I'm thinking June 6.

Oh, and.. I'd love to do something really cool, so an idea of numbers ahead of time would be really awesome. I would love to organize something like a special menu somewhere or something, but we'd need to know definite PAX at least a week in advance, and general numbers 2 weeks..

The definite Pax is that I don't live in Toronto and won't be there.

Hrmm, can't make June 6th, unfortunately, but I'll keep track of the conversation in case you decide on a different weekend.

By then, I'll be a Torontonian! Why not?

I can make it then, or indeed any time in June except for Father's Day.

Oh, this sounds good -- a meetup without blizzards, deep-freezing or slush! I can make June 6, although the next two weeks aren't terrific. So any time the weekend of June 6, or the weekend before, or the weekend of June 27, are all good for me.

YES. HECK YES.

If there are no blizzards, how am I going to prove I am the ultimate badass by coming up from Hamilton through one?

By: Hildegarde

Hildegarde — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:03:05 -0800

Yep, that's doable.

By: maudlin

maudlin — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:17:05 -0800

Well, it's been a few years since we've seen a tornado around here, dief. See what you can do.

I can't say yes for sure until the time is closer, but I will keep it in mind.

I work full-time at a bakery/restaurant tues-sat now, so friday is not such a good day for me. I'll check this thread periodically in case the day of the week changes, though.

I usually have a hard time planning so far in advance, but it sounds good to me. What were you thinking f?

Count me in as a definite probably, minus any lawyer-type crap that keeps me at the office late (and speaking of which, dirtynumbangelboy - did you ever get that document notarized?)

Not along the Bathurst–Gladstone axis, please. It’s a big city.

If the meetup is indeed on friday, is anyone up for a gandhi's run the night after?

By: thisjax

thisjax — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:30:48 -0800

I'm a suburbs-of-Torontonian again, so I'm definitely up for this. Is The Communist's Daughter too hipstery?

By: dirtynumbangelboy

dirtynumbangelboy — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:01:06 -0800

Good christ man, you and your Gandhi's addiction/obsession...

Anyway, I was thinking Allen's on the Danforth. It's relatively Eastish (as we have been somewhat [DEFINITELY EASTIST] with meetups. Easy TTC access. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous patio. Great selection of beer (and Scotch!), decent food.

Did I mention the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous patio?

Sounds fun, I might come. Doesn't matter where to me. Spanks!

I think i can make it.

By: dobbs

dobbs — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:20:59 -0800

Can't make it. It's mom's birthday.

And for some reason I thought you'd split, dnab. Who the hell am I thinking of?

Sorry kids, out-of-town wedding. Not mine, but still.

Eastist bias makes me happy. I live by Coxwell and still lack TTC-fu.

Dobbs...shhhh he's back, don't piss him off or he'll leave us again in sadness with the weeping and such.

By: SassHat

SassHat — Sun, 04 May 2008 01:21:35 -0800

Also I'd like to point out that I'm [NOT EASTIST] ...(any more).

By: dirtynumbangelboy

dirtynumbangelboy — Sun, 04 May 2008 01:22:35 -0800

DJE. if it'll help. I'll marry ya. You're cute and all. Yes, you can have a mistress.

Considering it, thinking of making a weekend of the trip from the States. Any more news (or suggestions for out-of-towners)?

By: heatherann

heatherann — Tue, 06 May 2008 06:52:52 -0800

[ ] YES [X] NO

Aww, why when I'm on vacation? Can we have a Paris meet-up instead? I could make it to that!

By: dirtynumbangelboy

dirtynumbangelboy — Tue, 06 May 2008 07:03:56 -0800

I don't know what I was thinking specifically.. maybe Allen's (see above re: patio). El Sol can be a shitpile of fun, but not sure whethere it would really be suitable for serious boozing after eating, and there's not a whole lot else in that vicinity.

Suggestions?

you had to choose the weekend of Midwest Banjo Camp ... would've gone otherwise, me being east and all.
