It appears to be Allens (or Danforth?) at 8 or 9:00. Dora Keogh next door looks fun to me too.
A. I might need to call someone for directions, as I'm a way-out-of-towner.
B. I don't snore, I'm a "gentleman," and I could maybe use a couch to crash on Saturday night. Hope me if you like. I'll buy you a beer or three.
Dora Keogh is a nice place, never been to Allen's. It's a shame that I probably won't be able to make it this weekend. To get there take the Bloor-Danforth subway line east from downtown and get off at the Broadview subway station. Walk south and take a left on Danforth. If I remember correctly both pubs are just a few doors down. Google maps.
OH HEY, don't, like, NOT come 'cuz you think Shane's going to insist on sleeping on your floor. I have alternate plans. No wuckin' furries.
I just feel like maybe I'm quashing conversation in this thread or something.
Nah, just going to be too busy with work this weekend to head out.
I can't come along, you'd better cancel.
I would really like to come, but I'm in the wrong country.
Geez, I've killed this entire meetup by asking for a couch.
Even though jonson vouched for me on MeFi.
It's okay, people, I've booked into a hostel now.
So what time are we going for here?
I'll be in the city all day, so I'd be up for the 8:00, to rest my tired non-Croc-wearin feets.
Also didn't realize that people from the Mother Ship would be there. I have no idea who any of those people are -- do I have to play nice? Or can I be my usual drunk and belligerent self?
You can be drunk and belligerent?!?!? I should have made plans.
ALLEN'S AT 8:00 IT IS. SHOW UP AT 9:00 AND WE'LL STILL BE THERE. Probably later than 9:00 as well, of course.
Looking at the thread on MeFi (man, does that feel strange -- like the first time I went into a Protestant church), I'd like to remind everyone that The Sadies are playing the Casbah in the Hammer the following Saturday, so it's entirely possible to do both a monkey-meetup AND The Sadies, and not have to sacrifice one for the other.
Besides, Sadies at the Horseshoe is a New Year's thing...
I fully expect to be there 'round eightish. Maybe my wife will lurk in the corner or something. Captain, just act normal. If you're usually drunk and belligerent that'll be just fine. (maybe even better, so I can justify not hauling my stale vintage Labatt's Velvet Porter over)
So did anybody go to this, or what?
Nah. Toronto's a fictional place, dude.
There were something like 30 of us there.
And all we did was slam everyone who wasn't.
And that means YOU.
*points accusatory finger*
I probably would have been there if I hadn't made previous plans. I was actually down near your (points at Capt.) neck of the woods all weekend, drinking to excess.
Rocket, we debated your reason for not being there, and determined it was valid. So no derogatory comments were made about you. petebest, on the other hand...
photos please.
Erm, yes. The pictures. We did talk about pictures, but I forget what developed.
One of us should have a picture of all those magnificent shoutouts somewhere...
Someone was taking photos. I think. Maybe one of the Mefites? Someone at the party next to us? The Willem Defoe lookalike? The mefi paparazzi? Something like that.
Yeah, we kinda got swept away into one of the after-parties for the Film Festival, so you'll probably see us on Entertainment Tonight or something.
And I know we're not supposed to talk about these things, but Penelope -- even hotter in real life. And fun-ny! I had no idea!
But that bellhop could have stared a little bit less when he came to bring us our breakfast. So rude! Penny had him fired, though.
That was Penelope? I thought it was Nicole.
Damn, I need to get up to speed on my celebrities.
Excuses, excuses. Draw some damn pictures if you have to.
> Damn, I need to get up to speed on my celebrities.
oh come on, they were drag queens and you know it.
Tired of waiting for monkeys to appear at a meetup near me, I had my own meetup this weekend. Pictures & shoutouts, too.
*waves to that cutie Helen, thanks her for shoutout*
Now THAT'S what I call initiative!
That's also what I call an adorable rugrat!
*snif*
*puts shoutout on refrigerator*
*hands pete a tissue*
*offers pete a tissue, takes it back, blows nose into it, thinks about giving back to pete, decides that would be too tacky, gives him new tissue, puts used tissue in compost and cleans hands with alcohol rub. gives pete hug*
