Hey Guys...
It was really great to meet all of you. I really wasn't sure how it would be meeting people from my online life but it was seamless... Thank you all for the kind words above... Kramus, I am really glad you made the effort to drive all the way in to town from Brantford. Your humour is indeed subtle and it would be cool if you were a neighbour... Aberkok, thanks for clearing up the theme between the three pictures (but don't you think the fact that you were wearing silk panties in all three pics was just a bit obscure? ). Please do keep us all up to date on any local gigs you have coming up... I could hear you from downstairs but it would have been good to see you in action. Cellophane, glad you could make it... You shine in person just like you do online. You are hardly a baby, only when occasionaly reminded would I remember with a laugh that you are as young as you are... Muttonglutton I hope you finally dried out... and don't worry if any one asks I will tell them that you are mostly harmless... despite what Cello's Mom thinks. As I mentioned at the pub, anytime any of you just want to meet up for a lunch drop me a PM. I really do hope we can have another of these Toronto meetings and that we can swell the ranks now that they know we aren't all that crazy... I have a few crappy pictures on my phone and will post them once I can download them my synch cable is at the office. Thanks again, to everyone for coming!!!! PS... if it wasn't clear, silk panties wasn't the theme linking aberkok's three photos... keep guessing!

And here I thought your shifting back and forth was because you had rhythm in your soul...

btw you guys mention a subtle sense of humour. I shoulda brought the carp in from the car and made "slap the fish jokes?" . . .
I just had that visual when I read that, you know the Mad Magazine little pics and cartoons with the guy having things go thwock and karang off of his head. I pictured if I did a scene like that - if I'd ever even hear anything about having a subtle sense of humour. You all would be bound to think I was more overt and dramatic. I felt restraint was in order - I would hate for the mom to have to say "I told you so." eh?

Yeah! Fun was had by all! (And I finally got my internet back!)
Very, very cool people, and cellophane and I have already been talking about making it down to techoya's. It's a shame, because I'll be in Rochester about a month before that (playing magic, what a geek), and I wish they could line up. But still. It's not -that- far away, and it would be ever-so-much fun. I love the pictures. And my sweater was wet because of four hours of rain-walking. honest. And the first shot of me looks like my laundry did after the first time I washed that sweater. Greeeeeeeen. Oops. :P Great pictures though, and a great time had by all. Thankyou so much charlatan, for getting us all together! It was a nice little place, too.

Well for what they are worth, here are the pictures I took on my phone... low light is just not good for my camera.
Cellophanediety and Kramus strike the pose! This is the companion piece to Aberkok's photo above... a behind the scenes shot of the shot... Muttonglutton from another angle...

Janey, I've been told to let everyone know when I've got gigs now, so you'll all be subject to my gig reminders from now on. I'll make doubly sure to let you know of any good ones with my big-band. I'll be away for most of the summer, so it might be awhile.
I was hoping to meet you, so it's too bad you couldn't make it, but since this meeting left such a good taste in our mouths (mmmmm.... St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout), I'm sure there'll be another meet-up before the year is out. In case anyone is interested/available, I'm playing at the Rex Hotel and Jazz Bar (194 Queen St. W, at University; Osgoode subway) this Saturday the 21st at 7:00p.m. with the trio I'll be in Hong Kong with. That's Holly Clark on vocals and Mark Cashion on Bass. I know most of you at the meet-up couldn't make it, but it's my duty as a shameless self promoter to tell you all anyway. It's not a big-band (sorry Janey), but I expect it'll be really fun.

aberkok if you haven't planned on it yet you really ought to start a thread about your summer gig and find a way to update from time to time. I am interested and I would be only one of many. You are living a dream my friend.
Janey, that was the one downer of the evening not getting to see the mistress of all things Canadian (TFP style) in person. Someday, maybe eh?

hey! I'm there! I could do it, and it's perfectly legal I think that I would have to have half a beer first tho, so that I have an excuse to be bright red in the face (ethnic problem with booze, but it could hide embarassment). How about the setting? could we make a roadtrip to Kingston? The Martello Towers as a back drop would be dramatic... |

Hey guys...
It's been awhile since this thread has had some activity, and I also want to say sorry for not being able to go. I have been crazy-busy and things are just now getting back to normal. I hope there will be regular meetings from now on. Although I don't know any of you personally, I would like to put faces to names (and photos don't often do justice).

I figure I'd better start visiting t.o. where the visual art congregates - see what's what in the art of the city. So eventually I'd even get a routine going. That would start making a dinner / supper get-together a real possibility. Visiting Kingston would get on the list maybe too, eh?
All in time . . . *sigh

Ok, I missed this why?
I new you were planning it, got the PM's about it, but then didn't hear a definite and since I seldom come on the General Discussion thread until today, didn't know about it. I was checking the Canada section. Ok, I am a moron. I appologize. |

Sorry you missed it... I was sure that we had confirmed in PM. When you didn't show up I figured you had your reasons and didn't want give you a hassle...
Sucks that you just missed the confirmation. Next time for sure.
