I too am Canadian, and d@mn proud of it!! Fredericton is where I hail from!! I think that Toronto or Ottawa would be the best place to hold it, seeing as how we're all spread out.

Now, if I can just convince my parents to let me go.....

I vote Toronto, otherwise the so-called grownups in my family won't let me, and I believe the same goes for Losthuniel (I know her parents.) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'd say summer or some sort of holiday or something, cause that's when most people are free. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I'm so lost. I need help. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Summer is good, spring break is also a possibility, but they might fall on different dates.

If we do summer, then we're going to have to get the date picked a half a year in advance. A lot of people will want to know this so they can plan their vacations around it.

Summer would probably be very difficult as everyone is going places unavoidably at all different times.

Spring Break is no good for me (even though I'd probably never be allowed to meet you guys, anyway [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]). My family always visits our relatives during Spring Break... and I can't get out of that. That's the problem with Spring: It's too short to do more than one big trip, so if you've already got something planned, that's all you can do. In the summer, though, you can fit in lots of stuff, and it's easier to change around your schedule... maybe... I don't know what everyone else's lives are like, so...

Thank the Valar I turn 18 in two months so I don't need parental permission to go anywhere! ^_^ If it's Toronto, I have a friend there I can stay with, so I guess I vote Toronto. *shrugs* Why don't you all come over to Edmonton? ^_^ jk.

Edmonton's awesome! Our mall? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] crowded, is all I can say. You want to see the dolphins and you're beating your way through a mob! ^_^ Good shopping though. There's this one shop with all these fantasy gidgets and gadgets, and there were SWORDS! ^_^ I wanted to get one, but you need to be 18 to get a weapon. Drat. When I get one, I'm naming it Anduril or something. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You buy, I'll fly!


If you want to organize something, I would try to be there, however, I don't have my full drivers licence yet and I don't think my parents would think to kindly if I missed school soo.... There are some problems. Where would you have one?

Well, we definately have to try! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Although, coordination, cost and in some cases parental permission might be difficult...humhumhum...

*alarming fact: I was reading Tom Bombadil poetry and for most of the day I could only write in lymericks, but it's gone now, thankfully. However, that's way OT*

Oh, don't want to do that! First, because their mom would have to come, as they aren't aloud to go anywhere by themselves, second, as one bites when unhappy. If it's that weekend, I can't go [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] they want me to go see the chamber of secrets with them!
