Go train arrives at 4:50pm, and then will make my way across the grounds to Princess Gate. So see you shortly around 5:10pm or so depending upon the walk and line to get in.

Got camera... just need to get out of work to make this. I'll probably be fashionably late.

Hi All,

Ya, I am probably going to be the same -- not there right exactly at 5pm... a few minutes behind as well, as I need to get to the parking garage, pay and park, and then walk up.. so by 5:10pm I will probably be there. I should have made the meeting time for 5:15pm. All good, we'll probably meet, and not head off until 5:30pm anyhow. If anyone needs my cell because you are going to be late - let me know.

The CNE Mardi Gras Parade starts at 6:00pm starting from Princess Gates.

The new Sky Ride might be an interesting ride to go on before and / or after dark again.

If (some of) you guys stick around for the parade, then I might make it on time. If not, then I probably won't.

Go on without me... unless I'm there.

FYI: It will be better to ride the east-bound Sky Ride, starting from Better Living Centre toward Princess Gate. Or you will be facing the sun during the sunset hours. There will be NO shade to cover you on the ride. I spoke from experience, as I was there last week. Therefore 99.9% you guys will not see me tonight.

Have fun and hold onto your camera gear on the rides. What goes up, must come down!!!!

On that note -- ride it over to the meeting spot or ride it over after dinner and perhaps when it is dark with the lights aglow. Thanks Simon for the info.

I just realized... I haven't been to the EX before, so I'm not quite sure where the meeting spot is :/ I guess I'll just look for a bunch of guys with cameras and hope to find you guys!

Some of us have an orange TPMG tags on our camera bags. Also look for tripods as well as there are a lot of other people with cameras.

Hi everyone -- AGAIN: THE MEETING SPOT!!! We will meet inside of the Princes' Gates... This is the very EAST entrance with the giant angel statue on top of it..... its an iconic Toronto landmark. Directly infront of the Direct Energy Centre (I think that is still what they call it), there usually are a bunch of benches -- or some kind of concrete sign holder - we will be there - that is the south east side of the building. It's directly in front of the gates. If you need my cell - again just PM me.

Just an FYI - the TP meetup group is going that night too. But they're only starting at 7:30. There should be lots of photogs there.

Yes, and they are meeting at a different location. But it doesn't really matter... There are always lots of camera's at the ex.

No problem guys..... We got seperated, Maureen, Lali and myself had a good time. I spent a vast majority of the time shooting video clips on the D800... And I am looking forward to editing together a short video for ya'll.
