I appreciate the sentiment, at least.
It's not absolutely critical. A visit from Charlatan is a rare enough occurrence that it's something I'm not going to miss regardless; I'll figure something out. It's just that this way would streamline things considerably, so I figured I'd swallow my pride and at least put it out there to see what happens.
I'm more than willing to pay my way in kind, too. I'd offer to cook dinner, but it seems like there are few to no TFP'ers in Toronto who don't eclipse my meagre abilities in the kitchen quite handily so I don't know that that's a particular kindness. I am more than capable of doing dishes, supplying wine or beer (or even liquor if that's your thing) and I'm good at menial labour. As I imagine we'll be going out at some point, I could even pick up dinner or a portion of a drink tab (maybe even all of it, if it's not exorbitant) in exchange for hospitality.
I'd just get a hotel room, but as I'm not working at the moment and this is right before rent comes due, I'm going to be straining my cash reserves as it is just by making the trip and any miscellaneous expenses, so that would probably be unwise on my part.
We'll make it work no matter what.
