Is it the OverDrive app?
I usually see the cans in those Gateway Newstands convenience stores. There is also a convenience store just a few doors west of the Wheat Sheaf on King Street that definitely has them. Their pop selection is kind of over the top. I've never seen so many different kinds of Monster or Rockstar in one store before.
And like last year, these tickets are free, but first come first serve. And I believe one person can order two tickets.
I just went last year to pick up streetpasses.

How fast did the tickets go last year again? I have work next Wednesday and I don't 100% trust whatever site they're gonna use to work properly on my phone. I remember getting tickets for me and all my friends as soon as they went up though.
Was he/she a big proponent of TPL services?
OverDrive for books, other apps for different media borrowing. They all kind of work..shoddily. They need a better interface, etc.
The one that works flawlessly with a super lightweight and easy to use interface and system is the one I wanted most - the one for e-Magazines, Zinio. I'm so thrilled that current issues are available nearly day/date, at high quality, and download quickly in a light, compact e-reader. Great stuff.
I work for the Toronto Public Library. Glad you like Zinio. As for Overdrive, it's the library standard for eBook delivery at the moment. It has improved since launch but I agree is work to be done to make the end user experience better. Another electronic service we offer is Hoopla. Which is digital video rental.

There is a small sports store just outside and not a part of Pacific Mall that has pretty good prices.
EDIT: it is, but TTC is cheap.
That's... pretty far from downtown man.

Yeah it kinda sucks. I have to read some of the books in my browser (wtf). I need it in epub for my reader!
Good move.
We know who's buyin' next round!
I already spent all my money on Sega Genesis games.
Still looking for some, too. Had a bit of luck with Kijiji and a nearby flea market but not much at yard sales.

Those are all over the place. I'll take a look next time I see one.

I don't even play video games anymore because of this. $80 games are not for me when I can get $0 books from the library *_*
I load them on to my Kobo eReader. Good stuff, I wish there was a more convenient way to do that though.

Lining up for this insidious 3 oculus rift thing...let's see if disappointment comes in 3s...
Edit: yuuuuup!
I feel like I'd be satisfied with cons just for the streetpasses.
I'm volunteering (AN, bleh) and as we're handing out guides and lanyards we want to keep it one per person that is physically there since if we run out (and how are we supposed to know if these'll be used well) it's a pain to get more and so the other guests are essentially trying to hold on to their pass and finding their way around.
But these people don't care! "Yeah I'm picking up for 6 people." "They'll get it when they come here."
But Streetpasses are ace. Got a ton of tokens for Xenoblade and guild cards with super low HRs.

Funny that you're volunteering at Anime North.
I saw a rant from one of my Facebook friends about Anime North's customer service and the power trips some of the volunteers apparently were having. A major part of it is about volunteers yelling at attendees.
Can't say I've really been that hurt over Fan Expo's volunteers (they're okay at best), but I've seen a few rants (incidentally from the same person) about their customer service.
I get that. It's more along the line of if these people are standing around for whatever reason, someone has to say it and I'll yell it if I have to be heard (quiet usually). If they wanna be annoyed, that's fine but I'd rather the guests be annoyed with me then be annoyed with the other guests.
Man now I appreciate my hospital shift more because I can be more personal.
Maybe I'm just not in too deep with conventions culture enough to be outraged. I'm a casual at best.
I can see his point that the yelling might come off as offensive, at the same time, it's probably the quickest way to get people moving.
I've been attending Fan Expo for a few years and seeing people decide to just sit down in the middle of an aisle (outside the exhibition area) or stop randomly is annoying.
For the record, I'm not voicing his displeasure directly at you in a condescending manner. Just thought it was a funny coincidence that I was reading his rant and you mentioned that you're volunteering there.
It's ok, I'm just tired and wanna drink but I'm helping out tomorrow too.
Posting once more for anyone that missed it
Toronto-Age Meetup XII
SURVEY SURVEY SURVEY
Heeeeey everybody. Please take this survey if you are interested in attending another meetup next month. I believe I'll be hosting this one. I'd have preferred to have had it a couple weeks earlier, but life will be busy for me in the beginning of June.
I really want to have another Smash tournament and want to gauge interest in that as well. It'll be 3DS, as logistics of hosting a Wii U tournament (poor Splatoon) will be a lot more complicated. Maybe one day if enough people have interest.
