I think we should look back to Damax's venue if the Toronto venue is under renovations? 30 TV's is a lot of TV's, and it WAS a pretty sick venue. I also highly doubt there would be housing issues.
I don't think it's that difficult to get downtown from the venue either. 1 bus right in front of the place, and take the metro. Or drive there.
Now, the big issue is costs for West Coast. Are there ways of helping them? Maybe raise a pool for the West coasters? Maybe they can arrive in Toronto and return to Toronto and have NNR or something lift them?
I don't want to impose anything, nor do I want to mess anything up. But if Toronto's current venue is under renovations, I think we should take action to find a more reliable place, regardless of the city.
