Let's meet on the NE corner of Bloor & St George (near the west exit of St George subway station) at 3pm, if that works for the two of you. There are a couple of pubs close by.

3pm works well for me. I'm wondering, given the weather, if it might be better to choose a location so we can meet inside. That way any latecomers will know where to find us- that is, if more than the three of us will be coming. I've been to a couple of pubs in that area, but don't remember if any are any good- how's the Duke of York?

The Duke is exactly what I was going to suggest! Sure, we can meet there.

To get to the Duke, go to Bedford Ave (if you're taking the subway, still go to St George station, but use the East exit, which is Bedford), which is one block east of St George. The Duke is one block north of Bloor, just East of Bedford (I think the name of the street is Prince Arthur, but I'm not 100% sure).

So the Duke of York at 3pm it is.

Ryan- if you need directions, The Duke of York is at 39 Prince Arthur, and there's a small map here:

I'll be there at 3pm, and I'll try to hang out near the front entrance. Hope you can make it!

It was a meeting of two in the end, but I was happy to discover that Stuart is an even greater person in real life than he is on the forum, and that's saying something. Hope we can do it again!

I only had to buy him 4 pints to get him to say that!

It was a lot of fun sitting down at a pub with another GMAT geek, I encourage the rest of you to do so if you get the opportunity. Great way to get another perspective on the exam and you definitely learn alot more face to face than you do via posting on a message board.
