Dear Christine:
I agree with you and I am very open for any suggestion. This is why I am calling all the places anyone metions. I had the sdm,ae idea s you, close to the Union Station, since the Winterlicius is going on the spaces are very limited.
I am including a link to the Winterliciuos website to those who are not sure what that is.

yes, Eva, I was thinking of Winterlicous too, this is a great opportunity to try some nice meals (I did it in the summer when they had similar specials on).

| Bojana is not available | Jan 13, 2006 |
Bojana sent me an e-mail. She is dealing with some family issues and she will not be attending this event. I am happy to make the reservations and all, just let me know what you think. Again, I do not have a personal preference and I will call any restaurants you may suggest. I will provide an honest, objective post about what the restaurant has to say.

But this is confusing - I see that Bojana says she will not attend, so who is now organising ? I don't mind whether we go to the Boiler House or the Spaghetti Factory, but I definitely prefer Toronto to Oakville.I will fit in with the majority. I would like to know if there's an agenda, though!

| Definite yes for a Toronto location | Jan 13, 2006 |
Hi all,
I am fine with either Spaghetti factory or the Bolier house or any other place in Toronto. I'll be definitely attending if the powwow is in Toronto.

Spaghetti Factory is closer to the TTC. So it can be the first choice.

My take on the how "special" it needs to be...We should be able to hear each other without shouting....

AQUA (Corner of Yonge and Front at BCE place)
Even though the Winterlicious Festival is happening in Aqua also, they do serve a la cart as well. It is not a cheap place and their Winterlicious menu is outstanding and an amasing value. Aqua is in the BCE Place and can be accessed underground from the subway or from Union Station.
$20 Lunch
plus taxes and gratuity
Acqua’s Daily Market Soup
or
PEI Mussels
steamed in a coconut green curry lemongrass broth
or

or
Spicy Lamb, Pine nut and Arugula
thin crust pizza
or
Chicken, Mushroom & Pearl Onion Pie

Acqua’s Maple Crème Brulee
or
White Chocolate Parfait

Shopsy’s (NE Corner of Yonge and Front)
Shopsy’s is a Deli Restaurant, quality food for the money
They would be able to seat us to a more private section. (I never been there.)
They told me that is not to loud and we would be able to hear each other.
Website: http://www.shopsys.ca/ (menu is there also)
The details of the other two places, the Old Spaghetti Factory and the Boiler House are above.
We would meet at 12 PM.
I will need you to decide between the four options. I also need to know who will attend.
If you wish to e-mail me, please do so. ▲ Collapse

| thanks, Eva / deadline for signing up / next steps | Jan 13, 2006 |
First, I wish to extend my thanks to Eva on behalf of everyone for getting the ball rolling.
My vote goes to Aqua.
I would suggest that everyone update their entry above, specifying whether they will attend or not (no maybes) and indicating their first choice of the four restaurants by Sunday night in order to make the necessary reservation.
It would be nice if someone would volunteer to organize the agenda (maybe someone with previous powwow experience?)

| Who will be a responsible person | Jan 13, 2006 |
If Bojana will not attend then perhaps we should find another person willing to organize everything, change the date or call off the whole event. Who would like to take over?
| | | |
| just postpone a few weeks | Jan 13, 2006 |
It would be a shame to call it off, but maybe we need to find someone to replace Bojana and have a few more weeks to get it organized properly? A lot of legwork in terms of location has been done already

| why postpone? | Jan 13, 2006 |
It seems like we have already decided on the date and time and narrowed down the locaton to downtown Toronto, thanks to Eva... Plus there is still two weeks before the event...

Aqua does sound pretty good...

I think Eva already has done so much calling all those restaurants and finding out menus that she could take the organization over without any problems. Don't you agree? It would be stupid to postpone the whole event now just because Bojana can't attend it. Besides if it takes place in Toronto I'll be there for sure.

Really, we just need to choose between the locations. Does not matter what the date would be, the locations would stay the same. Three places are very close to Union Station, the fourth is a 'bit further. The three places that are the closest (in the following order) Aqua, Shopsy's and Old Spaghe...

Afteer we decided on the location and on who will attend, I will make the reservation.
Did any of you attend any of the powwows before? Is there any specific issue you would like to talk about? ▲ Collapse
