What we should do is set a date a few weeks from now so that most people can book off free time.
-
I agree. I’m in Brampton and I prefer more time in advance when planning to go to Toronto. Until I manage to move downtown eventually.
-
How’s June 11 or 18? (Sorry about the late response I’ve been killing myself at work recently)
-
Sure, 11 is okay.
Btw which strip is that C&H character from? One drawn by Kris? (If you know what I’m talking about…)
-
-
-
11th sounds good
-
Yeah 11th sounds good. Where do we wanna meet?
-
Good question – I’m hoping someone who’s more familiar with downtown than me can suggest somewhere so I can learn new places :D – my suggestion if we’re meeting in afternoon is the Green Beanery cafe by Bathurst station?
-
Just a suggestion: 2 places? We could start at point A (e.g. coffee) then take the scenic route to point B (e.g. food? dessert? event?).
Then again, I’m terrible at planning. So whatever’s easiest.-
Sounds like fun. Also spontaneous exploration is one of my hobbies :D

The first auT.O.straddle meetup was a resounding SUCCESS! (even though it was only me and Christine, she is super cool and also very hot and my #1 Feeling is that I’m sure ALL of you/us are. She’s a scientist guys! A SCIENTIST)
SO I suggest we do this again/with more people next time. Suggestions of date/time/place//when are y’all available?
(have…[Read more]-
I agree, this was a very enjoyable evening. Looking forward to more meetups :) (Also, parentheses are the best punctuation marks ever invented.)
-
Haha k firstly your awesome use of punctuation made me happy.
As for the ‘when,’ most Fridays and Saturdays work for me (except maybe next Saturday) and any place is good as long as it’s near some form of the TTC.
Oh AND that reading sounds great. I haven’t actually read the book but I’ve read ABOUT the book and it sounds reaaallly interesting. If…[Read more]

I’ll be wearing a purple hoodie at Sin & Redemption tonight! These are the times I wish I had an Autostraddle tee shirt.

Did you guys read the Autostraddle post about the book Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme? They’re having an event/a reading in Toronto on May 17.
Anyone going? (Sorry for hijacking.)
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=159673497427323Also, just curious, anyone know how to skateboard? How much does an adult skateboard cost?
-
I saw that and was considering attending if some miracle happens and I can get out of work early.
-
depends what board you get. Are you just looking for a deck?
-
Um, a regular starter skateboard for a newbie? Nothing fancy and nothing that will break and scar me. I don’t want to make a big investment in case I really suck and want to give up, but I’d want to keep it as a footstep.
Does that make sense? :-s-
Haha yup I know where you’re coming from. Basically if you want to spend $100 or less it’s best to just check out Craig’s List bc there are actually quite a few good used ones there. Just make sure you ask what the size is (check what size you are online – it’s based on height). If you want GOOD advice then I’d suggest going into a place like West…[Read more]
-
Thanks. I saw some postings and pics on CL. I think I’ll buy a new one. I don’t mind used items but I don’t think I can trust my life to a used skateboard (the pics I saw, the skateboards looked beaten down!).
The learning aspect, is it okay? I want to try skateboarding as a childhood do-over (darn intense wobbly feel that I hate).
-
Yeah that initial wobbly feeling is kinda shitty haha. I actually did the same as you, never skated as a kid but Rodney Mullen makes it look like art so I thought I’d give it a try. After a couple sessions up and down the street you’ll get the hang of it so I’d say the learning process is pretty quick. Also, even though you may or may not look…[Read more]
-
I bought a longboard online! The AS post of the video of the longboarding girls won me over.
I’ll get to test it out in a month when I get my hands on it. I’m gonna suck major ass…
Thanks for the advice! :-3

MEETUP INFO:
This Saturday 14 May 2011
Where do you peeps want to eat/hang out? Discuss!-
I’ve a 51% probably of going… I’m in Brampton but can go downtown. I’m terrible at suggesting places. I don’t know why…
…Toronto Eaton Centre? -
I am not a guru of downtown places as evinced by my post below but for fooding, Sin & Redemption on McCaul just south of UofTcampus is a nice pub, has a great beer list, pretty good noms and an awesome name. (It is also across the street from a church. That made me love it a lot. Haha.)
-
Purrrfect! 8pm sound good?
-
Great. See you there :)
-
-
Before, at St Michael’s Cathedral, on the announcements paper they give out, one of the ads was:
“GO TO CHURCH
South of Bloor
SPIRITS
Bar & Grill”Darn it’s not convenient for me to go tomorrow but have fun everyone
:-3
-
-
I’m down but I’m from msaug so I’d probably be horrible at suggesting places. All I know really is the Hotbox Cafe haha :S
-
Ah can’t make it for 8, Jason Bonham’s playing tonight! Have fun you guys :P

Hey all!
I figure the whole point of this kind of site is to be able to meet people so I live in the Annex and am usually found dancing it up somewhere on the weekend.
I don’t have any friends on here so add me up. I’m all about meeting new people. -
