Are there any pen nerds who have been to Laywine's or Take Note? I assume Laywine's is going to be immediately overpriced since it is in Yorkville, but heading out to Dundas West seems like a long way to go to browse some pens and notebooks.

I got a pen and fountain pen at Laywine's. They were incredibly helpful and talked to me for a while to find the right choice. Cant speak for anywhere else.

Crazy ass native guy tagging everything with a marker at Queen/Bathurst ha, what's new?

Always some crazy shit going down in that corner. Saw one of the women there fingering another one in broad daylight.

We just had a small earthquake here in Vancouver about an hour ago. There was no damage, but it lasted a few seconds and it got my heart racing.

I read about that. I remember earthquakes when I was a kid but don't remember exactly how it felt. It wasn't until 4 years ago that I felt an actual earthquake and thought to myself "so this is what an earthquake feels like" It wasn't that bad to be honest, but probably that's because all the ones I've experienced haven't been really strong at all.

Okay I'm working the 15-16 and 22-23 evenings so those are no go's.

So do you guys want Jan 9th or 30th for the next meetup?

 

[Sober]

I'm okay with the 9th (even the 8th). Weekend of the 30th is cool too I suppose since us retail bums can call dibs on one of those days off before getting scheduled.

I'm good with either.

 

[Kave_Man]

January 23rd for sure I can't.

Both stores seem to hate the internet, but what are the price ranges like? I saw a yelp review where the guy complained about not getting any service despite buying a 500 dollar pen and I think that's definitely out of the market for me. lol
(I'm thinking of getting a Hobonichi because of that stupid thread lol)

 

[krae_man]

January 23rd for sure I can't.

The options were 9th and 30th.

 

[Kave_Man]

The options were 9th and 30th.

Don't ever give me the numbers!

 

[Kraftwerk]

Man, I'm very happy.

A couple contacted me saying they want me to make them a personal art piece of them with their own pictures.

I make nude, bdsm, religious and experimental art. Not sure if I've talked about it. Just started recently and have had a small fan base so far.

Not sure if I can post the link here without getting banned. Very NSFW stuff on my page.

 

[Kave_Man]

I now see why you wanted to kill me.

To then use my body for your art.

You can come to my basement studio. I'll take some nice sultry pictures of you.

Put spoiler on link or just a big warning. We're all adults or cats here.

I plan to be drunk tomorrow and cell reception is always shit at midnight so Happy New Year you bastards and a here's to hoping for a warm future.

 

[EvilMario]

My apartment currently houses more booze than the local LCBO. Food, booze and games. It starts early for me tomorrow.

 

[Kave_Man]

Gonna watch the Canada game with a few beverages with my buddy then gonna head up to Orillia for the New Year's.

So if anything Happy New Year's y'all and eat shit Kuro.

 

[Sober]

I'm working tomorrow night and my shift will end just as it hits midnight!

 

[jokkir]

Some of the buskers at the TTC stations are so good.

Here's two I took today:
Love On Top - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy-823mSSCU
Careless Whisper (but in the middle of it) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA-Y0AYhEuA

 

[BigJonsson]

Awwww, donut raccoon

 

[explodet]

Any of you lovely people live/have lived down on Queens Quay area?

I'm possibly looking at that area to move into.

It's windy during the winter, and it gets pretty crowded during the day in the summer. If you're close to Union getting access to the rest of the city is pretty easy, and I think they switched the Spadina streetcar to run 24h recently which is nice.

 

[mr.rager]

Happy New Years TO-Gaf!!!

One meetup per month in 2016

I'll organize one

in the warmer months

 

[krae_man]

Anyone else have any thoughts on the 9th vs 30th for the next meetup?

 

[Dr Campino]

30th is best for me. Appreciate that it's a Saturday again.

 

[Entropia]

I will be in town on the 9th, but I'm going to meeting up with some other friends that day/night so, yeah.

 

[chaobreaker]

Another night of C-list artists and musicians playing on Nathan Phillips Square.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the 9th vs 30th for the next meetup?

I'm fine with whatever date but would prefer it on the 9th.

 

[Mhee123]

I choose the 9th

Spoiler

due to my crippling loneliness

, but I'm fine with both.

Also, this is the best winter I've ever had. Go #TeamWinter

 

[yyzjohn]

Happy New Year TO, stay safe!

 

[chaobreaker]

Honestly, how many of you go downtown for the celebrations? I went once years ago.

 

[Quadratic]

Happy New year guys. Been a great day so far, lots of food and drinks to usher in 2016.

 

[ahdurian]

i went in like 2008 and that was it
nowadays i just either stay home or chill at a friend's house for drinks

this year i'm doing the former, and eating a beef patty while watching YT videos and playing my Vita

Happy New Year to me...and I guess all of you too, even if some of you are people who like that "warm" crap

 

[shadowkat]

Never. Fuck all that nonsense. Stay at home or small gathering with close friends.

 

[chaobreaker]

Whenever I think about the new year and all the responsibilities that I will face. I get this feeling of dread that lingers for the rest of the night. This year's feels even worse now that I'm a post-secondary graduate.

I'm like literally lightheaded right now. I think I'll just sleep it off right now.

+1 either stay home or keep it tiny. Honestly I don't catch feelings on new years, I'm perfectly fine doing something small or doing nothing at all. But doing something big or outdoors is always a gatdamn hassle.

I felt the same the year I finished university. It's the feeling of now I have to get a job and I'm going to have all these bills and eventually move out (if you haven't already) and so on and so forth. The list of things you gotta do builds up like crazy. Best way to get around the feeling is to focus on ONE of the things lingering on your mind and just say that's the only one I'm gonna worry about. Once I solve that I'll go to the next thing.

I couldn't get a job, ended up doing some shitty job, moved up in the (huge) company. There are lots of paths to get to where you want to go.

 

[mr.rager]

My friends and I use to do that before but now we usually go over someone's house and just have a party. This New years tho is the first time I'm away from home so I spent it drinking in a bar with random strangers haha. New Years here in Japan is crazyyyyyy. So many people.

As for the meet up, the 30th is best for me. Won't be back in town until the 13th.

 

[Cripplegate]

Yeah, I'll be out of town until the middle of the month, but there's a chance I couldn't make the 30th, either. Probably just wait for the February meetup.

Happy New Year, TO-GAF.

Toronto really needs to up their fireworks game.

Happy new year guys!!

Remember TTC is now $3.25 cash fare starting today. First hike in 6 years. $1.25 more than in 1996 when it was $2.00.

In 1921 it was 3 cents.

As a person that doesn't carry change much, dammit. They really need to add card payment really soon to all the vehicles.
