payce-ley Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Friday is supposed to be 17 Celsius with a 60% chance of showers... not bad, and the rest of the weather looks perfect for a May 24 weekend to me... light showers forcast for Monday (chase out the stragglers, like myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm not sure where you came across that weather forecast but here's one specifically for Durham that I found here: It looks really bleak but don't worry "'Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door."

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I haven't put any stock in weather forecasts since I worked as an exterior house painter. Even as the sun pours in through the window out of a clear blue sky, I see the CBC weather for Ottawa right now claims to be Go figure (mind you, it might be pouring downtown for all I know).

edger Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I can handle layering up... I'm just hoping for some dry weather. Besides, that saloon is going to be roastin!A 40% chance of precipitation on Saturday is still in our favour.Hey Jaydawg, better send out more of your {{{{{{{goooood weather vibes}}}}}}}}Pack appropriately folks, and we'll all have a good time!!

mark tonin Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'll be bringing a big, old winter coat and my rain coat, just in case. Hopefully I won't have to use them, or at least not very often.On a related note, it is my understanding after communicating with Mark Wilson that there will be a huge tent covering the outdoor stage. The tent will cover the stage and most of the area in front of the stage where the audience will be. This will definitely be welcome if the weather is ugly.Looking forward to a great weekend, no matter what the weather, but my fingers and toes are crossed for clear skies and warm weather.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Too much clothing: good idea . It's like that old adage about bringing an umbrella so it doesn't rain. Now, is there somewhere within walking distance like a river or lake should one wish to jump in the May waters for a nice morning shock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Now, is there somewhere within walking distance like a river or lake should one wish to jump in the May waters for a nice morning shock? Yes, there is a river (Rocky Saugeen) that is about an hour walk from Frontier Town. There are also cold showers on-site. Both will be very shocking. I usually make a point of showering because I'm a clean sort of fellow and I love the insane effect the cold has my body. One time it was so cold I swear my brain was shutting down every time I put my head under the water. Very crazy feeling. The cool thing is that you'll never feel warmer than you do after a shower like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 OH NO!!! So as it turns out, my father put my car in the shop and now I and my 2 friends dont seem to have a ride to CTMF. This ain't good...we may rent a car but that'll be damn expensive...**crossing my fingers that the car is out by friday** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payce-ley Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) I used Guelph's forecast off the Weather Network (figured they're an hour and a bit apart, more or less same dif) (wierd, did a search for Durham and it acted like I was speaking chinese)well, if its rainin Saturday and we need some sunshine we know where it'll be!(less chance of rain Fri on the actual Durham one!)

\/\/illy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 The high for Sunday says 5C and the low is 0C. Looks like we could have another snowy CTMF.Bring your parkas and mittens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I have a question since this will be my first CTMF. Should I be bringing alcohol or can I purchase it there? Or am I even allowed to bring some? Any other rules or such I should be prepared for? Hmmm, still don't have a ride there and I can't rent a car The bus actually takes 1 day 2 hours to get to durham which kills that idea (and it doesn't come back for like a week I don't think). Money to anyone that brings me. Even a ride from TO would be alright since I can bus it there pretty easily, I'd just have to know what time to arrive (and I'll pitch in on anything). I don't want to ask too much 'cause, aside from a few shows and my new guitar teacher, I haven't really met many of you, nor have you met me and I might be funny looking, you know?

Or am I even allowed to bring some? Any other rules or such I should be prepared for?You'll have to bring your own, it's not available for purchase at the site. The closest place is in Durham, where (IIRC) there's a Liquor Store (and I think I Beer Store, but I'm not sure).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeps Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Matty - I'm looking into a Guelph ride for ya!In fact...get to Guelph and someone'll be able to help you I'm sure.CheersDeeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bring beer! Bring lots of beer! I imagine there's a beer store somewhere nearby, but it's nice not to run out, so bring lots! I would suggest cans as opposed to bottles.I'm no help for a ride, but there's probably lots of people coming from Toronto and Hamilton, so good luck. Everyone should experience ghost town at least once so I hope you find a ride.http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cities/can/Pages/CAON0201.htmthe chance of rain is going down and the temp is going up! I'm hoping that it'll keep raining until friday afternoon then stop for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberg83 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Wow, I'm really on the fence about this weekend. I'm in Waterloo, only 90min from CTMF, but I'm lacking a group of friends to travel up with... I have a vehicle, but I dunno........... already got the go ahead too for some SBD patches... yet still, I dunno...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Go. I won't be there this weekend, so it'd be nice to have a taper there.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberg83 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I know Brad, this is killing me!! If I don't go, I won't get a chance to see JSB on this tour also, which sorta bites... if I can convince one of my friends to come, I'm there... hopefully he/she will have a tent and camping gear, cuz I've got nothing. Might be sleeping in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
