OK!
Flying in on Friday - I hit Toronto at 5:30pm or so. I go back out on Sunday at 6:45am.

I'm staying at a Holiday Inn near Mississauga. Now all I need to do is find a Starbucks on the way to the dyno (no Horton's, thank you) and I'm golden.

Good Q.
I won't want to stay out too late - Saturday is a long day.
A coupla beers couldn't hurt.

That my friend is in the works. I had posted something about that but decided it was too early. I guess I can post it back up. I'll make a signup list shortly.

I say we go to the Mill St. Brew Pub.

Which Holiday Inn?
Maybe we can pick a pub relatively close by?

the USD494.00 includes the MM tuning
USD175 + USD494 = USD669 total.
USD175+fees to TheWulf's paypal account and USD494 to MM via his web site.

Best deal you'll ever get on this

A pub is a good idea, that's what I am aiming for. However I think it a downtown outing would be better than a night in the 'burbs. Keep in mind people are coming from every direction and keeping it central may be more practical -- which is why I originally came up with the Mill St Brew Pub. (Also, Jeff needs real Canadian beer, not Blue or Molson :P)

Besides -- Best Brew Pub in Ontario (2009) or Montana's? How's the beer selection at Failte? The online reviews are pretty dismal. Any other suggestions?

True say...
Just trying to keep it easy for Jeff...
Failte has a good selection of beer and is popular with the club.
I love the Mill St Pub and love Mill St. beer.

I don't mind driving around! I just want to go where everyone is gonna be happy.
I'm pretty easy - I like bar food and a good beer (I do have a soft-spot for wheat beer, especially Hoegaarden, but that isn't a requirement).

Cool!
We can set you up with some Rickard's White at least.

And you have a Starbucks close to your hotel

You are gonna LOVE Mill St. Wit.

I'm gonna bring down some microbrews from Quebec since I'm right on the border... they have a killer selection of wheat beers. (Blanche de Chambly, Blanche des Anges, Cheval Blanc, St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat). Some good stuff in Ontario too; Muskoka makes an awesome wheat, KLB raspberry wheat is decent.

**** now you got me thinking about beer. Way to ruin my productivity... wheat beers are my soft spot too.

If anyone wants to pitch in some extra cash I can bring down a cooler full of good stuff I wonder if the dyno guys will mind... lol... (after party in Jeff's hotel room! It's gonna be an interesting flight home... lol!)

What does everyone else think about the location?

Get some Trois Pistoles too!
I'll bring some brews from Oakville's Trafalgar brewing.

Great location! Although getting back may be interesting...

Flight home?!? lol
I'm accustomed to staying up late-night after a dyno day drinking.
As long as I'm sober enough to get my rental back to the airport around 5am, I'm good.

You should be fine... though rumors are that Canadian beer is hard to handle for some of our southern friends. Last call's at 2am, but we have a cooler.
