Some form of scheduled gambling (other than the actual tournament) would be an excellent idea, but I have no idea where there's a casino in Toronto. Only ones I know are at the Falls. Ollie, you seriously need to come. Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie, you seriously need to come.There is the Falls, There is Rama and there is Port Perry. All a pretty good hour to hour and a half away from downtown depending on the traffic and such.I have always thought it would be fun to rent one of those massive limos and just gamble,drink and go to the casino in that...I am sure if everyone chipped in $25 we can get a nice limo bus..Just throwing it out there.

Is anyone else bringing a wife/girlfriend? She'll be somewhat miserable if she's the only girl for any of the social stuff. I'd definitely like to do at least a group dinner/drinks type of thing, watch the playoffs, etc.A limo would definitely cost more than $25 per person though. We did a pubcrawl one year and with 16 people for 8 hours it was $75 each, and that was 7 years ago. $25 x 20 is only $500, not gonna get a vehicle and driver for that.

I googled Toronto Limo Service and the first one that came up says you can rent a 16 passenger stretch for $450 on a Saturday. It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I don't think it's far off.http://www.torontolimoservices.ca/nop.html Link to post Share on other sites

This is not even close to being within our budget but the minute I told Liz she said that I had to do this because the chances are slim I will ever get this opportunity again.

I'm thinking once.The draw for me to come isn't the poker in the HOF, it's more meeting and having a good time with the FCHL guys. So I kind of want to wait until we all go to vegas or something to make some bad financial decisions. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Chris, what's the protocol regarding autographs? Will it be okay to ask players for autos during the tournament or will there be other opportunities. I'm just working on my plan to get at least $200 worth of autos. :)1. Borje Salming2.
