Yeah, using Pape all the way over there is easy enough. Hoofing it in the NE corner is also easy enough, since that part goes through a park. I'm not so sure how to fix the southern section, though. Perhaps I'll take a trip over there tonight...for now, I am stuck at home as hubby says there is a package coming for me.

I haven't heard any confirmations that people are free to walk/drive this thing tomorrow...anyone still up for it, or should we move it to July 5, or should I plan on finding some non-uF friends who can do the video/photo/walking work?

Edit: p.s. I edited the Google Map to show using Pape, and tried to tidy up some sections where walking to make things better looks feasible.

which google map did you update?
I could join you, but it's another $26 for the transport Confused I think it would be pretty cool to have video recorded though...

Sorry, it was Pita's map I edited...here. I didn't see any ability to "Save As" vs. "Save", but I do have Pita's original design downloaded to Google Earth should we want to revert to any aspect of it.

Good point about transport costs...silly me Sad. Is there anything that is going to bring you to the Toronto area anyway in the next few weeks? I'm not trying to pressure anyone to be there, I just want to give people the opportunity to be there if they'd like, so if you will be here sometime we can delay. If you can't be here, no problem. I can always pass on the strength stickers and tattoos to you guys another time (or mail them, even...I think Team Guelph deserves some more swag for getting a training laby going in the snow Smile).

I have 2 friends lined up to help me do this June 28 (Saturday) in the daytime (since they both have to work in the evening). If anyone else is going to be in Toronto and would like to join in, let me know!

Hi! I am in Toronto, and I have a video camera! I can for sure come out.... I have to admit I have not been following the game much though so I am a wee bit confused about what is actually going on - but I am always game for live events Smile

Ok, looks like 10:30 is a good time for everyone to meet up. I know it is early, but the people from Guelph need to be on their way back home by about 4:30 and my friend in town has to work in the evening. (This also gives us time for getting to the labyrinth route, getting people back to the bus depot when it's done, lunch, mistakes, etc.) When thebruce and I got the Toronto Codex piece, I picked him up in front of the Best Buy near Bay and Dundas, and I think it should work out to do that again (and I won't be nearly so lost downtown this time, heh). It is not the area the labyrinth is in, but since I have to get thebruce and Melody there anyway (that is where their bus comes in) we may as well all meet at the same place. I suggest those of you who are in the city take the subway to Dundas station and then walk west to the Best Buy. I have thebruce's cell phone number and that of my friend in town, so when I get there I can call you if you don't spot me. Star Spider, if you have a cell # and are still going to come along, pm your # to me (and maybe to thebruce, too) so we can all make sure everyone gets connected that day. (Also, Star Spider, if you would prefer some other location to meet up, send me a pm with your suggestion and we'll work something out; I don't know where in Toronto you live so I don't know what is most convenient for you.)

Looks like it will be my friend in town, thebruce, Melody, Star Spider, and me? I can fit 5 in my car, but don't bring a suitcase pls k thnx Smile. I like that Star Spider has a video camera and thebruce can do video footage also; that means we could have video footage of both what's happening in the car and on foot for sections where any splitting up is required! My camera can also do video, but I'll be driving; I'll bring it along in case someone feels the need to use it (maybe for stills) but looks like if Star Spider and thebruce will both be there we will be covered. I am going to drive by the area again either tomorrow or Friday and get more familiar with the layout, spot any problems I can see from the car, etc.

As for strengths present:
dreamerblue - Sofia
dreamerblue's friend in town - Chariton (though not a regular Lost Ring player)
thebruce - Dikaiosune
Melody - also Dikaiosune? (that's what the wiki says) or Mythopoeia? (she's posted in the Team Mytho thread before and said that's what she was...or was that before we had the "official" strength test?)

Star Spider, what's your strength? Not that it matters to the mission, but it does matter in terms of what pieces of swag I give out Smile. (Note to self: remember to bring the swag. Remember to bring the Trackstick. Mucho importanto!)

Yay, more real-life (well, alternate-life) events! So much fun Smile. I am going to do a personal labyrinth on Friday as well. Looking forward to this, y'all!

Ok, cool! New plan: meet at 11:00 a.m. at Eglinton Square. This is a shopping plaza at 1 Eglinton Square (that's the address you can MapQuest/etc.).
Plaza website: http://www.eglintonsquare.ca/
On Google Maps: http://tinyurl.com/3ohzq4

As for which labyrinth: click this text for link.

Star Spider, I'd still like your cell #, if that's ok (send me a pm), and I'd like the cell # of Hojo-bds as well, so we can all find each other at Eglinton Square. I promise I won't sell it or use it for any other purpose than to contact you during labyrinth activities etc. etc. blah blah blah Smile.

It looks like you guys will have six people--rock on! Everyone piling into one car is fun! As long as you ride shotgun, like I did. Very Happy

Good luck!

Wellll...actually, my friend here in Toronto is not a Lost Ring player, she was just willing to be recruited since I didn't think I was going to get anyone (no one was responding for a long time except thebruce, and it looked like travel arrangements weren't going to work out for him and Melody at first). Now that we have 5 actual Lost Ring players participating, I've thanked my friend for being willing to help out, but 6 people in my car would not have been very much fun at all, heh Smile.

Thanks for posting your strengths, Star Spider...I should have checked here before I responded to the pm you sent me, heh Smile.

Yay, looking forward to this Smile! I'm going to go out later today or tomorrow and check the route out some more, now that I am done work for the summer (woohoo!).

Confirming

Hey!

Just to confirm are we still meeting at 11am at Eglington Square?

Is there a particular place we are meeting? Like an entrance or something?

Thanks!
