    Shades of Oakville! I just got off the phone with the owner of the pub, and in the confusion the other day, he forgot to mention that the evening of the opening (Feb 10th) they have a ticketed event. There is a live band playing (didn't catch the name... apparently they play in the Niagara area, and cover everything from Tom Jones to U2). The tickets are $10.00 each and going fast. The general concept is non-ticket holders will have to clear out by 8:00 or 8:30. We have a few choices:
    1.0 Reschedule for another date.
    2.0 Get together earlier in the day (maybe late afternoon?) then hit another local establishment.
    3.0 I don't have a third option in mind, but three looks like more official than two.
    Any ideas? What is the consensus?

    How about option 2.5? We could meet earlier and possibly stay for the band (if tickets are stil available). I like Tom Jones and U2, we will already be n klts so we'll just haveto change into cilts for the Tom Jones set. We do have to support (y)our local drinking establishments. As a contingency plan do you have another bar in Dunnville or do Tim Hortons outnumber them?

    I vote 2.0 with 1.0 as a backup plan.

    Cheers
