Toronto Other things to do in Toronto

Since Hayden has pussied out, I want to make the most of my short time in your cool city. I have an 'appointment' at the Downsview Museum on Saturday morning, a personal 'must see' will be the carousel on the centre island and now I see that "We Will Rock You" the Queen musical is there!

They have a cool 'Lottery' system for day of shows which I think I'm going to go for
~ $25 tickets@!!! ~ on my budget that's scrapable! I'm playing with either trying the thursday night lottery, or friday lottery, or extreem worse case the Sunday - but that would mean a MAD dash back tot he airport! So more likely than not, I'll do center Island sunday instead...




Anyone want to join me for any of these things?

 

Any other weekend for sure but I will be at the convention the entire weekend.

 

As the SFXpo will have most of the attention

.... don't forget about 'Assembling the Galaxy' Exhibit - 15 Quality min. and your done
2 city blocks away

Oh I know, the con will take up a lot of time! But by the same token, other than the carousel and Downsview (which are carved in stone for me) I like to know what else is out there -

Especially now as my father (who is normally incredibly tight lipped about his youth) gave me a mystery - a set of numbers to ask about when I get there! I think they are flight school numbers!

 

Well... if you're not all into SFX... I'd recomend...

Evil Dead the Musical... http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/toronto/ ... It was simply awesome... I so wanted to see it again...

CN Tower... http://www.cntower.ca/portal/ ... puts going to the top of the Statue of Liberty to shame!!! and you'll be right beside it!
