Yay

 

[Mr. BAW]

I will still be in Toronto, however I would like to reserve a room at the Residence Inn in Downtown but there are no rooms available! Come on U2 peeps, cancel so I can take your room!

oops I just realized I am competing with the Pride people too. I hope I can find a room!

There are now at Marriott.com but jeez, those prices are steep (CAN)...good luck.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I have a room reserved. I booked a room a few weeks ago at the hotel that is connected to the Rogers Centre!

 

[Drea]

There are several of us who will be at the Elevation gig.

Yes there will be, all dancing our asses off

So whose coming to the Elevation show on the 3rd

I am!

Is this a U2 tribute band, if so where is the venue?

There's a hotel connected to the Rogers Centre? Talk about convenient...for GA...next year

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

yeah but I am sure the rooms will be $500/night for concerts.

It's the Renaissance - stayed there a couple of years ago on a Priceline bid of $55 and had a room with windows that opened right into the stadium, but nothing was going on there at the time except a school break carnival. Wouldn't be able to touch one of those rooms for U2 (plus I believe they might put a giant drape over the windows for concerts). The hotel is very nice.

I booked a room at the Residence Inn for the (now-postponed) show in July but can't cancel since it was a Priceline bid, so I'm going anyway.

 

[secretly alone]

Yeah, that was a dumb thought. The hotel next to the stadium in Philly was well over $200 the night of the show. I can only imagine this one.

Edit: I just looked at the website. I could never afford that Looks really nice, though.

Btw Kaf, there's a couple poles on the bar (just saying )

There was a huge curtain that covered all the windows of rooms on that side - I'm not sure they even rented those rooms out, but they still might have...

As well as the Elevation show there'll be stuff going on all over the city, including at Harbourfront (a short walk from the Dome) With luck the weather will be nice - but without a smog warning - so the out of towners can enjoy the city

You may be fighting for a spot with other people, I haven't seen an Elevation show there yet where there weren't at least three or four women around the poles

The Hideout is on Queen St West - the easiest way to get there is to take the Queen streetcar westbound and get off at Augusta. Stay on that side of the street and walk another two or three blocks in the same direction - the bar's right on the corner and hard to miss

So we might get to see Kaf in action after all

Have you seen my pole muscles? I'll swat them off like flies.

I've seen Kaf in action, and have the picture to prove it (From the night before TO1)

[MissVelvetDress_75]

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Elevation is gonna be packed with Interference peeps

 

[Pop Artist]

Hmm, might hit that Elevation show too, I need to get out more.

Attention people coming to the Elevation show on July 3rd!

This is an open invitation to join Julie, Kristen, Kaf and I at Tortilla Flats (458 Queen St W, at the corner of Queen and Augusta) for dinner before the show When I get an idea as to numbers I'll make a reservation and provide directions as required... I'm thinking somewhere between 7-8pm right now It's a Tex-Mex restaurant but there's non-spicy type options for people who can't do spice (*raises hand*). Their burgers are really good and you can get a three-shot drink for a pretty reasonable price
