Grats on niece, Fuzzy!

Cottage again Kat? I know that feel. When my friends and I were up north, we planned on doing a lot of shit, but ended up lounging around half the time. We were also downing a lot of drinks throughout each day, so we got pretty slow and mellow as the day went on.

Yep, at the cottage. When I was a kid, I'd be playing (mostly swimming) all day. Now I could take a nap in the afternoon.

I always kind of want to... but *insert generic Vancouver excuse*

I gots you, fam!

"I'm busy looking for an affordable place before Chinese people drive up the cost of housing even more...?"

"I'm busy looking for an affordable place before Chinese people drive up the cost of housing even more...?"

Very true, but...

it's more like "maybe, but, yeah, I'll let you know. Oh no! something came up!" but not really

Either way, I'm planning to stay here so I'm not in that market.

Gotta go and renew my health card tomorrow.

Will I be waiting in some line for ten hours ? Not looking forward to this

Hmmmm try the Canadian Tire on Lake Shore Blvd; it's close by you too. I didn't wait much there last time.

 

[ahdurian]

i got mine at Bathurst and College
took me like 20mins there? that Serviceontario office isn't usually super busy from what i hear

 

[shadowkat]

Got mine at Kennedy and Lawrence - it wasn't too bad the time I went but it can get busy there.

 

[Entropia]

Sorry I missed the meetup guys, ended up at Snakes and Lattes for the evening.

You can schedule an appointment and skip waiting in line

 

[zroid]

For some reason there's a SDM in Markham that's a PokéStop :lol

 

[jokkir]

Congrats, Fuzzy!!


Also, this morning was terrible on Line 2. The train didn't move for a good 40 minutes. Good thing I found a train with AC or else that would have been killer

Just about a month before Fan Expo weekend, anybody attending?

I keep saying every year after Fan Expo that I either wouldn't go or have to think about it. And here I am looking at tickets.

saw this on RFD if anyone wants a free mug + coffee

I stopped going about three years ago. I get the urge every year but pass it up. The panels all started to just blur together for me. Same shit, different year. The gaming stuff they have tempts me but that's really only something I would go for a day to try out and a single day pass is too expensive.

Commitment to green space....in my Toronto?

Will be cool if this comes together, shockingly forward-thinking move.

Good way to start removing the hideous railway blight near the waterfront. Hopefully they could extend this across the entirety of the rail corridor downtown one day making it our "central" park

Doubt I'll see that in my lifetime.

Last year was the first time I organized myself and planned panels to attend vs. just walking around and stumbling into panels.

Huh, I always kind of liked the trains.

 

[Junior Mint]

No man those trains were such an eyesore in what should be a nice part of the city lol.

On another note fucking Rogers is sending out price increase notices for the grandfathered Corp plans. Fuckers.

To add salt to this, every increase helps fund the Toronto Maple Leafs!

Unless I jump to another carrier.

I mean, I thought they looked good. Maybe it's just my crazy engineer eyes.

 

[Quick]

Everything east of the ACC along Lakeshore could use some cleaning up.

 

[EvilMario]

It's nice that they're dreaming big now, but I feel we'll all be dead by the time they get the park built, if they actually go through with it. Makes for nice renders though and is actually slightly more realistic than Doug Ford's waterfront. But only slightly. I'd still prefer turning the Gardiner into a park.

 

[Zips]

Building a park as a cover for the downtown railway lines isn't a new idea. I remember reading a proposal for it a good 4 or 5 years ago when I was considering buying a prebuild condo adjacent to the tracks. I think the recommendation might have been years old already by the time I saw it too.

It's a nice idea and would go a long way towards helping pretty up what should be one of the most beautiful areas in the GTA, but I'll believe it when I see it. Something like 600 million is a lot for a park when there are so many other projects to fund and go over budget for.

Okay guys, it's August meetup planning time.

I'm thinking August 19th or 20th will work best since that's the mid point between the last meetup and Fan Expo.

Sound good for everyone?

 

[shadowkat]

I don't think I can do the 20th, since I have tentative plans. I can probably do the 19th if I book a day off.

 

[BigJonsson]

August 20th is Diaz vs McGregor II

All bars that show UFC are going to be rammed

I'd prefer the 20th but I'm fine with the 19th.

I'll make sure he brings you that terrible cider they have there.

19th works for me. Working on the 20th.

I haven't tried it yet. I'll remember to bring my Canadian Tire money.

 

[mr.rager]

19th is best for me, have a birthday/farewell party to go to on the 20th.

 

[Sober]

Saturday right now is better unless I can find someone to take my shift the Friday of.

 

[dluu13]

As far as I can tell, both days work for me. Saturday works better.

Ummm... apparently there's a "mysterious clown" walking the streets at night...

Working from my home office today.

Went to get some limes from metro and didn't wear sunglasses, and I am fucking blind. The sun is like a fucking laser today. And I also melted.

I haven't been to la palette in a while. I should probably do that.

Montreal was incredible. Went to a show. Checked out a bar and had brunch.

I am definitely going again for longer sometime in the fall. Gonna research more and check out s ton more places when I go again.

And Christ. That city is much more affordable.

 

[BigJonsson]

BarChef is fun, but expensive and probably crazy packed these days

Canoe has a very nice view
