Summer babblers gathering in Toronto!!

Hey folks!

Who can come to the summer gathering of babblers in Toronto?

Meet Michelle, oldgoat, rasmus, jrose and me! Rumour has it Kim may be making an appearance.

When: Friday July 17th

Time: 7:00 pm and onwards!

Where: The Old Nick, 123 Danforth. TTC: 1/2 block east of Broadview subway station. By car: very close to the DVP exit at Bayview/Bloor.

Hope to see Toronto, GTA and visiting babblers there!

Michelle

I hope we get the same server as last time. :)

oldgoat

I hope you tipped him REALLY well.

Michelle

Why of course - I always do!

Papal Bull

Hmmm, this may fit into my schedule quite well.

Michelle

Yay!  It'll be great to see you again, PB.

jrose

I've been pathetically absent on babble as of late, but I'm back, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it on the 17th!

I'm planning to get there, but can't commit 100% quite yet.

Michelle

YES YOU CAN.  And you will.

Radiorahim, Polunatic, N.R.Kissed, Sineed (among others)...you're all expected there too.

The moderators have spoken! :D

Papal Bull

Well, I'm totally clear. I've found a place to crash in toronto, and i don't have to work til' 5 the next day!

What part of the city is this anyway? Heard of danforth but aint that downtown?

Stargazer

It's Broadview subway R_P. About 3 stops east of Bloor station and the bar is 5 minutes from the subway.

Michelle

Oh...Stargazer too!  You're coming, right?  And R_P, it's kind of far out of your neck of the woods (I'm closer to you since I live in the west end, but not as far west as Rexdale) but you're more than welcome!

Rexdale_Punjabi Rexdale_Punjabi's picture

Im not gonan ride a subway for like 3 hours still lol

 

edit - TBH like it low on the priorities not even gonna lie if nothing else goin on which it proly will be I might drop by but I dont think I will n I never heard of braodview station lol. See the roads I know are like Finch, Martingrove, Kipling, Islington, Westway, Eglington, Dixon, n Rexdale. Could add more but that basic really just I stay in the hood mayb hit up brampton but I really dont know that area at all lol.

Lard Tunderin Jeezus Lard Tunderin Jeezus's picture

Straight across the Bloor line, it's only a half hour one way - three stops past Yonge. How long does it take you to get to the subway?

Rexdale_Punjabi Rexdale_Punjabi's picture

See i aint got a clue where bloor is heard of yonge. Hmm fastest is like 40-45min on 191 if it running well to Kipling station. Give it like a hour cuz if im waiting less it means it rush hour anyway so u know. Other routes (46,45, 45E take even longer still)

 

Kipling the 1st stop when going on the green line on the map farthest west.(still aint gonna lie this is all the times I been on the subway once in grade 6, then think once last year, once this year lol)(n I only been downtown like a max of 3-4 times so I dont know the area at all)

Joey Ramone

Gabba gabba hey!  The Ramones live not far from Broadview and Danforth.  Maybe I can make it too.

Stephen Gordon

Obviously, you people all knew that I would be visiting my sister in Don Mills that week.

And that I was heading home on Thursday the 16th...

How can I refuse a direction like that from the moderator Godesses (and Gods)?

The first Strongbow is on me!

Rexdale_Punjabi Rexdale_Punjabi's picture

Michelle

Well, we're only concerning ourselves with what happens in the pub. :) 

Anyhow, here is a google map for those who need directions.

Bacchus, that would be nice!  You should show them off here, too. :)

 

Michelle

PFRD, we should see whether Montreal babblers would be interested in getting together too, in Montreal!

Michelle

Yeah, it's the 401.

Bus routes?  You can get to Kipling Station, right?  Get there, and then take the subway line east all the way to Broadview station.  That's Broadview and Danforth on the map.

Thanks for the map, Michelle. I've been lost in Toronto too many times to go without one. :)

N.Beltov N.Beltov's picture

I'm game for a Vancouver Island babble get-together. Maybe the mainland, but that's my second choice. Any takers?

Michelle

Are you in Vancouver, N.Beltov?  Why did I think you were in Manitoba?

M. Spector M. Spector's picture

Last time I checked, Vancouver wasn't on Vancouver Island.

I hope that's in August! I've decided I'm going to head to Quebec and would really like to meet some babblers while I'm out there.

N.Beltov N.Beltov's picture

I'm on the Island these days.

Michelle

Apologies, I mistyped there.  Vancouver Island is what I meant to type. :)

Caissa

I hold the Saint John get together every evening. Smile

Timebandit Timebandit's picture

Maybe the Sask babblers should all meet in Craik.  I know there's a few of us in Regina and Saskatoon.

johnpauljones

I would love to meet with everyone. But a favour in future can we not schedule the get togethers so close to the start of the sabbath -- or on the sabbath

 

I just cant go for 7pm and then be home in time for shabbat dinner with family.

Michelle

Aww...too bad. :(  I'd have liked to meet you.  I didn't even think of that.  We'll see whether we can do one on another weeknight in future if you'd like to join us! 

If other babblers across the country decide to hold get-togethers, please post about them!  I'd love to hear how they went. :)

N.R.KISSED

I will be unable to attend due to a cat sitting engagement in Fergus

Michelle

Bring kitties along! :) 

Seriously though - too bad.  Next time!

Maysie Maysie's picture

That's funny, I know a cat named Fergus. See you next time, N.R.Kissed.

Slumberjack

I'd like to host a similar event for Cape Breton babblers, but I'd have concerns about being the only one, and about what the ensuing conversation would be like without a moderator to intervene.

Wilf Day

Regrets from Port Hope, sorry. A family member will be just back from a week's camping and will expect my presence. Laughing
