OK, here's the deal. I'm sending my wife and my daughter to Jamaica for a week starting Friday March 14 (March break). So here's what I'd like to do:

I am offering an open invitation to any WHT members who live in Ontario, Canada to come over to my house Saturday March 15 for a get-together. Pizza, BBQ steaks (who cares if it's winter), home-made lasagna (yes, I can cook very well, thank you), wings, etc, etc.

The Leafs are playing the Vancouver Canucks. We can watch the game on my 60-inch Toshiba. (go Leafs go)

All I ask is that you bring a beer or two, or a bottle of your favorite spirit. I think it would be great to meet all the Ontario-based WHT members with whom I chat every day.

I live in Brampton, Ontario. Don't worry, my house can hold all of you (it's pretty big...). Brampton, for those unfamiliar, is just north west of Toronto proper.

If you would like to come, post here, or PM me, or email me. I don't care. Just come by and have a good time.

Here's to meeting all my WHT neighbours... :beer: :beer:

Vito

Nice! I live just outside of Owensound (about 1 1/2 hours from ya). I would love to drop by, but I'm going to Blue Mountain on a Ski trip. Sounds like alot of fun though. If I did come, it'd bring some Smirnoff Ice instead of beer (hence my UN) Yeah, it's a girly drink, but it's good :D

BTW: Let me know if anyone drops by :)

Skiing?? We have snow 12 months a year! Just ask any American!

Hang up your skiis for a weekend and meet your WHT buddies. :)

Ah well, can't meet everyone's schedule. Have a good time skiing.
Break a leg! (I don't mean that...)

Vito

LOL :D

Wish I lived in Ontario.... damnit..

pay for the ticket and i'll come ;)

I would come, but I'd have to bring my g/f with me...and I live quite a distance(I can drive though)...

I think i'll be seeing vito at least there :), sounds like a good idea :).

Oh BTW, how many Ontario based WHT members dont drive, or are unable to (due to age, etc.), There might be a fair chunk of those around the Toronto region who would be unable to attend (just a thought from previous experiences).

Ah, no worries. I'll just send out the DemoDemo wagon and round 'em up. :D

Vito

Oh geeze, dont tell me you have your car decal'ed too (i've been tempted to do mine, but i haven't washed it in awhile, figured having "priority colo inc." on my car, covered in mud would be a bad idea, that and people look at the name and go "what the heck does that mean?!"

Thanks for the invitation vito, but too bad we are in Vancouver BC.

I wish you guys a great time :)

Hmm.. Vito you seem to have an error:








Go Canucks Go! :D

I drive a Hyundai Accent. Not a lot of room on my car for words at all. I could put in part of my company name and then it'd look kinda dopey. (Or I could do it in NewsGoth Condensed at 1 px )

Anyway, I'm game for that idea. GO LEAFS GO!

Template Guy:

The Vancouver Canucks can take a few lessons fron the Leafs...

I know, the truth hurts. :bawling:

Cool. It'll be great to have you come, Adam. Bring an appetite.

And if you like, I can give you some small magnetic DemoDemo signs to plaster all over your Accent. They're chick magnets, you know... :D

Vito

vito, you are a cool guy... too bad i live in america.

The Leafs can learn a lot from US. Like how to win ;).

OK, we won the Stanley Cup in '67. When did the Canucks win their last Cup????????????

ONTARIO (THE EAST) RULES!!!!!!!!

Soryy, got emotional there...

Vito

Am approx 2 hours from there but cannot make that date. Perhaps next time or next time I am in Toronto.

Thanks for invite :) though!!

Dude, I eat like a bird. If I have 10 potato chips the whole night, that's big eating for me.

And stickers for the Accent? It'll only take three or four and then I never have to do body work. And I could sure use some chick magnets (probably would help if I got out of the house too. :D )

I would love to drop by but I live in Saskatchewan... :(

Have a great time though. :D

Wow!Lot's of new members since I last posted...I'm from Barrie.. 1hr from Brampton?:) But can't drive yet...poor me...Im somewhat of a leaf fan..but canucks all the way..

-Chris

i would love this sooo much... i think im coming.....

can u send me the adress details man..... and may i bring my girlfriend with me?

Make sure you take pictures@!!@

Welcome to the winning side Chris :).

Vancouver's hot at the wrong time. I like Vancouver but they're too hot too early. They'll end up fizzling late and be a first-or-second-round knockout in the playoffs because of that and their relative youth.

Roberts is back for our boys and look for him to lead us to...the conference final where we'll lose the deciding game late or the third or in OT about the 800th time.

Well, Morrisons Line is going to be leading us :).
I doubt we will win the cup THIS year, but we will make it atleast to final round.

Nobody has to much skill for us to take on, it all boils down to who can take the pressure (Canucks).

-Faraaz

This is the the season of the Canucks!! They'll be taking the cup home this year. Never since the '94 run for the cup have they played so good. I'm hoping for an all Canadian Final. Either the Leafs or Sens against the Nucks. That would be sweet!

Vito - sorry man, don't currently reside in Ontario. I'm a BC'er (can ya tell). Got some Grandparents currently living in South Hampton (Owen Sound) maybe they could drop by. :D

VOTE YES TO VANCOUVER 2010 Winter Olympics!!!

BAH! I should of got my license when I was 16 like everybody else instead of waiting till 18!

I can't drive alone until the end of June.

Is there a Go-Train station around there?

Ill bring a 24 :D

Ya but seriously vito let me know about that go-train.

I'm sure some of my 18 year old immaturity and a 24 will spice this party up :D

(Just hope we arent listening to any *shudder* country music) ;)

Perhaps you could hop a ride with porcupine. Same neck of the woods. Hamilton, right?

Country music?? Let's put it this way - if anyone even mentions the name Garth Brooks, he'll be cordially escorted to the door by the bouncer. :mad:

maccloud - You can bring your girlfriend. Although she may feel out of place - she would likely be the only female...





Vito

Yo vito, i cant make it dude :( But ill buy a demo from you as a gift of my beer ;)

I'm from New Brunswick! Frigin long way from Ontario. :(

Like the NHL refs (particularly a certain guy with incredibly stiff hair that stiffed the Leafs in '93, but I'm not naming any names) would allow an all-Canadian final. It'd be bad for TV in the US, and they have to keep the US markets happy. As sad as it is to say, I think it'll be a long time (if at all) before we see two Canadian teams in the final. There hasn't even been one Canadian team in the final since '94 and only one (Toronto) that's reached the conference finals. That can't be totally coincidental.

The Leafs are goin all the way this year, with Roberts there unbeatable! He is an amazing help to this team, so aggresive, he just gives the whole team a boost. What a player.

As for the Canucks, I like Bertuzzi and Morrison, two very good players and they could lead the Knucks to the cup, I can see a possible all Canadian Cup this year.

Alright - I'll talk to porcupine and see what we can do

Darth is also invited :)

Darth lives many miles away :(

Darth will hire his own jet since Darth is very rich.

Vito, is your drive way long enough for a jet to land?

and Darth will you take me too?

Sure, i'll stop by your house in my helicopter.

maccloud's taking his girlfriend along, and Darth's taking me!

:D

If you can manage the flight, I'll get you at the airport. Sorry, Darth. My driveway will handle a Sesna, but not a jet. :D

As long as you guys don't hold hands when you're here, it's cool.


Vito

Hmm, you are only 6 hours drive away from me........ is it ok if I crash at your place and drive back next day?

No worries. Lots of room. Sure, you can leave the next day.

Hey, Mesum. Is zombo.com really your site??? My 8 year old daughter LOVES your site. She forces me to go to it whenever she comes into my office for a chat. She insists on having it in the background. She even "chants" it when we go for a drive somewhere. (Gotta admit, though, it drives me crazy sometimes... :nuts: )

Vito

Im game. I'm from Barrie, and the leafs are my best friends!!

I grew up with Shayne Corson for heavens sake! :D

Hey now - I live in Bowmanville - work in downtown toronto (skydome) and i'm female! And I have a weee small hosting thing =] nothing like you big boys though of course. Do I qualify to come?

Shi, of course you qualify. provided of course you can sneak me some Jays tickets... :D j/k

Hey billz - coooool site you've got there. :agree:

Vito

Hmm! I'm in Toronto (work at York / Adelaide) and would be interested in meeting some of you psychos. :) All depends on whether or not I can get my ass to Brampton though!

yeah 10 hours for a party? lol tell me if u have one in or around nyc lol

Technically speaking, if you eat like a bird, you are eating ALOT, not very little. Birds need a lot of energy to keep up with the constant energy required for flight.

It's good idea VITO

:D

Hoooo-Momma! :D

I guess i'll drive anyone in on my way, i'll probably bring my GF, that'll leave 2-3 seats in the back for anyone needing a drive within a reasonable distance of Hamilton through Brampton. Our facility is right off Front and York btw (close to where a bunch of these people work/live it seems).

Go Leafs Go!!

I must say that no Canadian team will win the cup for a long time! Its sad but this is a business and if the USA isn't happy, hockey is as good as dead!

Remember the Canadian Womens Team in the olympics? I don't know what the refs were thinking...except lets try and make team USA Win...Guess what though...Canada was TOOOOO good!!

Paint what part of NYC u from im from the bronx.

I'd love to.

TY for the invite. I'm in kitchener, but march 15th is the launch date of my new website :(

oh pft, new website launch, who cares :)

OK, here's what we've got right now:

1. porcupine + girlfriend
2. TheGAME1264
3. maccloud + girlfriend
4. adminME - will get ride in with porcupine (?)
5. Mesum
6. billz
7. Shi
8. lotuslnd (if he can arrange a ride with someone)

I suppose at some point I should cut this off. I don't know what actually happens when you get more than a dozen hosting-related looneys in the same room. I don't want to make the nightly news... :D

(BTW, there will be pop quiz on PHP and HTML in first intermission of the hockey game) :D


Vito

No fair, i know neither php nor html :D.

Keep it open invite, just make people bring their own food, maybe we'll bring lasagna or something for ya vito :).

Maybe I should stop by ;)

porcupine:
Thanks. No worries on the food, though. I can make enough food to feed a small army (I'm Italian, remember? :D ) Just bring whatever liquid refreshments you want and the rest is taken care of. And I would prefer to have a fixed list of members who will be showing up. As you can appreciate, I do not want to just post a home address for any and all. I'd rather know who's coming... ;)

And yes, you have a couple of weeks to brush up on PHP/HTML. :)

infinityws:
I'm not sure if your post is a yes or no. Could you post when you know if you're coming? Please do it soon. As I said, I may cut it off soon...

Vito


[*added*] - Heh, that's a new one. I just got a call from someone who bought some tutorials from me a few months ago. He just recently changed hosts, and was having difficulty in logging into his new control panel. So he called me for support... :eek:

I had to gently explain that he should probably contact his new host for this kind of assistance...

Make it during the second intermission. That little guy that looks like a weasel from the Toronto Sun is annoying anyway. :D

Long time no talk! If I'm home on that date, can I give you a ring and hitch a ride with you? I could get dropped off somewhere closer to you heh. You have my cell number, give me a call sometime this week! If you forgot my #, fire me an email and I'll send it to you. I don't know which email address you use anymore.

Sean

I won't be able to attend this time sorry.

Ok, we'll it looks like we'll have two back seats open, three if you dont mind squishing in the middle.

Anyone who does not have transportation between Hamilton, and Brampton (reasonably between), fire me off an email and i'll be driving whomever i can stuff in the car who wants to come but cannot arrange transportation. Might even turn the subwoofers up and toss that in as a free back massage :D.

Myles, I'm pretty sure adminME was looking for a ride from Hamilton. Has he not PMed you?

Vito

Are you inviting just Canadians to your party?

How about a local Michigander, who's family is originally from Canada? :D

Nope, didn't get any messages from Adam.

Adam if you're still looking for a ride, let me know :) i'd be happy to give ya a drive out there.

Umm, hmm, well, uh, if you can show a Canadian birth certificate at the door, we'll let you in... :beer:

Vito

Hahaha, out vito, no americans allowed? I suggested that one of my favorite customers (no, im not picking favorites, just a list of 'em) come, but he's from along the border too :eek:

Canucks all the way!

There goes that Southern Ontario thing again...drop over to my place, pick up beer and wings.

Sadly, I am actually in Ontario but an 8 eight hours drive from you.

Thanks for the invite though. Once I have enough in the cardboard box under the bed for a Gulfstream 5 I'll fly on down and crack open a two-four.

Well, that is going to be hard, seeing that I was born in Oceanside California, Camp Pendleton, USMC! :D

Does the last name Prevost ring a bell over there in Canada?

That good enough? :D

Vito this sounds great :D

Hmm I may be the young guy there if I manage drop by but I'm always up for a party :D
I'm in Oshawa - about 45 min outside Toronto but I don't have a lift (providing I can find time to go). Porcupine, are you right in Toronto? If you still have a seat available maybe I can catch the train down to Union and jump in your backseat with those sub woofers :D

Looks like we're down to 1 seat in the car :). Someones gonna be squished in the middle!

Wohoo thanks porcupine :D
Vito count myself and Jeff in! I'll send you a PM to let you know I'm going.

lol, I can't say I've heard a better idea then this around here lately!

Count me in for sure! I'll be with Towerhost :D

*Starts packing Leaf Jersey and Beer* :D

Pocurpine, do you still have a seat available?? You're not leaving from downtown though, are you?
Or are you leaving straight from work or something?

Tower, how are you guys gonna get back downtown?? I'm assuming porcupine isn't going to drive all the way back if he's located in Hamilton.

Hmm!

Toronto is on the way through,

I'm uncertain if i have a spare seat, i know AdminME was pondering going, i was leaving a seat for him if he wanted it, but i'm uncertain as he hadn't contacted me. Depends on him I guess =).

Well, keep me posted! So will you be going back through TO on the way home? :)

Is there any other way to get back to hamilton? :D

Wohoo we're going to have some girls at the party, are they WHT members to? :D

My wife is going to take our digital camera on their trip to Jamaica. So can someone confirm that they will bring a camera to the get together? I think the rest of the gang at WHT might be interested to see what you all look like... :eek:

Hey, David. If you hop on a plane from BC and come, I'll get one of my busty friends at the local Hooters to pick you up at the airport. :nuts: :D

You'll be outnumbered, though. You'll be the only one here rooting for the Canucks. But that's OK. When the Leafs kick your team's ass, we'll have the last laugh... :emlaugh:

I've got one but at last check it didn't work. I may have to call in the extended warranty at Future Shop for the third time (it's the only time I'd even remotely consider getting one and it's come in so handy.)

I'll see if i can pick one up :).

I need to get some new pics of our cage as we've added a new chunk of servers (doubling the capacity since our last set).

Thanks, Myles.

BTW, next Saturday the Leafs are playing the Canucks in Vancouver, right? If so, given they're 3 hours behind, what time does the game air?

Vito

I'll make note to bring some cat5-E just in case, great for strangling attackers :D

I'm in Oakville, I'd like to drop by, but am most likely busy on the set date. Regardless, nice idea Vito.

Cool, Mark. It's only a week away. If possible, please post in the thread early in the week next week. I'd like to have a firm list of who's coming.

Haha thanks Vito, you are not supposed to see that! I am working on the site right at this moment, making a little tracking script just to see who is visiting us from where and was testing to see if I could pick up host addresses, hence not being run locally.

As for the hockey gathering, I am actually Scottish, so do not have too much of a background on the game, but am getting into it a little, and would really like to meet everyone. I was quite surprised to see the number of WHT members who are in the same area.

Oops. Sorry... :blush:

Vito

Added something I left out to my previous post.

The PHP/HTML quiz is where I shine!

Ummm, PHP/HTML quiz? Mark, can you show me a sample of what you mean? I am just taking on a local design customer where I have to provide his site members with "online exams", the results of which are to be stored in a MySQL database. Do you do something similar?

Vito

Quite the coincidence we have here. I was actually talking about the PHP/HTML quiz that a post earlier in the thread was discussing about occuring during the intermissions. The funny thing is, I actually do PHP/MySQL programming, and would be glad to hear more.

Please PM me your email address and I will send you details.

Vito

Done. I think I should maybe include an email address in my sig, I think I will do that now actually... in between putting on some Dream Theatre that is.

Thanks, Mark. I've emailed you the proposal. Have a look and let me know what you can do.

Vito

vito,

Do we get a discount on tutorials if we stop by? ;) ;) :D Im in the central michigan area, maybe I can pick up SoftWareRevue and we can go together ;) ;) :D

If you make the trip all the way from Michigan, I guarantee a big discount. :agree:

...provided of course you don't bring any of that watered down American beer... :eek:

Vito

Vito, dropped you another email, look forward to hearing from you.

OK, here's the list:

1. porcupine + girlfriend
2. TheGAME1264
3. maccloud + girlfriend
4. adminME - will get ride in with porcupine - still not sure (?)
5. Mesum
6. billz
7. Shi
8. lotuslnd (if he can arrange a ride with someone)
9. TowerHost (coming in with porcupine)
10. Mekhu (coming in with porcupine)
11. IDNet (undecided)

Later on today I will PM you with directions to my house. The get together is this Saturday March 15. The hockey game starts at 7, so feel free to come anytime after 6:00.

Remember, you don't have to bring any food. It's looked after. Just bring your liquid refreshments and all is good.

See you Saturday. :beer:

Vito

Hrm,

Still no word from AdminME,

BTW, i think Bill from Totalchoicenetwork wants to attend too :D, he's just too shy to say it :laugh:

Well then, Bill, step right up. Don't be shy. Probably one of the few times to meet your WHT neighbors, so please join us. :beer:

I would like to have a "final list" by day's end today, so please post if you'd like to come.

Vito

I had something come up, I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm sorry, I really wanted to shoot over there.

Let us know if you ever do this again and I'll try everything in my power to be there.

:bawling:

My 6 week old foster child is sick and looks like he may end up in the hospital today. Don't want to head out of town with that going on.

:(

Very sorry to hear that, ljprevo. I hope your foster child has a speedy recovery...

I'm from Oakville aswell. I just came back from Switzerland yesterday, so I'm quite tired... Don't know if I can make it either.

Say, I'll post back later today to see if I'm up for it. Tommorrow evening I'm actually picking up a friend from the airport who's coming from Florida.

Anyways I'll see. If not tell me how it goes guys. ;)

Hi citrus. Sure, please let me know if you're coming and I'll send you a map. :)

Welcome back, BTW.

Vito

Hey vito,

Although I would really like to make it, I won't be able to..

Got alot going on with some new servers coming online, tons of new signups and getting a support desk online, just not alot of free time for a few weeks..

maybe if you have another one of these I can make it :)

Dont forget to take some pics for us! :D

Regards,

Yeah I don't think I can make it. I do infact have the rest of this week off, but I still have a bit of work to catch up on; in addition to my friend from the states coming up for the weekend.

Anyways, tell us all how it goes. And I hope sometime in the future someone else holds another (Canadian only) WHT get together! (Perhaps I could, who knows...) ;)

BTW- I'm sure glad I missed last weeks weather too! Sounded pretty miserable, I hear. Switzerland was quite nice, actually. Neuchatel, the city I stayed in had a few days in which I actually wore shorts. :cool:

I may be out too based on what could and most likely will occur tomorrow after all. (Damn my clients. Don't they know when I'm trying to have fun?)

Very sorry to hear that, ljprevo. I hope your foster child has a speedy recovery...

Vito

Thanks Vito, but I have some sad news to report. He went in today.

Ends up he has pneumonia.

He was getting better Wed and Thursday, but yesterday he took a turn for the worse.

I hope you guys had a good time, if you do this again, PLEASE let me know.

How was the get together? Did it actually go through? Sounded like a pretty nice idea, only problem is I am 1495.62 miles away (MapQuest). ;)

ljprevo:
That's a real shame. I hate hearing when a child is sick. Makes us all feel so helpless. I do hope he gets better...

Well, we had a very nice time tonight - porcupine, his girlfriend (Casey), and me. Yup. A total of one WHT member (and guest) showed up. While there are indeed some very valid reasons for not making it (as in ljprevo's case), I was rather disappointed in the turnout. There were some that said they would come and were supposed to show up, but did not. Seems like an odd way to handle an invitation. I went to some effort to prepare food for x-number of people. I did not think people would just not show up. But that's just how I see things.

So I don't think I'll be attempting anything like this again anytime soon.

Myles, it was very good to meet you in person. I enjoyed the evening with you and Casey. :)

Vito

man sorry for the bad turnout but hey at least you got to meet 1 member and as long as you had fun thats all that really matters.

anyhow good luck if you do decide to have future meetings!

Twas interesting, nice huge TV :). Was nice hearing some of the inside secrets of demodemo :D. Btw, it's "Casie" :) Thats allright though, not like she'd ever take the effort to read this thread, too long :D.

I'm also curious where everyone was, we were late (hard to be fashionably late when nobody else shows!), it's a good thing we didn't go to the effort of making any food ourselves for the same reason.

Well either way, good to put a face to the name :).

Yeah, my wife has been calling the hospital all night, they said he is doing better. He may be able to come home today, or by tomorrow.

As far as the turn out, if people were not going to go, they should of had the courtesy to give advanced notice and say they would not make it.

Hey if all else fails. I will come there by myself and hang out with you. I have never been to Toronto. I spend a lot of time going to Sarnia and London, and have been out to Niagera falls (which look 100 times better from the Canadian side ;)

But it will have to be a game against your favorite team and mine, the Red Wings. :D

Oh well, it's not a big deal. At least now I have food for the week while my wife and daughter are away... :emlaugh:

ljprevo, keep us posted and let us know when he's well enough to come home from the hospital.

Vito

Uh oh. I guess I would be one of those responsible, although my situation occurred at the absolute last minute and I did try to let vito know as soon as I did.

Anyway, if I'm one of those people, I'm sorry.

No, you let me know so it's cool.

Anyways, it didn't turn out as planned. No big deal.

Vito

Sorry to hear that Vito. Come down and do it in the desert and I'll be there ;-).

Well Vito you asked for a update on the baby.

He is home now. He was in the hospital for 10 days. Doing 110% better!

Great news. Very happy to hear it.
That must be a big relief and a huge load off your mind...

:beer:
