True, that would have been nice. We need somebody to sneak us in -- John P ? Sandi ? if you are listening... you both seem to have experience with sneaking into that place :biggrin:

How was it?

I was at a workshop over the weekend so I couldn't go. How was it?

I was working that weekend, I did do Hamilton's Doors Open, great events. I picked up a book covering all the Doors Open Events across Ontario, have to see who is next.

I was up north paddling around and totally missed this (duhhhh). With all the electronic gadgets I own, you'd think I'd put a time alarm on something! The Maple Leaf Gardens adventure was a fluke for sure. PJohnP's eagle eyes and my willingness to 'sneak' was aided by my ability to talk myself out of almost every situation should a security guard have presented himself. "Gosh, I didn't know we weren't allowed in!"

I wanted to see the Lower Bay St. Station used for so many movies, etc. Considering this Doors Open is for indoor shooting, you'd think they wouldn't have it on one of the best weekends of the summer. March or November would be better when the weather starts to turn foul. Too many folks are always outside enjoying the sunshine.

Anyone get anything good they want to post up?

Stephen, if you could let us know what else is coming up, we might be able to arrange a photographic caravan. I can seat six in my vehicle along with equipment. Might be a fun time.

The line up for the Fairmont was so long they closed the line in the middle of the afternoon.
