Dweezil Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 QUOTE (rickyrob @ May 12 2005, 12:59 AM) I'll be in Toronto or the immediate vicinity from 18th-29th July. If I'm not in Toronto for the non-Rushcon days, I'll be either: in Kitchener visiting my Cousin, Elmira visiting my Auntie, Niagara Falls - coz I love it there or just choosing somewhere interesting to visit.....anyone any good ideas? I have been up to Tobermory and northwards through Orillia to Algonquin, but never ventured NorthEastwards towards Ottawa. Drive along the Niagara Parkway to Fort Erie. Awesome There's a racetrack in Fort Erie I've galloped many horses there. Too bad they tore down Crystal Beach's amusement park though, or you could have stopped there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been up to Tobermory and northwards through Orillia to Algonquin, but never ventured NorthEastwards towards Ottawa. There are a million different historical sights to see right along the St. Lawrence River starting off in Kingston (if your in the area, look me up). You absolutly have to do a Thousand Islands cruise (Kingston offers a Dinner Cruis, and Gananoque offers a 3 hours tour with a stop-off at Bolt Castle on Heart Island).... and if your into that kinda stuff, theres a charity Casino in Ganaoque as well.

Brutal Truth Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 There are probably too many people that will be up there that will want to kill me! Seriously, I have better things to spend my time & money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal Truth Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I don't mean literally!! After all that crap on other boards, (although I'm not sure you paid much attention to it), I don't think I'd be terribly welcome!! Anyway, my big trip this year is the Stones gig at Fenway. My friend is on their crew and he's invited the missus and me up there for a nice weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 hang out with other Rush fans, hear guest speakers close to the band, participate in games, seeing a tribute band, see Rush related sites in and around Toronto, visit the Orbit Room (Alex's bar), charity auction...

My friend is on their crew and he's invited the missus and me up there for a nice weekend! . . . I think any true Rush fan would be quick to put their differences aside and greet you warmly regardless of how much water has passed under the bridge. The notion of huge numbers of Rush fans meeting and greeting each other, swapping stories and such, should overcome hard feelings and the like. The very action of assembling under a common interest is akin to burying the proverbial hatchet, I would say. - MitA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 In the past, boards have set aside their differences and hung out. RushCon is kinda considered holy ground. What boards you are member of shouldn't factor in, or even if you belong to one. MiTa, something tells me Grrrl had a hand in your deciding to attend.!

circumstantial tree Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've just purchased tickets to the Gangster of Boats Cruise for John and me. All that's left is airline tickets and hotel reservations. Prices have come down on Air Canada since I last looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Not gonna do the cruise I don't think. But everyone else (esp those outside of town), I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
