What's a 3x? I don't know if the Civic Center has enough floor space to be occupied by enough "stuff" to look at and listen to, to be able to draw in enough people to make renting the place worth his while.
We still don't even know what he has in mind.

That's right, the United Way has that big sale where everything is donated by the manufacturers. We still have about 30 jars of Nutella left from 2 years ago. Damn Fererro Factory! $5 for a dozen. lol

The 403 goes right through our city. An hour from T.0, and the traffic will actually get better the closer you become.
403 links up with the 401, which makes it easy for people on the western side (London, Sarnia, Windsor) of southern Ontario to make the trip.
lol dude i love you man, i know how the highways in Ontario go.

guys it cant be some backyard abandoned plazza tho.

where or what is this civic center? there are like only 10,000 places in ontario alone that are called "civic centers". I need their location or contact info.

There's an old empty building/plaza that used to house a Canadian Tire here in Brantford. I have no idea who owns the property now. But that's something you could look into. Not sure if there's any where to drive a vehicle in though. lol
maybe not 100's of vehicle. maybe 100 tops. and yah i guess some vendor space maybe.

What about the International Center in Mississauga? They have several different halls there so good chance of finding the right size. I would imagine fairly expensive as well. I do like the Brantford idea though due to the central location would get a lot more coming from out west.

Not only does Yuli know where the highways lead, but he's also keeping tabs on all the competitors out there. You're like a GPS and you've got all the addresses of all the SPL competitors pre-programed. Bravo, Yuli.

Perhaps having this thing in a place similar to Brantford would allow you to save some money on renting out the venue, and allow for those in the dead-west to be able to attend an event that isn't 2-3 hours away. Maybe the "scene" isn't as alive in that area because its not as accessible since most of it takes place around the GTA.

Now's your chance, Yuli. You can bring your SPL to south western Ontario, and revive them with your heart-pounding bass.

x2 I agree there. GTA will be way more expensive than out in the "boonies" as it were. No offense intended to our out of town members. If I could I would move to the boonies in a heart beat.
