[Guest]

I found a store yesterday that sells Jeremy Scott, c-neeon, Aprill 77 and some others, Cassette Playa too I think ... got really excited, only had a few minutes to check it out though.

Forget what the fuck it's called, on Queen on the north side near Sydney's somewhere in between Manning and Trinity-Bellwoods.

[broneck]

i actually saw that ti-cats fan downtown today. he is a real person and i saw him in jackson square. true story.

that shop, its got that gnarly neon 80s eagle in the shop right?

oh yeah, i'm selling a band of outsiders button up, worn like...twice? brand new it was 225 with tax, looking for less than that, if anyone's interested let me know.

that store looks baller though.. imma call them up and ask what they got, hopefully i don't have to get jscott from sevenNY

[sidneylo]

Is the train system easy to use? I've never had the opportunity to be in Toronto on my own…I have mostly been there for family functions, etc.

I'd figure if it's still functioning in the later evening I'd like to go around, get some food, drink, and just get my mind off of completing wiping myself off the face of New York.

[newaesthetic]

I don't have much basis for my ease-of-use opinion, since the only other transit system I use regularly is Hamilton's. It's pretty straight-forward; $2.75 a ride, transfers will work going from one mode of transport to the next, except if you want to do a return ride, which is pretty crap imo.

From what I remember, the shit part is that the subway stops running before last call. I hope I'm wrong on that, though.

[cinderella]

if you can use the NYC metro, you can use the toronto subway guaranteed. We have what, 4 lines? Depending on how often you'll be using buses/subway each day I'd say to buy a weekly pass and then you wont need to worry about transfers.

[cinderella]

and the subway does stop before last call, there are 24 hour buses though so you can get partly home on those. I just cab though.

[sidneylo]

So, last call…11pm? Is this like Boston or San Francisco where everyone's asleep by 8:30?

I can just walk. You know. To Montreal.

[sidneylo]

Damn looney is too strong.

edit: I just pulled a mellowbonsai.

[NESK]

sid where are you staying? which night are you thinking youll be out late?

is there going to be a sunday shitshow?

[sidneylo]

No Sunday shit show probably too exhausted and shit though I'll should be in full work mode by Monday considering how much Montreal is cutting into my TO time.

(I'm staying in North York. Where, I don't know. With some azn family members. In the basement. Probably no wi-fi. Will smell like mothballs.)

Oh, you don't wanna get drunk anymore on Sunday? Or meeting or whatever. Will I really have to wait 'til you're in Montreal to see you? Will you really break my heart like this?

[NESK]

ya i dont think ill get to see ya if you dont come out sunday.

i might could jack a freinds whip and mosey on down to north york, though. you know what area your family lives in?

I have an empty apartment for a lot of the time (2 extra bedrooms). Last call is 2am. Last train is around 1:30am. Subway system is very simple. Two mainlines, and a couple extended lines for the suburbs. If you can navigate NYC, or Singapore or whatever, then Toronto is simple.

2am is good enough for me. It's just like San Francisco. You start drinking earlier to compensate for the lack of routes home when it gets late…

[sean_]

it really just depends how north in north york you are. its easy to catch a bus if you are going anywhere close to yonge street, south of about steeles. other than that its not so easy.

[yuljo]

I live near York University/North York and it can run 35-45$ a cab ride home from anywhere south of Bloor. Last subway from downtown is around 1:30-1:40 and gets into Downsview at around 2.

[Guest ManOfSteel555]

just hop the 24 hour yonge bus to north york after last call, then grab a short cab to where you need to go. i refuse to let the TTC cut a good night short.

[gfunkdocta]

i'll go shopping wit u, maude.

call me sat afternoon.

sidney, what intersection ur aunt live at?

i can prolly drop u off home. i lives in the burbs near north york.

[NESK]

[gfunkdocta]

ya mon. around 4:30-5pm cool?

[projectdenim]

I might get off early. Hopefully 8-8:30. Random wandering again or is there a plan?
