Torontonian Goodjers?
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 - 8:26am
So, as you guys may remember I previously posted about my (then) upcoming move to Toronto. Well, we are here! So far we're totally digging the city and both my wife and my new careers are rewarding and even fun every once in a while.
However, we just don't know that many people yet. So, I ask, are there any GWJers around these parts? I know there's a huge contingent from Ottowa (wherever that is....) but how about our beloved city of....whatever Toronto is the city of? If there actually is a group of us here, we should try to get a S&T put together.

I love the site but I hope you all are struck by lightning.
My girlfriend is about an hour away from TO in Waterloo, and she has some friends that live right downtown (corner of King and John right by the Princess). Sadly other than that I do not know anyone in TO.
Make a trip to Ottawa next spring/summer though, I'll buy you two a beer at my local watering hole

There are a few that live in Toronto, ya. I live just down the 401 in Kingston, so can make the trip down easily enough.
You're on. I'm sure we'll be up there at some point.

I'm right in Downtown Toronto - where are you living?
We live up on Huron and Harbord, right next to U of T.

DS and I are in Rochester, which used to only be an hour or so away, via the Fast Ferry. Stupid Fast Ferry and corrupt politicians and Torontonians having a better city than us. Bah on you all.

<-- little further down the 401. I'm not actually in London proper, but hey what's 10 or 20 clicks here or there.

I'm currently in Burlington, but spend many of my weekends in TO. At least I did until my best friend moved out of the city.
Anyways, I'm sure things can be arranged. Where by things I naturally mean times and places. You can contact me if you wish to work out any details.

I'm in Barrie (hour north of T.O) and I know a couple of people on the site that live there.
I'm up for some kind of get together.
The voices say hello.
I'm pretty new to the forums but I do live in Toronto (Liberty Village) and I'm always up for getting together with interesting people.

Well, I guess that excludes me.
I know Halloween is coming up, and that probably means lots of parties this weekend, so what would people think about getting together maybe next Saturday, the 3rd? I'm not trying to get anybody to commit, just want to see if anyone's interested.

Excellent idea, no work required for me!

Maybe the weekend after? I'm tied up on the 3rd but I can likely manage the 10th.

Hey... I was just wondering if there were any Toronto-area GWJers who were up for a meeting, so I'm happy to see that this thread has erupted. I'm right in the city, at Yonge and Eglinton, and would be up for something, too.
Torontonian?
Torontian?
Toronties?
Torontites?
Torontoes?
Toronteers?
Sorry, I've been fighting the urge to post for a while.
I am actually in Barrie today and tomorrow possibly tuesday for work if anyone wanted to meet. I am in a hotel room bored out of my skull atm.

so close!
Sorry Rainsmercy I missed the above post or I would have seen if we could meet up. Perhaps if we get this Toronto thing organized you can meet us there?
The voices say hello.
C'mon, Torontonians (aka elitist bastards, apparently) -- let's not lose the momentum. What about a meetup at Smokeless Joe's or some other decent pub? Why not even this weekend?
Alright, sorry about dropping this thread (like it was hot, no less.) School has been hectic for me this week.
I'd potentially be up for something this weekend. Saturday is the best for me, though honestly it's not great. How does NEXT weekend work for people?
Seriously, if this weekend is what works for people, I'm totally behind it, even if I can only put in an appearance.
EDIT: Not like I'm some kind of f***ing celebrity or something. =)

I suppose I could swing it in on either of the weekends, although the coming one has a higher chance of turning into a cancellation due to family matters.

Well, this is going to be tricky, I can tell. Next weekend's not ideal for me -- it's my birthday, and I'm not sure my wife and family would be thrilled with me if I chose to spend some of it with strangers, no matter how cool, to discuss video games.
Haha, holy sh*t that's crazy- I'm currently in Waterloo (for studies) and from Ottawa! Am I... Am I your girlfriend?!

Won't be able to do this weekend. But I could do something next.
It's fun and chaotic to organize random people.
