Toronto Photography Meetup Group

If we're making a go of the ROM I would like to know beforehand as I have a couple choices to make. One, not bring a camera at all and enjoy the ROM. Two, a small bag that may get in. Three, do my usual preferred thing (8MDH) and not worry about getting in. I have a rule about checking bags: I don't. Ever. Never ever. If I can't get in with what I bring and you guys want to do a walk through I'm happy to walk around and shoot on my own or maybe I'll bring a book to read (the bigger bag will definitely be required). I really don't mind doing that, I won't be a party pooper if people want to do the ROM but I will not check a bag.

Edit: I have bag arrangements so ROM or no ROM is fine by me.

ROM bag policy is pretty much the same as the AGO
16" x 12" x 6"

http://www.rom.on.ca/visit/policies.php

[i] All bags entering or leaving the Museum are subject to inspection by Security staff.
Visitors must check all backpacks, bags, parcels, and purses exceeding 16" x 12" x 6" in size. A bag

2:30PM meet time will be at the ROM. We may or may not go in. We'll evaluate whether we go in or not when we get there. PM me for my mobile if you may be late or want to track us down while we're shooting.

At 6:30 we're meeting at a familiar spot to TPMG, The Madison Avenue Pub. Wednesday is wing night and should be able to see the Canucks do whatever they're gonna do. We have reservations.

ions, the last thing i want is hijacking the logistics, but...

the freebie is 3:30 to 5:30--so we'll have an hour to kill on either end. why not meet somewhere yorkvillish or cityhallish at 2:30 and walk to ROM, then walk to victory pub afterwards, quiet and no canucks (whatever that is )

ps. i check in my bags gladly, after stuffing my donkey vest with what i had in the bag

Pub has been chosen. We can meet at 3:30 if people like.

oh well, horse, water, tiny violins...

see y'all 'morrow!

The time selected was for street shooting, the point of meeting earlier when I initially posted, not the ROM. Meeting at 6:30 gives people who aren't right next door to the pub a chance to get there. If people are early I'm sure the fine people at The Madison can find a seat and something for them to do. The no Canucks would be a bad thing. I know for sure there more than a handful that would like to keep an eye on the game. Myself in that list. Meet time is now 3:15 in front of the ROM.

it was a fun day today, good seeing everyone and have a safe trip dima

Thanks to all who came out! It was fun!

To those that stayed home to watch the hockey, see what you get? It's your fault. Your's and The Sedins.' They blow.

And of course, best of luck PotatoEye!

Thanks IONS for putting it together, so is free beer going to be part of all your photo walks.

Good luck with your new venture Potato Eye.

Never met PE... but enjoy his posts. Fare thee well and good luck with the school!

It was my pleasure. Stella Artois and I are currently negotiating a tasty cold refreshing contract. That said, I suspect there won't be more free beer.

So when are we doing a photoshop roast of PotatoEYE????
