Guys I sorta want to go but I really don't know if I can.  As such I'm reluctant to make reservations or arrangements.  If I decide to crash the party at the last minute will I be sleeping on park benches?

[ackblom12]

Of course not. The floor would be a good possibility depending on if all the beds are taken in both the rooms, but you'd still be quite welcome.

[onewheelwizzard]

Well so much for the adventure of it all!  Way to burst my bubble!

No, really, it's very much appreciated.  I'm really not willing to make plans this far ahead because I might end up being required somewhere else at that point during the summer.  But if I'm not doing anything, some last-minute travel arrangements might be in order because this sounds super fun.

[Boro_Bandito]

If it comes down to it that you say you're going at the last minute I have an air mattress that packs down really small that I can fit in my luggage, which would be much better than the floor.

[valley_parade]

Apparently they've got this pet a penguin thing

Rachel, You don't have to give me a ride home. I'm going to go with Linds and cuddle a penguin.

[valley_parade]

Also an option.

[valley_parade]

As for things to do...

Maybe I'm the only one here, but would anyone be up for going to the Hockey Hall of Fame?

[0bsessions]

No.

[Something Witty]

Only if they have an exhibit of all the teeth ever knocked out in hockey fights.

[Storm Rider]

They actually glued them all together into a lifesize statue of Wayne Gretzky.

[Boro_Bandito]

That I'd see. I don't know, I'm going to look up tourist destinations in Toronto right now I guess.

[Johnny C]

I think they're aiming to make it animatronic come May.

[öde]

It's time for a round of...

Hockey Player or Meth Addict!



(I could not find any good images)

[Storm Rider]

Potentially excellent post wasted by poor execution. C-, try harder.

[öde]

Sig-quoted so you don't have to say it every time I post.

[Slick]

That I'd see. I don't know, I'm going to look up tourist destinations in Toronto right now I guess.

• CN Tower

(That's not a list left open for expansion, that is a complete listing, I think.)

[Boro_Bandito]

I am failing to prove you otherwise thus far.

[Something Witty]

Here's what you do, then:

Open front door of Hostel;

Look at CN tower;

Go back inside Hostel.

No more quote tunnels. This thread is serious business.

[Slick]

Mock zombie outbreak is now mandatory for all participants.

[Boro_Bandito]

Agreed.

Okay, looking for things to do in Toronto I've come up with a few options besides going to the zo and the C.N. Tower.

-Jazz festival in downtown :This one starts on the 22nd, so for those who are leaving on the day after might be able to catch some of this. I'm assuming since there's like 1500 artists playing over the course of the festival that there'll be something playing the opening night somewhere that'll catch interest.

-Shopping at St. Lawrence Market and Eaton Place, the latter which is really just a big mall. It's got 250 stores and is apparently the biggest attractionin Toronto, beside the C.N. Tower.

-Royal Ontario Museum, pretty self explanatory, art galleries and history and stuff.

-Chinatown. I'm always up for grabbing some trinkets and food in a crowded place where noone understands what I'm trying to say to them.

-apparently there's some sort of Amusement park in the Toronto Islands area, might be worth looking into.

-Distillery district. Old architecture, pedestrian only, arts and culture, restaurants, pubs.

Really I don't know what people expect to do in a period of only a couple of days. I mean, I usually like to spend plenty of time in just a few places, rather than rushing around and trying to see a bunch of stuff. Of course, I'm one of the ones just content with the fact that I can legally drink once I'm there.

[0bsessions]

Agreed.

-Drinking scotch.

-Drinking whiskey.

-Drinking rum.

-Drinking vodka.

-Drinking gin.

-Drinking tequila.

-Drinking beer.

[Something Witty]

Don't forget the poolhalls less than .5km away from the hostel:

[tania]

going up the cn tower is like $40 and totally not worth it, trust me on this.
you'll get about 90% of the thrill at no cost at all by just taking a picture and moving on.

the toronto zoo, on the other hand, is pretty fucking rad. you can ride elephants!

[Lines]

I am officially going to the zoo to ride an elephant.

As for the mock zombie outbreak, can we play Don't Stop Me Now in the background as we fight the zombies?

[Something Witty]

YES.

[Boro_Bandito]

actually, instead of the zombie outbreak, we're all going to do a fully choreographed scene from Grease. The charts are being sent to your emails for marks and positions along with music sheets and lyrics, but you'll have to learn the double pirouettes on your own. This isn't play time in kindergarten people hop to!

[tania]

my memories of my last zoo trip basically consisted of riding elephants while on mushrooms. kind of like, oh my god guys no way am i here right now riding this elephant oooohhhhh shiiitttttt
they have camels, too, but they're bumpy and not so fun to ride. they're mostly so you can get your picture taken on them i think. most of the exhibits at the zoo are really fantastic. a trip to the zoo will easily take up an entire day.

(also: please don't do drugs and get yourself and/or everyone else kicked out of the zoo, while my story may have been mildly entertaining it's also from my less intelligent days and is pretty much just a dumb thing to do.)

[Lines]

Boro - If we're doing the school dance, I will hurt you. If don't and do the zombie outbreak instead, I will not hurt you. Queen trumps Grease.

[0bsessions]

We could just come to a compromise. We could do Thriller instead of Grease, except instead of the normal choreography it ends with us hitting all the zombies with pool cues.

[ruyi]

yes we could

[Something Witty]

Boro - If we're doing the school dance, I will hurt you.

Dance? sorry, I have a put on, put out policy with my tux, and I don't think anyone I wanna put in is down for that.

[Storm Rider]

Charming as always.

[Something Witty]

For the record: I enjoy dressing up and bryan can sod off.

[valley_parade]

Don't forget the poolhalls less than .5km away from the hostel:

Didn't know you played pool, Matt. I'm up for that.

(I could not find any good images)

?

[calenlass]

Guys I am seriously up for Zombie Outbreak, the zoo, some serious karaoke, and drinking. That will be plenty to do.


I must disagree with Tania also and say that camels are hells of fun to ride.



Also we can go to that museum thinger and I will definitely not complain, too.

Also also, someone should make an executive decision about whether or not we are going to have a swanky "executive" evening wherein we drink in fancy clothes. I think this would only be a bad idea if people are planning on puking on each other.

[valley_parade]

Either way, we're still bringing nerf guns and wiffleballs.

[0bsessions]

I am all for karaoke. Shane will vouch that I do ever so love to sing when drunk.

In terms of fancy night, I dunno how far I can go on that idea. I do like to dress up, but I don't have too much in the way of fancy clothes. How fancy are we talking?

Also, Shane and I were thinking of holding a zombie wiffleball game. We just need to iron out some rules.

[valley_parade]

And dance!

[calenlass]

As fancy as you want! I mean, there are of course different degrees of Fancy. I would consider, at least, in my opinion, that the First Degree of Fancy would be wherein I wear a skirt. I think Swanky comes a few degrees up the scale, though, when you start getting into like tailored suits and stuff (I have one of these! Everyone should!). Super-Duper Suave is when you wear ascots and vests and jackets and cuff links and opera gloves and stuff, I believe.


Edit: That is some excellent dancin'.

[0bsessions]

And dance!

*Sigh*

[valley_parade]

Katie, what would cotton blazer+button up shirt+jeans get me?

[0bsessions]

First base with Switty. At best.

[calenlass]

Mang I do not know for sure. I think the jeans mean it is first or second Degree of Fancy, maybe? I am not an expert in Fancy!

[valley_parade]

I don't really own fancy pants. Just nice looking jeans.

*swinging motion* I was never much of a power hitter anyway.

[pen]

In terms of fancy, I think the men in khakis and a button shirt and ladies in cocktail dresses might be really nice.  I love cocktail dresses and strappy shoes!

[Lines]

Hmm. I actually have a tux shirt and a vest, so I may go in the swanky direction. But this may end up in me looking like a well dressed mobster, so maybe I'll wear a dress. Who knows. Maybe we should do reverse fancy and have guys in cocktail dresses and ladies in pants. Gender-Bender gone Fancy.

About wifflleball, easy, we find a small-ish zombie and use its head for the ball.

[0bsessions]

I don't know about you guys, but I'll probably be wearing my suit coat for everything in Tronno now.
Just my suit coat and a smile.
