Here's an idea.

Perhaps the reporters could go as supporters under cover and then troll for the information they need by chatting with Sam the Mayor.

Worked with the Vancouver Police Department when they wanted to bag David Campbell of APC.

Actually, I can hardly blame the Sams for keeping the venue secret...the APC or some other nutbar group would serve to destroy an otherwise private event. Even Sam deserves that much.

But if memory serves, the last time one of these "secret location" scenarios was trotted out, it was because they were having a hard time getting the person they wanted to commit to hosting to do so.

I have to admit, though, the vision of Allen peeking through the bushes of Lorne Segal's home is comical...why not just dispatch someone to speak to the media, whoever it happens to be, parked outside such an event?

Once again, media relations from the Mayor's Office a la the Bush White House. Some days it seems like NO changes were made.

Jesus Murphy, even the Prime Minister has more respect for the press than this crew.
