I'm just new here but this sounds like fun... how much is it to do this and what do you usually do?

rent a site, buy 4 bags of wood or so to contribute to the party site and a tent, food etc... overall 100bucks could do it. (before booze)

One month to go.
Something tells me we won't be going swimming this year! HOLY CRAP!
Seriously, we are actually going weeks later than we usually do and it has always been tropical in years past!
Oh well, it still is THE premier FocusCanada event of the year and such a friggin laugh fest and I am sure this one will be NO exception! An annual tradition since 2005, this will actually be the 5th time we've done this and lived to tell about it.
For the newbs and fence sitters:
Us veteran Focus campers are such a freindly and welcoming bunch; the booze helps in that regard! Just book a site be it close or far from the action depending on how important you value sleep and other than that just show up.
We have perfected how to organize a car meet over the years. The core group picks the same time and place year by year and there is no debate or discusion; one either shows up and enjoys or doesn't and misses out. A party just isn't an event unless I show up yet even I missed the 2006 one because I was "distracted" but que sera sera it went on all the same and the guys had fun without me.
Surprisingly its not ALL about drinking and in fact: wives, GF's and even a few single girls have shown up in previous years and had a grand time. We actually do other things like go on hikes, swim, visit museums/visitor centres excetera in addition to pounding drinks; albeit hungover.
GOOD TIME

You may be ok, but I'm sure everyone would be sleeping/passed out on their backs just to be safe.
And alas, once again I can't attend. *grumble*

What in the fawk is that?
The lamest cop out oever?
C'mon. There is no political tension. We make fun of you NBers, you make fun of us Southerns.
At the end of the day we all drink beer and it exits out of us the same way.
Please do go. I am not attending and I know Andrew could not give a s*** about the "political stife".
I hate camping. Hoteling yes. Camping no.
Have fun and go.

What better reason to make fun of Buffalo...
I still remember Todd telling us after the Sabres game to " keep driving, don't stop at the nearest McD's"
That says it all right there folks, when even the natives wanna get away from downtown Buffalo :blink:

I remember going into the McD's after the sabres game since our section won free big macs... and not just amazed that they fit one buffalo behind the counter, but 3 -- and even more surprised that they didn't eat all the big macs.
good times!
Seriouly, NB'ers, Torontonians, Buffalonians, or whatever are all welcome. we joke around, we tease, and go for impossibly long hikes.. you can do as much or as little as you like.
The fact of it is, everyone is out to have a good time, and we're all friends around the fire... that's all that matters.
