Toronto Get-Together - One more time?

let's see

there will be the tall good looking one
the less tall good looking one
the mid-size good looking one

I think I'll be able to find you. :wink:

nice of you to mention me first!

I might be in the area on saturday, so I might drop by.

Blackie, If you live in Toronto, you ARE in the area.

Blackie - it would be really nice to meet you. I hope you are able to join us.

Blackie, If I can travel from California to London for the first European meet, you can certainly travel across town in Toronto. There just ain't any excuse, unless you're in a hospital bed.

Well, it looks like I'm working in the evening on the 24th, but I think I may be able to swing the lunch and the work, provided the client doesn't want anything too complicated.

it is tantamount to 'treason', allowing mere 'work' to interfere with actual enjoyment!!!


[ oh, the excitement! ]

Yep, I shall try my best today to get everything done, so I can make it to the event.

"try"ing is just not good enough!!!

Hmm....is a "try" cycle just training for a shame spiral?

no a 'tricycle' is very cold, made from ice, sharp and spiky, and has one spike going up, one going down, and one..............


LOOK OUT !!!!!!!!

ouch, that must have hurt!

My balls are afraid....very afraid...

be afraid
very afraid


I'll be in the area, wandering around earlier. Wandering toward My Market Bakery for 12:30. Wandering off to be at Kim Hoa at 1:00 p.m.

Hopin' to see a friendly face or two, maybe a new one or two?

have a little somethign for me! Lurking still.

Beth, I think I will be there

I'll aim for 1:00 p.m. but I'm coming from Durham and the Parkway's closed for the weekend AND I still have a couple things to clear before I'll know for sure...but it seems probable.

I'll be the confused looking, blondish, middle aged (say it ain't so) woman in a black leather coat. I should mention *shortish* and nearsighted, too.

I haven't forgotten your suggestion that I troll for free steamed dumplings! That's what sold me on coming!

It will be a pleasure!

Is it just us? Bogowo, maybe Cav...? How will I know you? Is it a large restaraunt? Approaching each table and whispering "Able2Know?" might get me in trouble. Of course it'll be no problem if Cav brings his sign or if Bogowo really is an alien

(Confession: I have never eaten a steamed dumpling)

Joeblow, it would be great to meet you in person.
Blackie Chan has hinted that he (I'm pretty sure Blackie is a he) will try to drop by. Bo, and his bike, will be there. Hopefully, cav and his lovely mrs. fancy. And I'm holding out great hope that Wenchilina will be there. k e v i n hopes to join us at another time.

I know a couple of fast ways to get into town from your area (my parents, hamburger and mrs. h, live in Kingston, so I'm often coming back in from the east end), but I'm not sure how comfortable you are with Toronto streets. I'd recommend (as a very easy route) getting off the 401 at Kingston Road, following that west until it turns into the Danforth - and then pulling into a sidestreet near (and north of) Woodbine - parking there, and transitting it the rest of the way in from Woodbine station. (take the subway west to Spadina - go up one flight of stairs to the Spadina streetcar - take the streetcar south (no other option) to Dundas - and walk 1.5 blocks north to Kim Hoa (on the west side of Spadina).

The Kim Hoa is not large - maybe 10 or 15 tables. I'll try to think of something A2K'ish to i.d. us.

I haven't coloured my hair lately, so I'll be the shortish, roundish, shoulder-length reddish-haired (which may be poofity if it's humid), middle-aged type of female person. (i really need to think of a sign)

hmmmm, since I will be doing some Spadina-ing before I arrive, I will probably have an over-stuffed knapsack, or an over-stuffed knapsack and a collection of plastic bags with me - maybe a bag full of new shoes?

I'll do my best to make it....had a whopper of a migraine today, and I'm running a bit late. Most likely, I will catch you at Kim Hoa. I don't think I can get there earlier than 1 P.M.
