I think sometimes I get ahead of myself.

So I used the Expedia super special deals thing and ended up with a different hotel - the Clarion Hotel & Suites Selby -- and of course it's not refundable. So, I'm sad I will not be in the same hotel as a bunch of other people, but I suppose I'll live -- it's only 1.5 miles away, so if I'm somehow hanging out at the Bond(age) Hotel, it'll be easy to get back by car or by foot.

I'm more annoyed than I sound, but really there's no use in being bothered by it.

In any case, it was pretty darn cheap so I shouldn't complain!

Now, to go book the car. Got the car! Priceline.com is pretty awesome. I AM GETTING SO EXCITED FOR THIS TRIP -- NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS THE ROAD TRIP PART!!!!



OH! If I do nothing else other than see The Headstones while in Toronto, I MUST go to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I'd have tried to catch a Maple Leafs game, but -- it fucking figures -- that their two home games that weekend are on the day before I get there and the day after I leave! WTF, TORONTO!

I'm sorry, sweetie. The point was for you to get an affordable hotel room, not necessarily the same one that most of us are going to be in. Besides, I don't think most of us are actually going to be getting any sleep...*twirls you*

29 DAYS!

Re: the back-and-forth: You can also Ride the Rocket (hilarious tagline for the TTC). Bloor is a fair hop from Dundas St., especially in the cold. If you're going to be touring about, I really recommend the transit day passes. They are v. cost-effective, especially since on weekends you can use one for 2 adults.

Then you don't have to deal with T.O.'s wealth of one-way streets and insane drivers.

You don't want to see the Leafs anyway. :P

It is, in fact, the sweetest deal. They're $10 each, and considering a one-way ride is $3... yeah.

The Rocket is really the only funny thing about Toronto Transit, but it is VERY.

Like Aka said, I don't really think we'll be catching that many zzz's. Between the :D! and the \o/ and the fangirl PLUS the concert (before AND after), I'm gauging we'll be getting around 6 hrs of shut-eye at best. O_o

I think right now it's something like 20 peeps and only 7of us are staying at the Bond(age) so, there's no need to be all :( , Osaraba. All I know is that there's going to be either a HUGE fangirl puppy pile somewhere OR a few clusters all over Downtown Toronto.

LESS THAN A MONTH! OMGWTFWITHBBQSAUCE!!!! *flails*
