Another GW meet is in the works. It'll be in London, Ontario from July 18-20th. You can show up whenever you want on the 18th (which is a friday). We'll be going to the beach and doing other stuff on Saturday and then you can head out whenever you want on Sunday. My place isn't big (it's a townhouse) but there's a lot of room for people to sleep so anyone that can make it is welcome to show up. This topic is just to let everyone know where and when the meet will be and will hopefully give enough of a heads up for scheduling. I'll be making a more detailed topic in late June/early July but I'll do my best to answer anyone's questions.
People who will most likely be there:
Izekeal
Mamamack
pseudo-emo
Jeff
Catslacks
Bart
Bartbro
HybridZero
Wash Cycle
Dudesoft
Sarevok
Cliff
FlowerPower
Ramiette
Noz
Moriason
People who will most likely be there but haven't posted in this thread:
Ash
My roommates

I live in the often-overlooked area of Southwestern Ontario, conveniently located inbetween three of the Great Lakes. Which one will we end up going to? Only I know....
Also I think this is the seventh Ontario meet, but I've probably lost count.
-
I would like to go to one of these onetime, but I need to be more enabled. Maybe sometime next year when I am envehicled and would have an easier way making my way around. Hope you guys have fun! :)

Hahaha THREE GREATS LAKES

Buy me plane ticket.

Actually, if I schedule my orientation right at OSU I will be wanting to go to this. Its not that far of a drive for me (4-5 hours)

Mamamack doesn't get drunk, she gets tipsy. And please, no pics of me at the beach unless I'm buried in the sand.
I am SO on for this. I'm also about 90% sure that I don't have to play on 20 July which means I'd be able to do the whole weekend! JOY OF JOYS.
-
im there guys
-
I will be there.
-
Age requirement??
Just wonderin. I'm not planning to join (to far away)...

I'll come if I'm not working and nobody minds (can't say I'm a GW favourite).
-
I will come in july
with my brother :)
-
i didnt realize there were so many people from around here! id like to go, but getting to london might not be doable...
if i were to plan a meet downtown toronto at another time, would people be interested?
-
I would but i live in newfoundland
-
no thanks
-
I wish I could've come, it would be really awesome to hang out on the beach with you people.
Too bad I live 93485739457985703 kilometres away (yes that is exact).

Maybe if you circled the earth a couple million times.
-
I'll be there. I'm not sure of my work situation yet so I might not be there the whole time or whatever, but I will at least come out for what I can.
-
Hey Izekeal, can you update the original post with a list of people who have said they are coming?
-
Man I was just thinking 'hey this would be pretty cool' then I realised it said London, Ontario. :(
-
boom definitely planning on coming up this summer
-
Hey Izekeal, can you update the original post with a list of people who have said they are coming?
Sure can. Glad to see that there's this much interest.
-
I didn't realize that there were beaches in Canada. All they teach you about Canada in school is basically maple syrup and WHUTSNOW, I swear. But all the cool GW meets like this one are always, like, 3000 miles away. Geez. :sad:
-
Actually, if I schedule my orientation right at OSU I will be wanting to go to this. Its not that far of a drive for me (4-5 hours)
4 to 5 hours back and forth is a pretty long time buddy, especially on unknown roads.
I am just taken aback that you'd consider doing this from OSU!
-
Sweet! Count me in. If I'm scheduled for work, I have people to cover me. :D
-
I didn't realize that there were beaches in Canada.
You're kidding right? It's like the second largest country in the world and I think like 4 of the great lakes are part of Canada. I mean, there's other beaches everywhere else (there's like 3 LAKES surrounding my city, which makes like 7 beaches)
-
yeah but are they nice warm beaches or really shitty rocky cold beaches no one would ever want to go to unless theyre nerds and care about WILDLIFE or some shit
-
they're nice warm sandy beaches. i mean there are places like you described along parts of any water front, but only skinny dippers and dumb kids use them. most of the beaches are located around parks and stuff.
i should mention............it's only snowy here for like 4-5 months. right now it's 29 degrees celsius, which is VERY warm
-
are there racists? just wonderin..
-
For the record we are going to one of the most popular beaches in Southwestern Ontario. It does not suck.

lol skinny dippers? are you referring to the nude beach on toronto island? hahah
are there racists? just wonderin..
uuuh, should i ask??? ...lol not too many racists... its CANADA... everyone is a different race, it wouldn't go over well...

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
You just can't keep a secret, can you.....

I've driven myself to Detroit and back before, so that part isnt a problem at all, it'll just be weird when I actually get into Canada heh
I mean... Columbus Ohio is not that far away from London... I bet I could even get a ferry ride across in my car for some extra buxxx
-
Yeah, no more of that 'heh' stuff. Once you cross over, you must use 'eh' only, or people will stare maliciously towards you, like a pack of hungry zombies who suddenly sensed brains.
-
fuck this sounds epic even sare is going.
if i had a way to get there i would
-
ehhhhhhhhh caaannnnaaaadiiiiaaaa?
I was gonna keep up the act and be SECRET MYSTERY GUEST, but I will get lost because nobody will be able to give me directions from the airport so w/e. It might be me and cliff coming. It might be me and cliff + a speshul friend of mine 8)
-
sare are you in canada for awhile or what
cause if so, you should do some other things
also if you need a couch to sleep on you got .... my floor
-

-
Not a gwmeet in the world sare can miss...
-

-

-
hey whats this
Sarevok spilled the beans
-
hey I'd probably be free in july and I live in the Toronto area so I can totally make this. do we have to be REALLY IN with the gw crowd or can anyone come because this sounds like fun.
-
you have to be REALLY in with the gw crowd to get how awesome that sarevok geezer is
-

You're more than welcome to come. Don't worry, we're not elitist or anything.
-
"heh....only made 5 RPG Maker games? get out of my house or I am calling the cops for trespassing..."
-
I think I can go to this.
It's around London? That's like 1/12 hours from my place so that's do-able. I may only be able to come down for 1 day though.
What beach are you going to?
-

my brother goes and he does not even come to gw
its just a bunch of nerds hanging out, playing games, drinking (not everyone drinks though) and all that jazz

We'll be going to Port Stanley on the Saturday. If you can only come for one day then you'll probably want to come down for that day as it'll be when we're doing the most stuff.
-
i might actually come this time
-
Port Stanley eh? Yah that is a good beach, sweet
-
"heh....only made 5 RPG Maker games? get out of my house or I am calling the cops for trespassing..."
This is the reason we had to stop having it at my house actually
its just a bunch of nerds hanging out, playing games, drinking (not everyone drinks though) and all that jazz
Fuck you and fuck malibu polski
Also I can't swim so I'll just be CHILLAXING and kicking down kids' sandcastles.

I don't know anything about ferries but if you need directions on how to get to London I can help you out. Sure, websites are helpful and such but nothing beats directions from a person who has actually driven the roads you'll be on. Not that it's a big deal, anyway because you're looking at a pretty straight shot north. The worst of the problem is all of the construction around the Ambassador Bridge (the bridge into Canada). We could run you through the tunnel but then you'd have to wind your way through Windsor which is just a huge hassle.
Anyway, fun should be had by all. Especially if we've got peoples coming from the other side of the pond. This should prove to be interesting.

I...live on the wrong end of the country.
-
Hey how far away is London from Toronto?
-
