- Suigi - Compliance Queen - nibznik - CHERRY - smileexpert - Sir GH - ggo1 - knebworth - dsmfour - Liquid Scream - jericho05 - Direwolf - Goo That's thirteen of us, plus whoever we're bringing. Any ideas of where we could go? Bar? Restaurant? It's less than three weeks, so now's a good time to plan if we all want to meet up. Just post if you're interested, and then we'll look up a few places close to the Air Canada Centre. |

Count me in. Down One Lounge could be a nice spot to meet up before the show. link |
| nibznik 25.02.2006 12:52 |
I think a bar is sorta out of the question for me, Me and my buddy are driving down probably, the problem is we're both under 19, and I look like I'm 14 (I'm actually 17), so even going into a bar is out I think. |
| Jericho06 25.02.2006 13:59 |
Sounds good to me. I am bringing my son who's 16 so I am not sure about a bar either. I am open to suggestions tho. We will likely drive to Yorkdale and Subway from there.... |
| Suigi 25.02.2006 17:11 |
Same here. Underage, but only by a month by showtime. I'll think about it, but I'm subway-ing from York Mills (closest to my work). |

Alright, so a bar is out! Any suggestions from you folks from Toronto? I'm from Hamilton, and I don't know downtown Toronto all that well. But if we need to research restaurants and whatnot, then that's alright with me. I'd like to have things planned before March 3rd, because I plan to avoid the forums after that date. I don't want any setlist surprises to be ruined. I'm sure many of you will agree! |

Hi there- if you're interested, i've been suggesting to the QOL folks a meet-up at the HORSESHOE TAVERN (corner of Queen Street and Spadina) link I have a friend who lives in Toronto this year... she told me the Horseshoe was a really cool pub. apparently there's not much going on right next to the Air Canada Center, so there's a little bit of a walk (approx. 2.5 kms) to go to Queen Street, where all the fun is... so if you guys don't mind mixing up with the QOL crowd, i think we could ahve a real nice time. let me know... |
| Zak Royen 25.02.2006 23:32 |
sorry, i hadn't read the whole topic... are you sure you cannot get in a bar in Canada if you're underage? (the rules might be different from the US :/) |

| Direwolf 26.02.2006 11:50 |
There are many restaurants (w/bar) within a 10 minute walk of the ACC that will accommodate all ages. Harbour Sports Grille would be the closest (about 5 min). link |
| nibznik 26.02.2006 12:15 |
Actually the harbour sports grille looks pretty good. I'll see if maybe I can swing that, also depends if my friend wants to go. I'm gonna see him at school tomorrow so I'll see what he says. |
| Suigi 26.02.2006 21:33 |
Not really sure about this, but who knows. I'll keep an eye out, though. |
| sexmachine 28.02.2006 09:26 |
hey bob! we are 9 people all together, not sure if they all want to join. i´ll come definatly. see you |
| Goo 28.02.2006 17:40 |
I'll try to make it, though I have to make sure my friend's up for it too, but I'm sure I can stop in for at least a little bit. |
| The Real Wizard 28.02.2006 23:47 |
Awesome! I'm really looking forward to seeing you all! So, unless there are more suggestions, can we all agree on the Harbour Sports Grille, at 10 Yonge St. ? What would be a good time? 5pm, if the show starts at 8? I'm sure we all want to get into the ACC by about 7 or so. |
| Liquid Scream 01.03.2006 16:25 |
I will try to get there, I have to talk to my two friends to see if they are up for it. |
| The Real Wizard 02.03.2006 11:23 |
Could a few more people post to confirm they'll be coming to the Harbour Sports Grille? I'd like to know it won't be two or three people there. Also, could this be done in the next day or so? I won't be coming to the forum from tomorrow evening onward, to avoid reading any setlists posted. |
| smileexpert 02.03.2006 18:34 |
I'll see - mark me down as a 'maybe' with possibly 2 others :) I also won't be checking any Queen sites after tomorrow - want to be surprised :) ...for what it's woth. Andrew |
| nibznik 02.03.2006 21:43 |
its still an if for me Sir, sorry, we'll see if we can make it there for the meet, if not, I'll see you at the show. |

Sir GH-coming to philly? |

stateside fan wrote: Sir GH-coming to philly?Nope... just Toronto and Buffalo. (Email me!) Right now it seems there are very few people posting for sure for the pre-show thing. I'm checking back early evening, and if there aren't a few more posts, then I'd say we call the pre-show off. |
| Liquid Scream 03.03.2006 17:09 |
I am good to go, I am now by myself due to my buddy getting screwed into working! Now I have a spare ticket! ARGH! |
| teleman 14.03.2006 19:31 |
I'm suggesting this as an alternative for those not meeting up with the others. I've suggested this on QOL and can assure you there will be plenty of Queen fans around. I'm suggesting that anyone from out of town (Toronto) might want to meet up at a place called Jack Astors. It is located at the intersection of University and Front Streets. This is a commom meeting place for people going to events at the Air Canada Center. They serve alcohol and food so you can enter if you are not yet legal drinking age. To get there walk north on York St. from the ACC to Front St. Turn left and walk west to University St. You'll see it on the corner. It is a very short walk to the ACC. I won't be available for a pre show meet but I'm always up for a post show meet. I hope any visitors to Toronto have a good time. |
| The Stealer 14.03.2006 23:16 |
Whoo Hoo--I leave for Toronto in the morning for the show!!! horah!! I can't wait!!! |
| zone 14.03.2006 23:52 |
If you just want to meet up I would suggest to go to BCE building,it's really close to the ACC.Meet downstairs by the Hockey hall of fame.There's a food court and there's a couple of places you can get a beer with out being in a bar.Ithink that's you're best bet. |
