See, that's kinda hard to do when James doesn't love me.

Also there are three states and part of a province separating us at the moment.

You can bone anyone you don't love, no matter how far away they are- ask Tommy.

maybe Tommy, if Tania scares him

Quote from: tommydski on 11 Apr 2008, 07:46

Tania is actually quite terrifying

Liz · « **Reply #1003 on:** 23 May 2008, 20:44 »

Well played, miss.

Also James, if you get a day job you should take the time off to make it to breakfast with us cool kids. We also need to set up a time to bone so Ozy will stop complaining.

Right, so plans change. I'm no longer flying to Toronto. I'm taking a god-damn 17 hour bus ride. May god have mercy on my soul. And please please please let the bus have good shock absorbers. So that means I'm leaving on the 19th and will arrive sometime in the afternoon on the 20th. The other good news is that I'm saving 400 bucks. Hopefully its worth it.

Hey, $400 is a LOT. It'll be worth it in the long run.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1006 on:** 24 May 2008, 08:38 »

That's $400 more that we can swindle out of you in a drunken stupor. I approve!

Woo!

Tyler, make up your mind soon! I could possibly carpool with you.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1011 on:** 27 May 2008, 20:21 »

I might possibly theoretically fly down to help with the drive back up. Does that make any sense?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #1012 on:** 27 May 2008, 20:57 »

Man, we've talked up Tronnocon a lot. 23 pages, over 1000 replies? I'm betting that once all's said and done this thread will have been more fun than the actual event.

Y'see, I've learned something today. Everyone likes to plan for the future, and while the original plans may not turn out the way everyone expected them to go at first, its the journey, the adventure getting there that counts.

Canada? not so much. Getting hot and sweaty with Katie and Mai? Pretty rad. Unless Katie's A/C works. Then it won't be so much hot and sweaty as cabin fever, from being in the car for a long ass time all at once.

That's because I took part in this thread, but will not be taking part in Tronno.

And Matt, I hope Katie and Mai's menstrual cycles sync up for the ride and it's all they talk about.

In a car with two lovely, understanding young ladies.

was that really necessary? jeezy creezy.

Something Witty · « **Reply #1024 on:** 30 May 2008, 09:34 »

Actually, chances are they'll both be asleep most of the time I'm driving.

tania · « **Reply #1025 on:** 30 May 2008, 10:12 »

actually just about everything along the lines of "hurrrr hot girls are gonna be in toronto" is kind of creepy so if that could maybe stop altogether that would be rad.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1026 on:** 30 May 2008, 10:17 »

Eh. I'll be there to make sure it all goes wrong.

So, Yelley and I have decided to go on a Yarn Store Crawl on Friday morning. The yarn stores mostly open around 10, so we'll get started around then - perhaps meet at In The Loop for coffee/breakfast?

Then we'll go hit Knit-o-matic, Lettuce Knit, The Purple Purl and Romni Wools.

We can knit together at Mike's place on Saturday if anyone wants to, but be warned - if you leave your yarn unattended for even a second, his cat will very sneakily find it, take it, kill it, and eat it. I recommend a ziplock bag or something that closes completely with a zipper. She has actually learned to open the zippers on my backpack to get at my yarn, but it takes her a while, so a zipper should be fairly safe.

Lines · « **Reply #1029 on:** 30 May 2008, 12:40 »

Yarn store? Oh, I am so going with you guys. I will get up for that.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1030 on:** 30 May 2008, 12:58 »

Didn't she also learn how to get through velcro? Maybe you should just stash the yarn under Jerry. She'd never get to it then.

yelley · « **Reply #1031 on:** 30 May 2008, 13:25 »

eeeeeeeeeeeyarn ^_^

also, shit i forgot mike has a cat.

tommydski · « **Reply #1032 on:** 30 May 2008, 13:27 »

Two cats, bless 'em.

yelley · « **Reply #1033 on:** 30 May 2008, 13:38 »

wheeeeeeee tronnocon might mean the death of me, then!

Edith · « **Reply #1034 on:** 30 May 2008, 13:39 »

You'll have health insurance and a travel card by then, right?

yelley · « **Reply #1035 on:** 30 May 2008, 13:42 »

nope ^_^ not eligible for new health insurance until 90 days after june 2nd.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1038 on:** 30 May 2008, 14:18 »

Man, the phrase 'Yarn Store Crawl' coupled with what at a glance looked like Mike's avatar created so much cognitive dissonance that for a moment I thought my head would implode.

Liz · « **Reply #1039 on:** 30 May 2008, 14:49 »

I don't even knit or anything and I may just join you. If we're done with breakfast by then.

tommydski · « **Reply #1040 on:** 30 May 2008, 14:52 »

Brunch.

I would like to say for the record that Tania promised to knit me a uterus doll like, 2 years ago and has still not delivered on that.

tania · « **Reply #1046 on:** 30 May 2008, 16:20 »

bryan i was really serious about that! but then i was too dumb to figure out how to knit in a circle.
once yelley and edith pass on to me their mad knitting skills i promise i'll get that to you asap.

Here comes the latest annual North by Northeast, Toronto's answer to that one thing with the similar name. This year's NXNE goes down June 12-15 at a plethora of Toronto locales, and much like its southerly counterpart, bands, filmmakers, journalists, industry types, and fans will pour into the Big Smoke to rub elbows and pump fists in equal measure.

So who's making the trek to Toronto this year? Well, far more names than a reasonably-sized paragraph can contain, so here are the highlights: My Morning Jacket, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists,

TED LEO'S IN TOWN THE WEEK BEFORE? *cries*
