I'll definitely have time for this. So no registration necessary. Just board the shuttle bus from Union and it takes you straight to the event?

On reddit they mentioned something about it kind of being a first come first served kinda thing. I think there's limited space so leaving early might be a good idea. It looks like the shuttle bus is just another option to get there. Personally I'm just gonna leave early and take the TTC

I'm starting to hate taxis even more...
Was waiting for the bus today, and a taxi had the nerve to come up to me, roll down his window and asked me if he could take me anywhere.
I said I had a Metropass and was just heading to Kipling Station (like a 5minute bus ride), so it was alright, but he still tried to convince me to get in and let him take me to the station because he'd get me there before the bus came to the stop

what is there to hate, you need to get somewhere and he says he is willing to get you there for a fee?
it was more annoying that I told him I was fine, even telling him I had a metropass, yet he was still insistent on make getting in his cab.
He was more likely trying to make a quick buck, since he was probably on his way to the station anyways

I understand the annoyance, I just go the usual Toronto way and say "Are you fucking deaf? I said no."

Went to the Jays game today. It's really too bad I have to drive to Seattle just to watch a Canadian team play. Vancouver is a one sport town lmao.
Anyway, got a meeting at Rotman at UofT tomorrow that ends at noon. Was going to go shopping on Bloor for the afternoon. Yall have much better selection of the fashion style I like (European and New York inspired rather than Asian and LA). Anyone wanna recommend a unique Toronto shop to check out some cool stuff?

Oh I thought it was supposed to rain today. Looks sunny. So I'm good 
Not really my nerdy scene but I'm pretty sure that you can still just get off at Osgoode subway station and walk west on Queen to get your fill of 'unique' Toronto shops.
How long you in town for?
That's pretty low on the list of reasons to hate taxis.
lol, there used to be Arbys in the Eaton Centre and other mall food courts, but they've evacuated from the city over the years. I think the two nearest locations to Toronto now are in Ajax and Burlington.
I can't remember the last time I saw an Arby's. I only ever saw them in malls.

I dont have any friends anymore.
My friend used to think she said "I'm so hungry I could eat an army."
His reaction when I told him the actual line:
"Oh...that's...that's much funnier."
Ah ah I see. I'll be doing the same then. Thanks for the heads up.

"Another day of feeling like 40. When will relief come?"
"As for relief, temperatures will fall as the week progresses, but the intense humidity will remain, keeping high humidex values in place."
So, never. Thanks, Weather Network.

Best subway ride ever?
My dog does well on the subway and buses, but hates the movement / shaking of the jank streetcars.
You get some interesting reactions taking a 'big' black dog on transit though. I've had people bolt out the door to switch cars, people jump up on seats, sometimes a TTC person will be an ass too. "You're responsible for that dog, right?" Mmm, yes, of course? Sometimes I'll pick him up and carry him through a place like Bathurst Station, where it's busy and he is very skitterish on the floors there. That'll get some looks too, but that I understand.
He likes attention if someone will give it to him, but he's content to just sit there and anxiously await our stop.

Glad the first day went well even if poor Chewie has to adjust.
You could probably take Megabus. I think they are cheaper than VIA rail. There's wifi and charge ports on the buses too, but GAF is inexplicably blocked due to "games".
I did a Toronto-Kingston round trip for $70 once.
Good idea! I have always taken the train but this will be a good opportunity to see how the bus is. Looks like there is a 9:00pm on Sunday route. Cheaper too
To get some idea of UofT find Convocation Hall. It's in a section of the university that actually feels like a separate campus. The rest of it is just tons of buildings scattered across the downtown core. Walk St.George between College and Bloor to get a sense of that. I guess walk into the Rotman School of Management building too. It's on the same strip of St.George.

Tempting. I rarely ever go to the East Side.
Sony always caters to us West Side folks.
$70? You booked late. I got to Boston for $12 once.
I didn't realize the Montreal bus stopped in Kingston, thought it stopped In Brockville.

Definitely gonna check it out for maybe 2-3 hours. Might as well since I'm not doing anything.
Since there's limited space I guess I should leave pretty early

Believe it or not but they have a shuttle bus from Union Station to take you there.
I guess they know it's a hassle.
An Xbox tent at Union Station? Ok, I might try this out.
