Well All Right.
I have now restored my logo to my site:-
There was a "mini" Brit gathering in Toronto last week (Me Bru and Paul from Norwich) and there could have been a fourth if
the partying arrangements had been more widely diseminated here in time, because I see that Londoner Dan O'Malley
who had said on topic:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003173#000006
"I am also off to Toronto tuesday morning, leaving Gatwick airport in London at 11:15 am!! Got a ticket for saturday's show
and cannot wait! (I'll worry about the expense when I return!)
--------------------
Dan O'Malley
"
He was apparently at all four concerts and broke away to post a note here under the name "<Dan O'Malley> unregistered" at:-
http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ul...1;t=003173;p=0
where he informed us on Sunday 22nd
"I made it! Saw Gord all 4 nights and met the man himself last night. He signed my ticket and I got a photo of the two of us.
Still a bit shell shocked! I'm using the internet cafe in chapters bookstore on john street, sadly going home tomorrow. But
it was all well worth it"
Sorry Dan I did try to let you know what was going on with other corfidians in Toronto in my private message to you dated May 15th in which I pasted the entire contents of an email from Janice telling you that:-
"there will be an open house of sorts on Wednesday from 4-6 pm in my suite"
and moreover:-
"There will be a post concert room party in my suite each night, Wednesday - Saturday"
also:-
"On Saturday, in addition to the post concert party, we are arranging for a pre-concert gathering over dinner at City Grill
in Eaton Centre "
which I see you read presumably before you left the UK.I was therefore disappointed not to meet you there.
I also as soon as I got back from Toronto on Thursday (19th) posted a reminder on both corfid and the Newsgroup of the plans...
(on corfid at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...f=1;t=003191.)
which was mostt likely too late for you to see.
at the post concert party on Saturday at one point an unknown gent/(possible gate crasher) appeared sporting a D18GL tee shirt and apparently infornmed somebody that he was the owner of number 3 but although I later realised that it might be Dan who I have a suspicion once said that he had an 18GL,I failed to find out who this person was so as he did not make a point
of telling us that he was a Brit I guess it was not Dan.
If it takes place in 2006 I will of course modify the logo to form the basis of an "attendees" badge
Anyway I do hope that a rekindled interest in a Brit Gordfest will lead to a gathering especialy since neither Alan Paynter,Gaby or Jim Nasium made it to Toronto on this occasion. Depending on the timing it is even possible that I can persuade Susan to brave the Atlantic flight again.
