Toronto Meet Up III

Steinback · 08-17-2008, 02:08 PM

I figured that since it has been about a month since the last meet up I would gauge interest and see what people think of a third Toronto get together some time in September.

I was thinking of Saturday September 6th as a potential date as that gives about 3 weeks notice, but of course that is open to discussion.

Here are a couple of the potential locations from the last thread, and new suggestions are welcome too:

High Park area
Beaches
The Quay
Distillery Historic District
Don Valley Brickworks Park

If we could find a bar in the area or somewhere that people can sit down inside for a bit and use for a base/meeting point it might be neat to shoot a mix of landscape, street and indoor photos.

Yeah, I was thinking of PM-ing all the people in the Toronto group but thought I would wait a little while to see how many found this post on their own.

You're kidding Malta??

dkittle · 08-20-2008, 04:18 AM

I'd be interesting in the outing - my vote's for Brick Works or the Distillery District.

dkittle · 08-20-2008, 04:19 AM

Alternately, we could stuff ourselves in Alfisti's suitcase!

I'm fine with either the Distillery District or the Brickworks.

I've been to the Distillery District before, it has a mix of art studios, restaurants, cafes and stores in the old distillery buildings. It shouldn't be a problem to grab a table or 3 on one of the outdoor patios if people want to get coffee/beer/snacks and talk for a bit. There is pay parking in several lots on site and nearby and the streetcar runs within walking distance.

I haven't been to the (Evergreen) Brick Works before. Anybody know how it is set up or what is operating there now? It looks like there is a farmer's market on Saturday which may present some interesting photo ops. Another question might be whether it's accessible by transit, though I would be driving and it doesn't make a difference to me.

As far as I can tell neither location has anything big on its calendar for September 6th which means we shouldn't have to worry about special events crowding us out.
