Springtime for TFP in Toronto!! **May 13th**
 
Hey fellow Toronto TFP'ers:

I'll be in the area in the first two weeks of May (as I pass through taking my now ex-gf's furniture to Owen Sound), so I was hoping to do a repeat of our Christmas get together. I thought I would throw this out now, so we could get a date hashed out, and then I could plan my moving activities around it.

I'm driving up from Newfoundland around May 1st to the 4th, so I'm thinking that the second weekend (May 13-14) might be better, so that I can use the first week to travel in and the first weekend and the next week to sort out our stuff in storage, and move stuff between Owen Sound and Kingston (my new home), but I want to go for maximum people/fun/photos/beer/etc. on this one, so I can deal on the weekends.

I've got to report to my ship sometime around the 15th (I was purposefully vague on the date with my company, so i could have some leeway to meet up with my i-net buddies)

If this meetup ends up anything like the Christmas one (still at the table 5 hours later!) maybe we should plan our event(s) accordingly.

fresnelly 03-21-2006 08:14 PM

That weekend is an excellent one for me.

Count me in. :thumbsup:

FYI: I will be out of town from May 19th - May 29th.

YKK 03-21-2006 08:15 PM

I'm waiting to see which females answer this thread.

Martian 03-21-2006 08:43 PM

I should be able to make it. I'm going to see what others say first, then I'll look into booking that weekend off work.

Charlatan 03-22-2006 06:26 AM

Anytime that weekend is good for me.

Saturday the 13th in the evening is good.

Dora Keogh was really loud (damn Science Centre types) so maybe we should choose another venue. Somewhere with good beer but a little less boistrous.

We could also opt for a Sunday brunch instead...

Lucifer 03-22-2006 06:30 AM

I just heard from the officer that I will be relieving on the Algowood, and she is in no hurry to leave in May, so that weekend is now totally open for me.

This is not a suggestion of a place to meet, but a nice picture of my new floating home for the rest of the year:

My wife and son will be away that weekend. I suggest somewhere with beer. ;)

Lucifer 03-22-2006 07:01 AM

BBQ at Fresnelly's house!

aberkok 03-26-2006 08:47 AM

I'll make an attempt to keep the Saturday free!

-A

Siege 03-26-2006 05:32 PM

Saturdays are usually good for me. I'll know more when the time comes closer though.

amonkie 03-26-2006 05:40 PM

DAMMIT!!! Lucifer, I swear.. you have a talent for booking events when I have absolutely NO CHANCE of being there!!!!! :p


Monkie is out of this one .. I've already booked a ticket to fly back to AZ and surprise my mom for Mother's Day that Weekend - I'm gone Friday the 12th thru the 14th. :(

Lucifer 03-27-2006 05:22 AM

well, Monk, if you plan one between January 2007 and July 2007, I should be able to make it.

shesus 03-27-2006 05:33 AM

JJ and I are thinking about coming. I would love to meet the Toronto crowd and we might be up for a mini-vacation at that time. We'll know more closer to the date regarding money and the such. I'll keep you all updated.

Charlatan 03-27-2006 05:50 AM

That would be cool Shesus... keep us up to date. Let me know if you need anything.

amonkie 03-27-2006 11:11 AM

Lucifer ... that is so far away! ;p


Get your butt to Rochester...

cellophanedeity 03-27-2006 08:57 PM

I may be able to make it! Maybe...

I'll look into it, but no promises. I'm so sorry I've been neglectful lately. I still love you all!

Martian 03-27-2006 09:09 PM

If Shesus and JJ are going to be there, I'll show up no matter who I have to kill. Who knows when those two hoopy froods will be up this way again?

Lucifer 03-27-2006 09:35 PM

Well then, pack your towel and stick out your thumb!

Halx 03-30-2006 04:55 PM

I can make this if there is a convoy from the NYC area I can hitch a ride with. I wanna go to Canada.

Meditrina 03-30-2006 05:13 PM

ok. Lucifer you have peaked my interest. I will have to see what kind of plans can be arranged for the children. Put me down as a maybe.

halx - I will let you know if I can go. Maybe I can swing by and pick you up.

Siege 03-30-2006 08:19 PM

This is looking to be quite an amazing turn out. Time to coerce more people to come :)

Toronto rules :D

Lucifer 03-31-2006 05:45 AM

Well I'm hoping that if JJ and Shesus can make it, SecretMethod70 and Onodrim can hitch a ride. I'll have to start saving for a room at the Chelsea if we are making a weekend out of it.

Meditrina 04-01-2006 06:38 PM

It saddens me terribly to say this. But I cannot come up to Toronto that weekend. It is Mother's Day. I didn't realize it when I said I might go. It will break my children's hearts if I am not with them. I hope you understand.

Charlatan 04-03-2006 02:18 AM

Hal... you just need to convince Supple Cow and ubertuber to come and there is your ride...

cellophanedeity 04-08-2006 01:51 PM

As of today, I am able to go! I'll try to not change that!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all again! I miss you!

m0rpheus 04-27-2006 10:40 PM

I wont be able to make it on account of my moving...
Somehow I just dont think the GF would take kindly to me buggering off in the middle of it to go to a TFP meetup... :lol:
Next time.

Bring her with you :D

Lucifer 05-02-2006 02:35 PM

Is there anything happening with this meetup? Seems to be pretty stagnant?

aberkok 05-02-2006 03:14 PM

I guess we just need to decide what we're doing. I am available that evening (finish work at 6p.m.). What about 7p.m. Too early?

Does anyone want to go to Lone Star?

Siege 05-03-2006 10:45 AM

Since you're the person who started it, you gotta make some plans Lucifer :)

I'm up for pretty much anything.

Out of towners might want to mention if they're coming, that way we can fit in sight seeing if that's what they want to do.

Lucifer 05-04-2006 06:17 AM

Well, as I explained to a few people, now that I'm back in Ontario, my internet connection is dial up, sketchy and intermittant. That weekend is open for me totally, so you Toronto people put your heads together and come up with a venue that involves some beer. I can stay in the city so let's have some fun.

Lucifer 05-06-2006 05:01 AM

OK, truth be told, I was waiting for Fresnelly to offer up a BBQ evening since, he's footloose and fancy free, however that doesn't appear to be happening. I'd be happy meeting at the place we met at Christmas, but if it's nice weather, a deck would be nice. I was thinking late Saturday afternoon, around 3-ish, thereby leaving the evening open to suggestions. Sunday brunch is at Pappas on the Danforth, that's my only definite plan for the weekend. Eggs Benedict to die for!

Siege 05-06-2006 08:40 AM

your saturday plan sounds fine to me. Sunday, i'm not quite sure if I can make it.

fresnelly 05-06-2006 07:00 PM

Yeah, I'm spending Saturday helping my wife and son get organized and out to door to the airport for around 5pm, so sadly, no BBQ.

As for the evening, how about Margueritas, Cervesas and Nachos at Hernando's Hideaway? It's right downtown on Front St. E by the photogenic Flatiron Building.

I'm up of Eggs Benny on Sunday too. Just not too early. :D

aberkok 05-06-2006 08:50 PM

Hernando's is great, so that gets my vote too. I'm free after 6p.m.

Charlatan 05-07-2006 03:29 AM

Hernando's on Saturday is starting to sound like a winner... But given Aberkok and Fresnelly's schedule, I'd say that 3pm isn't going to work.

6 or 7pm sounds better perhaps.

Lucifer 05-07-2006 01:13 PM

Hernando's works for me, say 7 pm? I'll be the guy wearing the "I 'club' Baby Seals" t-shirt!

trache 05-07-2006 01:28 PM

I see two Hernandos listed in Google; what is the actual address of the one everyone is meeting at?

fresnelly 05-07-2006 04:08 PM

It's the one at 52 Wellington Street East. Glad to have you along! :thumbsup:

Siege 05-08-2006 11:11 AM

Hmm, what's the best way to get there by ttc?

Get off at Front st. take the bus east to church, walk up to Wellington and then west til I hit Hernandos?
