July 11th 2011 - Rogers Centre - Toronto, ON

Although this thread is devolving into another Montreal thread (preverts ), I just booked my hotel for my second visit to Toronto next year. So it's U2 in July and Greenbuild in October for me--Hilton Garden Inn both times.

Haven't seen you in a while!

 

[kramwest1]

Haven't seen you in a while!

Work, work, work--possibly paying for all of the U2 next year. At least the tickets are paid for.

i'm thinking of adding toronto to montreal since i can take a $20-30 bus ride. is 1 day after the show enough to see the major attractions?

 

[ryancoke71]

It depends on what you classify as major attractions. CN Tower is a must, but from there, it depends on what your interests are!

Pretty sure Wild and I will be bussing it to Philly along with Liz and Val.

MegaBus is only $68.00, but I can only book through January. It only takes ten hours.

Greyhound is $42.00, but takes fifteen hours and I think you have to transfer in NYC.

I'm thinking of sticking with Amtrak, but that takes sixteen hours and is $118.

I'm kind of afraid of MegaBus after that whole driver hitting te bridge/buses bursting into flames discussion... But the ride is shorter.

I'll probably end up taking Greyhound for most of the intercity travel, I just wish it didn't take so long, since we only have a few days in between shows.

 

[lauramullen]

I'm still confused on what I'm going to do. Since I'm coming home, I think I may do Megabus because it is faster.

By the way guys, if anyone knows someone who has a spare Toronto GA, can you please contact me?

We can't dance on it but we can dance round it.



Its quite tall. I'd rather other tall buildings/objects.

Are we there yet?

 

[kramwest1]

They announced the dates for the 2011 Toronto Fringe Festival.

Toronto Fringe Festival: Home
July 6-17, 2011

Hopefully, I'll be staying on for a couple of days after U2 to see some shows.

 

[ryancoke71]

I'm glad the timing worked out for you!

This show is going to be awesome! I can't wait to see the CN tower once again!!!!!

 

[secretly alone]

I fell off the face of the earth for a bit, but I climbed back onto it again now so was this the thread where we were discussing flights? IF SO, anything new on that?

If not...ignore the dumb things I say

 

[ryancoke71]

That was more in the Montreal thread I think. We ae still waiting for Porter's codes!

 

[kramwest1]

Wait, this isn't the Winnipeg thread?

 

[ryancoke71]

It could very well be the Minneapolis thread though, with so many of us going to the same shows!

 

[secretly alone]

Oh, ok...thanks Amy

See, that's the thing! I lose track of which discussion was going on in which thread cause so many of us are going to the same cities

 

[ryancoke71]

The more shows you add, the harder it gets!!

 

[kramwest1]

Man...if all of the shows in Canada were in a row and lead up to the Minneapolis show, we could have all just met at the starting point and chartered a bus to take us through the mini-tour.

As fun as that would be, I'm glad the dates are spread out--more chance of setlist variety that way, and more to look forward to for all of us.

 

[ryancoke71]

That's true! I am glad the time between my first show and last show is 2 months! It means I get to take 3 individual trips, instead of 1 long one!

 

[lauramullen]

Same here. I also don't have all the shows at once and then it is over.

 

[bonoishot]

Unless they add Europe ( which isn't looking good - Dublin guys, we just want Dublin ) all mine are together next year. Will just be happy to see my girls though and the U2 boys though.

 

[secretly alone]

I have everything pretty much at once, but it's still like a whole month. I dunno, there's something I like about the idea of literally hopping from city to city
