Hiya Salty, nice to meet you.

I used to work in Port Credit when I lived in Toronto. It's kinda neat there.

A bunch of us are heading out to the London, Ontario Lesbian Film Festival, April 15-17 (but I think the 16th, the Saturday would be best to meet up!).

I've been there before, and they have great films--Canadian and International--as well, there is a dance on the Saturday night: *Dukes of Drag and Women's Dance*.

If interested in meeting up with us, please PM Betenoire or myself and we can decide upon a time to meet outside the theatre etc.

Here is the festival website: http://www.llff.ca/index.html

Unfortunately, the line up for the actual films are not yet posted.

Come join us for some queer camaraderie!

betenoire · 03-07-2011, 06:52 PM

Thanks for posting this, HSIN.

So far:

HowSoonIsNow
betenoire (me!)
oneye (my lawfully wedded wedded person)

are going for sure.

And I -think- ABb is also coming with?

I know me and Nick will be there for the Saturday films. I would -like- to go to the dance and to see the drag kings, so I'm just going to go ahead and put my foot down and say we'll be there as well. Because I like to play at being the boss.

Oh my god, I wish I could go. :magic carpet:

I just called their host hotel: Delta Armouries in London and booked my reservation.

http://www.deltahotels.com/en/hotels...don-armouries/

I received the festival room rate of 89 dollars (this is a NICE hotel!) per night.

I had also joined (didn't remember that I did this!) and therefore receive FREE wireless access for the nights you stay if you join the Delta Privilege Club prior to booking. I don't know about anyone else, but free wireless is huge for me! So, if interested, you can book for a really great hotel and join the hotel club membership first before you book.

There is no code that you can input directly into the hotel website, so I would just call the hotel directly.

I just asked for the rate for the London Lesbian Film Festival and they have a block of rooms available for the really good rate of 89.00 (tax not included) for a sweet hotel.

This is really good considering I stayed recently at a highway hotel for more than that and this is a historic hotel in the heart of downtown London!

(no, I am not affiliated with this festival!)

Oh Ms Chancie, I would like it if you could go too.

HSIN - I don't think that Team Sarnia will be staying overnight, unfortunately.

I'd be all over that but I KNOW that particular battle is one that I won't be able to win. (However - that totally is a good price on that hotel.)

Ahey ya.. Ontario dwellers..... i travel al over Ontario just about... would love 2 meet up smtime.. can not get on line while there.... can get yahoo IMs...most the time hope you al r having a great holiday.

Wryly · 03-07-2011, 07:20 PM

Damn - I don't think I'll be able to make this. But it does sound like a lot of fun. I'll try to see what I can do.

Hey Salty! How are you doing? I love Port Credit - but it has been a while since I've done anything more than a drive along Lakeshore Road.

Sure you can make it!

If you bring a carload of people it'll cost less to travel -and- I'll be your bff.

C'mon, I used to drive from Toronto to London -all- the time just to go to a bar for a couple of hours and then go home.

(I forget where you are from though, Wryly. I'm bad like that.)

ETA - oh yeah, Niagara area. Duh. YOU CAN DO IT.

Wryly · 03-07-2011, 07:30 PM

Betenoire - I'll see if I can switch what I have planned that day (sporting event in Toronto) but I'm not sure if I will be able to. *sigh*
I don't have a problem with the drive - - I used to do Toronto to Windsor all the time.....when I lived in Toronto. Now I live near the Falls - the drive to London isn't bad at all.
But, like I said, I have something else scheduled already. If I can switch and make it to the festival then perhaps I'll get a hotel.

morningstar55 · 05-22-2012, 01:45 PM

well im still hangin around brampton Ontario... waiting fora load.. kinda bored , kinda not... this truck stop has free internet... but super uncomfy chairs.. oh well....... bbl

I am new to the site and asked one of the moderator's if there is a Canadian thread. So... I for one am very happy that folks are posting in here.

Actually I think we should have a Canadian gathering of members, has this been done recently does anyone know?

Seriously! My favourite positive stereotype about Canadians is that we are nice. I like to reinforce that one.
