FMGC 2012 - Gaming Convention - GTA CANADA

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Just booked my room at the Best Western, registered yesterday.  Looks like Saturday is going to be rainy, muscle car stays in the garage and the large Spring 42 map is coming with me and the Jimmy, oh and my pal Gibson

You better buy another bottle, that's not even going to last you half of the drive up.

Put me down for a museum run on monday!  I'll take my "doubled" chances!

They will, as far as I know only be open on the saturday.  They don't normaly open until May and are opening this weekend just for us!

Just a "side Note" on drinking at the Event:

There will be a Bar open on Saturday run by the 420 Wing....   but after it closes the event is "technically" Alcohol free (we don't have a licence).

That being said:  Marshals will Look the other way IF you don't make it to obvious.  Mix your drinks in your car etc..  and bring an empty Drinking mug or Soda Bottle.

The above message is UNOFFICIAL and I will deny ever making it

just like high school

Especially if the fuzz show up.

I volunteer to hold them off whilst you guys escape. 

If I can keep any pending charges, to WITHIN the province, all I have to do is get out .  EASY.

Pity Canada is not 'tail-gate party' friendly.  I'm surprised the US is so tolerant being a somewhat more litigious nation than Canada.  I would never 'cut the grass' of 420 wings sales.  Personally, I was thinking of when I was back at the hotel room to drown my poor dice sorrows!   That's me story and I intends on sticking to it.  Forecast is looking up, might be trading the large '42 map for the muscle car!

Ontario is a police state.

I was hoping to pick up some Canadian craft beer (none of that Molson or Labbatt crap) on the way in (as my other alto ego is a craft beer enthusiast/expert @beer47) but I get in too late to hit the spots in Toronto on Friday night.

Are there any good bottle shops in the Oshawa area. Is the LCBO #776 in Pickering really the closest to the event?

I was planning on just having this after the event but is there some new BYOB policy?

There is an LCBO on route to the Event from the 401 Highway IN OSHAWA.

As mentioned; there will be a bar open in the venue on Saturday Evening.

I was hoping to get my buddy the professor of brewing to come but alas, darn students are writing exams...or brewing/drinking them....

He might be able to give a few recommendations if he is answering his email.

"....an experimental facility for recycling beer".   Interesting.

Ooooo! drinking is allowed!?!  well my worries just melted away! While I have absolutely no intention of trying to bring alcohol across the border i'll have to provision myself with alittle extra cash for when I get there
