I KNOW! They look soooooo different in person and now. And as a related
note, did anyone see Michael Dorn on Castle this last week? It was a small
role but interesting to see him in it.

Yeah, I knew that she'd been on DS9, but at first couldn't remember if she was
Kasidy or Jennifer Sisko. She was also First Lady Sherry Palmer on '24.'

Hi all,

I just put up a poll for our next shindig- Nov. 24.  I hope many of you can join
us for dinner, drinks, whatever.

The new Muppets movie is also coming out and it looks pretty funny so I thought
it would be fun, for those interested, to do that beforehand.
Here is a YouTube link to the trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaeXrigYkGY

If you can't make it to the movie or don't want to see it, no problem.  It's a
usually dinner shindig so please come out for that if you can.

Location will be determined by where the movie is playing, so we will announce
the actual dinner venue week of, when the movie listings come out.  Will be one
of our usual places ie Rose and Crown, or one of the Elephants and Castles, or
Mr. Geen Jeans.  Something like that.

Please vote if you can make it out to both the movie and dinner or one of the
two.  I need to know how many seats to reserve for dinner.

RSVP here -
http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/torontofireflyshindigs/polls

Thanks and can't wait to see you all again.

Heather

Hi all,

The poll did something really odd and mixed options up so I just edited it and
did it over again.  Some votes were lost.

Please check and make sure you vote is there.

Sorry and thanks for re-voting.

Heather

Todd, you are right.  They must be releasing it early for U.S. Thanksgiving.  In
that case, Nov. 26 is the date.

Thanks.

Yahoo! Groups will be unavailable for 4 hours from Monday, October 3rd
starting 8:30 p.m. PST to Tuesday,October 4th 00:30 PST, due to planned
maintenance.

Hi All,

This is just a reminder that you only have until October 5, 2011 which is only 2
days away to book a room under the hotel block for the Christian Kane in Buffalo
concert. After that date the remaining rooms will be released and anyone wanting
a room will be subject to the higher rate.

If you are thinking about going and staying over night, you can always book a
room and then if you decide not to go or make other plans you can cancel the
reservation, you have until 24 hours before hand to cancel with any charge.

The nice thing about the hotel is that it is right beside the venue and
therefore you can park there and walk over, allowing anyone who wants to drink
to do so and not have to worry about driving, or even driving back to the GTA
very late and being tired.

Here is the info:

McKinleys Hotel, Banquet
S-3950 McKinley Parkway, Blasdell, NY 14219
Hotel: 716-648-5700
http://www.mckinleysinn.com/

This hotel is right beside the venue! So you do not have far to walk! We
have gotten a rate of $109.00 plus tax and have had 9 rooms with 2 queen
beds and 6 rooms with a king bed put aside for us. The rate includes
complimentary Internet access, parking and free breakfast in the morning.

To book please call the hotel at 716-648-5700 and advise you are booking under
the CKL block to reserve the rate. You have until 3pm the day before(November 4,
2011) to cancel if you end up not being able to go.

But in order to get this rate you must book by October 5, 2011, after this date
any room not booked will be released and be back to its normal rate.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me off list at:
magtag@...

Magie

Kate, I find this hard to believe. Let me contact them tomorrow and I will
email you. Even if it is, I might be able to have another room added.

I just confirmed with the hotel that lots rooms left. They are booked up
outside of the block, so when you call you have to advise them that its
under the CKL block for that day.

And if you are interested remember that if you don't do it by October 5th,
all the remaining rooms with get released and you may not have any left to
book.

Thanks Kate. I didn't get the photo for Julian, I only got the jpeg. Chris
had to actually pull out the card from the camera to get it for me and it
was unedited. But that is cool.

Thank you Patti! And I know how it is. I have been wanting to go to a
Supernatural convention for a long time but I could see spending the money
for both the con & the airfare plus hotel. So I am happy when one came to
me! But still it was an expensive weekend! And in these times its hard for
everyone!

roommate and who needs ride or can give a ride.

yes, under Want to meet up.

If you need a ride, just say yes under Need Transportation.

If you have a car and want to drive some people so you can share gas cost, just
say Yes under Will Share Transportation.

If you want to stay over night, then just say Yes under Staying overnight.

If you want to stay over night but do not have a room booked, then say Yes under

If you have a room booked and want to share, then say Yes under Can Share a room

Also please not of you replied on the poll set up, some of your information will
