Good one Cutiepie! (seeing as how this is our thread ). It would be SOOOO much cheaper for you guys. Our dollar is pathetic compared to your's. So if you're gonna do it anywhere, it should be in CANADA, in TORONTO .

Okay, people, I feel the need to dispell/clarify the perception that Canada is chilly...yes it is chilly in winter, but then again so is most of north USA.....
Toronto's climate is pretty much the same as Buffalo.
Vancouver's climate is pretty much the same as Seattle.

Vancouver in summer.... (July and August)...you will never see a prettier city!

Honestly if you want to have a good time no, there's no better place than Ottawa. We have an exceptional night time, tons of ambassadors to hang out with, the Casino de Hull, ect., ect. Not to mention Ottawa in the summer is absolutely beautiful. Plus the english/french mix is very sauve (sp?)
We're only about 4 hours from Syracuse.

Sorry T.O., but this is the place to be.

KABillyMac, I dont think we would know what to do that far north in Canada. We would probably stick out a bit. I wouldnt look unusual in my Red Wings and Khakis up there, would I? (For you non southerners, I am not refering to a hockey team when I say RedWings. Its a type of boot.)

I am up for partying WHEREVER! I am telling yall, greekchat.com formal! Would so Rock. The Senior Members could have a new member workshops for the Junior members, led by gphi2k, and Artmis. it would be great. there could be the 1000 post club, like for alumni.

Of course, you know who would probably show up, threatning all of us with lawsuits and injunctions and stuff. We'd have to get security involved, Mr. H would have to have a bodyguard.

Billy Optimist would be the MC for some reason. I could see kevin DJing, 12Dn94dst, AKA2d91 leading the rest of us in the electric slide, cutiepie2000 would be in charge of Decorations, along with OTW and localsororities. Penguintrax, carnation, AXo alum, ISU_XO and TomEarp would be the hosts. Mikki would get cutest couple with the fiance, 'cause they so in love....

And from the posts I have read, me along with dc1, bucutie, damasa, LSUTigergirl, amycat, KsigRC, lil_g, and QT-Pie would all be at the bar having a grand old time , competing for most embarising greekchat.com formal story.

lifesaver

PS We'd have to have a moment of silence for all our lost greekchaters.com who have gone on to join the omega club, Heather, UCLA Theta Chi, SigEpYoda, etienneSAI, honeybee, and the others. <sniff>

As much as i'm down with Las Vegas or California, I don't think you yanks really know how bad our dollar is.
When I was at daytona for spring break everything I spent money on (food, booze) cost an additional 50%.

What I can't understand is how there's no price difference, for example at fast-food chains. Let's say A BK meal in Canada would cost $5 can., but if I bought that same meal in the states it would cost $5 american

That's why if americans came up here, a $5 meal would only cost $3.33, see what i'm getting at.

LOL. This is the funniest thread I've ever read. Cause I'm sitting here and picturing the pure hilarity of the proposed event. LOL.

I think Canada would be the best place to go, cause financially, it'll be great for you Americans and it'll do wonders for our Candian Ego.

That aside, let's face it. Most of us are beer drinkers (some of us more than others ). And if you wanna enjoy the party, where better than where the REAL beer is? HUH???????? We'll supply the Molson, ya'll (always wanted to say that!) supply the embarrising drunken moments. So what do you say????

Talking

CutiePie2000,

Those places sound awesome. However, I'm not much of a skier *LOL* I basically rolled down Squaw Valley once *LOL* I guess I should of started with a training class at Boreal. The only place I've been to in Canada was Bamf? when I was a baby my parents took me up there and they told me its very pretty up there. Canada would be an awesome trip and GPHI2K, your pretty convincing *LOL* Gotta love the cheap prices on the tasty refreshments. However......, AMY has an excellent point. I've never gone to Vegas and they do have cheap airfares from all destinations. *LOL* Especially L.A. I'd be cool with what anyone decided. Lifesaver, you got me rollin with that picture. Actually one time I helped out this AXP DJ a Wedding Reception Before. I dont think its me but hey I'm for the mission. *L* You know I'd be throwin down with all kinds of music. Especially ERASURE, DMB, LIVE, SKA, G FUNK. I definitely would take all the special requests from the ladies. I love the picture with John walking around with his bodyguards like MIB. LOL More and More I think about it its got to be VEGAS. Yep.

OK--my vote still goes with Louisiana. Y'all have no clue how much fun it would be. Just ask my girl BabeLSUSA...I know how to throw a GOOOOOD party. And I know my girls prospectiverushee and juniorgrrl will back me up on how good the food is down here. The food is WELL worth the trip!!!!!

Lifesaver--I loved your post!! For some reason I could see BillyOptimist being the MC too. He just has that type of personality. OH...and I think I would definitely win the most embarrassing story. I'm such a klutz and I do the goofiest things sometimes.

BillyOptimist--I'm still willing to get Britney to perform for you if you come down!!! LOL.

And for all of my fellow Dave lovers...I would have him come down and of course since I would be the hostess for our little soiree he would pay me all of his attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
