TORONTO MEET - Friday July 7th 2017

[Ferris]

Nobody responded to my other post in this thread, so I can only assume that you either didn't get it or thought it was too shit and obvious to bother with. Well.

My wife (Canadian) really likes it. I just watched that on my phone and she laughed at most of it.

She has never been a step-dad (that I'm aware of though I suppose we all have secrets).

Blodwyn - probably easier to buy $10 or $20 worth of tokens from the machine at Union station, that way you're not always looking for exact change.

Ferris - You don't like Leslieville? Some great bars and restaurants. Certainly better nightlife overall than the Beaches, I think.

Kids in the Hall - mostly very good, sometimes great. Saw them at the Danforth Music Hall a couple of years ago, nearly wet my trousers.

Anyway, let's aim for the 15th at Castro's. If anyone is interested in dinner beforehand, Kyouka Ramen in the Beaches is fantastic.

Good stuff. It's a deal.

Works for me. Leslieville is very nice but the queen streetcar goes through a shit bit between greenwood and coxwell that is best forgotten, before reaching the beaches which is nice again

QD...The Hamilton annual art crawl is happening the weekend you MAY be coming...if that is not another enticement to sample the delights of the Deep South.

We might even see this girl who is from Hamilton and is reminiscent of Nite Jewel (collaborated with Grimes apparently)

Art crawl + music sounds like a plan. Mrs. Q is in Cuba right now, will contirm she's up for that weekend when she's back.

Greenwood to Coxwell is the taint between Leslieville and the Beaches.

Thanks for the mix, Blodwyn, I'll pretend I'm there while shifting fucking boxes. Endless fucking boxes.

Just walked past Allen's and note it has been redone and now bills itself as "AIR CONDITIONED". Nice.

Mrs Q and I were just checking out or new neighbourhood this morning. Looking forward to a pub crawl one of these days. It's important to evaluate before selecting your local.

[BlodwynPig]

Shit, I better book a hotel sharpish...already September.


Any news about next weekend? If you can't/don't want to, there is a Polish guy who has started with us and I'll hike with him...although I am hoping that you will make it.

That neck of the woods? The Only Cafe - you can bring food in and there's a good roti spot opposite. Bliss.

Where you hiking? Sounds legit. Buy bear spray and amuse/injure your friends!

Depends...I was thinking the yonder. i.e. further out from Hamilton than I normally reach by foot - depends if Q and Mrs. Q come and if they have car. You are welcome to join. No bears around here.

[QDRPHNC]

Official - next Toronto meet is Friday 15th in the Beaches. I'll be starting at Kyouka Ramen at 7.

NICE. If Bueller is up for ramen too, I'll make a reservation, it's a tiny place.

[Cuntbeaks]

Why do they call it, Trawno?

[QDRPHNC]

More like Tronno. I really don't know, it's a thing.

I think she's in France.

Oh, I hope I'm not butting in on your dinner-for-uno.

Not at all, the implication was I was waiting to see who would join me.

Hello Buster Sparkles

[Ferris]

Would have been better if Buster Sparkles had stuck with us. Disappointing.

[QDRPHNC]
