I am passing up on some sort underground rave for this shit.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1301 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 04:27 »

Raves suck.

tania · « **Reply #1302 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 05:11 »

i don't actually own any nice clothing except the sort of stuff i wear to funerals and job interviews so i'm going to have to pass on the whole high-brow thing. i live in t-shirts and jeans. also because it's summertime and really nice outside and come on i'm not dressing up, why would i do that.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1303 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 05:24 »

Really nice outside? Does Guelph have a separate weather system?

GHIGHATRON · « **Reply #1304 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 05:26 »

TRONOCON?

WHY GHIGHATRON NOT KNOW ABOUT TRON CONVENTION?

GHIGHATRON ALWAYS LOOK FOR TRONVENTION, BUT ONLY FIND ORGANO SCI FI CONVENTION.

tania · « **Reply #1305 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 05:48 »

well... really nice outside when it isn't raining or thundering or unbearably humid. there are occasional moments!

Oh god please no, Yelley, not crocs.

Lines · « **Reply #1309 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 09:18 »

I was planning on bringing a pair or two of flip flops and a pair of chucks. I wore heels for graduation and discovered that was a bad bad idea, so I'm going back to my "I don't wear heels unless I'm going somewhere super formal." But I plan on bringing a skirt and maybe a dress, but the skirt is pretty casual and the dress can go either way.

Yelley, I would jump on the no crocs bandwagon, but comfort is more important. As long as no one wears Uggs, we'll be okay.

Also, Liz, should we bring one hair dryer between the two of us or each bring our own?

Also, I do not have a rucksack and I can't squeeze everything into my backpack, so I am bringing a suitcase. But it has fit overhead before, so I know it's not that bit.

Liz · « **Reply #1310 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 09:27 »

Linds, I do not own a hair dryer. If I use one I pretty much end up with an afro, so you should just bring yours.

As of right now I have two pairs of heels, two pairs of flats, and a pair of flip-flops in my suitcase to bring with. I need to add a third pair of heels but those are the ones I am going to give to Katie so they don't really count.

ALSO- The weather forecast for this weekend keeps getting worse. Now there is a chance of rain/storms the whole time we are there. We might need to consider some alternative activities for the whole weekend.

Lines · « **Reply #1311 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 10:33 »

That is good to know, then.

tania · « **Reply #1312 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 11:00 »

i'm assuming toronto's weather is really similar to guelph's right now, which is bright and sunny 80% of the time and terrifyingly stormy the remaining 20% of the time. we probably don't have to cancel any plans yet but alternate activities would be a good idea. at the very least, umbrellas.

Edith · « **Reply #1313 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 12:22 »

Yarn crawl still works, barbeque at mike's still works if we cook inside instead of grilling, drinking still works. Maybe we should skip the bikes; it's starting to seem like a not very good idea.

If we can't go to the islands or the zoo, we can probably find something to do. Supposedly there are tunnels under the city.

ATTENTION: THURSDAY NIGHT CREW IN TORONTO
I JUST REALIZED SARAH HARMER IS PLAYING.
"Join artists Sarah Harmer, Serena Ryder, Hawksley Workman, Great Lake Swimmers, Danny Michel and special guests to help raise awareness and funds for the Blue Marble Music Fund."
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BLUE MARBLE MUSIC FUND IS BUT AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T FASCISTS I WOULD CONSIDER SUPPORTING THEM BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD SHOW.
TICKETS ARE $30 THOUGH.
WHO WANT'S IN?

Lines · « **Reply #1315 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 12:52 »

I don't think I'll have the money for it. (I'm working with a super tight budget right now.)

Edith · « **Reply #1316 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 12:54 »

I have never heard of any of those people, so spending $30/person seems like a lot.

Maybe we could all go to a matinee movie one day if it rains! Is anything good playing?

0bsessions · « **Reply #1317 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 13:11 »

I would like it noted that all of my suggestions can be done indoors with minimal modification.

I still want to see The Strangers, Prince Caspian, Mister Lonely, The Visitor, and possibly others.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1320 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 13:52 »

If you people seriously spend two hours of your time on vacation in another country watching a wide release motion picture, I will fucking cry.

Seriously. Prince Caspian won't suck any less in Kanuckistan. Just watch it when you get home.

Liz · « **Reply #1321 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 13:53 »

Hey Jon, how about you try to not be a prick most of the time? It's quite pleasant.

yelley · « **Reply #1322 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 13:55 »

no, i'm with jon on this one. i'd rather not go see a movie while i'm on vacation... i'd rather do things that i can't just do at home.

Liz · « **Reply #1323 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 13:56 »

That's not what I have a problem with, it's the way he said it. You turned down the idea politely and he was just condescending about it.

Slick · « **Reply #1324 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 16:11 »

I am fine with a matinee, but then again, my travel costs are about $30 and my lodging costs are nill. Thanks for coming to me, guys.

I will probably throw into a bag whatever t-shirts I have clean at the time and a razor or something. And maybe a cookbook. And probably my laptop. Maybe a bottle of whiskey. Perhaps a rolling pin.

Edith · « **Reply #1325 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 17:52 »

It is really good that we're going to Canada, because I am positive that James actually would get thrown into a deep dark prison basement if he tried to get through customs packing like that.

I would like to be able to communicate with the people i am rooming with, especially since I am coming in sometime on Friday by my lonesome. So would at least Linds (I already talked to Liz, her phone aint gonna work up there) pm me their number? Or visa-versa, I don't really care.

Lines · « **Reply #1328 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 18:25 »

That made me laugh. He'd get the weirdest looks at customs.

I don't mind a matinee if it's raining. The Visitors looks really good.

On it Jon!

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #1329 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 18:50 »

I've got the same problem as Cernunnos, perhaps I could pm my number to someone who's going out to breakfast friday morning so I know where you guys are gonna be when i get there.

tania · « **Reply #1330 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 19:29 »

we can still go to the zoo if it rains! it really is sunny far more often than it's rainy, and from what i recall a good portion of their exhibits are indoors anyway. and really cool.

Edith · « **Reply #1331 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 19:30 »

My grandmother used to fly internationally with a suitcase full of pots, pans, and knives. My grandfather's mother had sub-par cookware, and my grandmother cooked when they visited them, so she brought her own whenever they visited.
Just imagine a very kind old lady who can always get a deal on something when shopping and knows everyone in the neighborhood trying to explain a half dozen knives in her luggage.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1334 on:** 16 Jun 2008, 19:42 »

I broke a tire lever trying to replace a tire on my bike. It also hurt my hand fucking hardcore.

I'll go see Iron Man if it rains and I'm not working/drunk in a ditch. The latter is looking more and more appealing as this week goes on. Shit, is it only Monday? Man...

Fortunately, I believe that is how James likes his women.

Yusssss...

Jens, I cannot make any promises. James might have some sort of animal magnetism that women cannot resist.

Why do I see Bryan and Jens appearing out of nowhere if you hook up with James. I say the three should duel.

Man, a guy makes one somewhat ill-advised dirty Harry Potter joke over Skype and suddenly people think he wants to stalk her and duel potential suitors.
