Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Confound John Prine, that he could lure us away from such an event. Those are a bunch of my favourite words, all strung together like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 if you do decide to come down, I would suggest doing the weekend, in the park, (montebello--which is downtown, there are food tents, and wine tents and live entertainment, not jambands, but, trust me, its a blast... Everybody around here gets pretty loose, and as long as everyone is safe, the city is pretty cool with that... great time of year and lots of fun, let me know if anyone is interested, and let me know if I can be of assistance.

And if we accomplish that we are also hoping to talk Gatch & Jelena into coming out.Should be good timesI'm also hoping to make it out for this, perhaps even with the whole family during the day in the park. Not sure yet though ... still need to sort out some logistics. But wine, live music, and partying with you cats and with numerodos & the crew of great people from the St. Kitts area sounds like loads of fun to me.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchoulia Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 The implication is that we can sample both wine and grapes--is this true? Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'll be heading to this after visiting my family in Welland, but likely not arriving until the early evening (e.g. 7 or 8 pm).Is there parking right at the Mansion House?Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questcequecest? Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 there is parking at the mansion house, but they may also have a large tent set up there, reducing the lot size considerably. i recall the st.kitts posse parking across ontario st., in one of the lots off of cherry st. this even affords the opportunity for some trunk-beers. you can see this area in the map (link) below:http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=st+catharines,+on&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=43.155137,-79.246584&spn=0.005338,0.013561&t=h&om=1the mansion house is between ontario and william, near st.paul. i would park off cherry st., between trafalgar and salina.i hope to make it there myself!
