Topscan so you can "get your fix". You are quite right that it will be
a "boring" winter without amusement parks...welcome to the "Great White North"
I think you might try and see if you can get a job with the TTC.....that might
take the edge off Winter.
It would be quite a shame if you missed the dinner, but if you must take a
spin or two on your favorite coaster, (hopefully) we'll be around when and
if you come.
Ohhh, Calum....I'm surprised you were brave enough to eat...and you said you
<ate> a large funnel cake...yikes!!! I'm glad I wasn't there...

| Since Iain is on the subject of coming late, it reminded me that I will be there early. I work downtown, not too far from Mels, so I can be there as early as 5:00. Does anyone else want to come early?? Rob (25 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
