Travel Advice/planning!
« on: September 18, 2010, 10:05:27 PM »

So I'm driving up to Toronto October 23, I know there are some Canadians in the boards. Are there any sweet restaurants or awesome things I absolutely have to see while I'm up there? Also, I'll be busy for much of the day that weekend but I'll be open to hanging out with any torontan Pyokites up for it in the evenings.

General admission $45 in advance, $55 at the door.

Better luck next time Buge.

Also, we are totally cool with hanging out. I can give quite a few resto suggestions, but before I do, I want to ask a few questions:

- What part of Toronto will you be in or near?
- Any dietary restrictions? (i.e. Vegan/Vegetarian)
- Any preferences? (i.e. "I haven't had really good ____ in forever").

And yeah buge, that could be cool but that cover is absurd

Hm. Close to Mississauga and a vast sea of brown folks. My first instinct is to try and find a good Indian joint - you okay with that plan?

Oh, Grand Prix Toronto. Magical cards.

I know I have no business near a truly competitive MTG tournament. Starr is sometimes game, but she's not much better. In any case, neither of us really want to lay out $25-$40 entrance fee just to come up with a 2 and 5 record.

We might go and trade or something.

I'm just kidding. I would be terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought at a fetish party.

Well, when I said "we might go trade or something" I mean, Starr and I, separately from anything going on with you guys. The GP is on the 23rd-24th, so that would be something for another day.

Fer chrissakes, I wouldn't drag ANYBODY to an MTG event. Even fellow MTG players.

To be fair, I would be terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought at an MTG event too, but for different reasons.

I think that's the first time I've heard of someone practicing one of my actual fetishes at a fetish party.

Why would you be terrified? In my experience they're full of nice people.


The fetish parties, not the magic tournaments.

The magic tournaments are not full of nice people and you should be terrified.
