[incob123]

that's brutal, hopefully the damage isn't too extensive.

but good thing no one was hurt.

[newaesthetic]

oh shit, that's awful. glad to hear nobody was hurt.

[playdisonlyatnight]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeet

[bonejelly]

really hoping everythings ok at the shop. walked by today and there was definitely some damage.

[goat]

Australian Boot Co also?

mannnn

there was also that fire a couple of years back (or was that last year??) not tooooo far from there (queen / bathurst)

shitty deal - and sucks for that DJ too

[superbeveridge]

there is going to be fundraiser on friday for the people that are affected. unit bar after 10pm. donations at the door. good tunes and good booze.

[NESK]

EDIT: sydneys will not be operating at another location during repairs. sorry for the false alarm.

[lak]

Anyone know of a place (or a person) that does one-off screen printing and works with water-based inks?

[Guest junior8k]

Sup Toronto.

Been lurking this threak for ages. Sad to hear about Sydney's. Maybe they'll move somewhere else?

A surprisingly good micro-brew (micro-micro-brew) is that 3 brewers at Dundas Square. No IPAs or anything, but they have blondes etc.

[bernieee]

mad suprised when the manager at nomad told me they had petite standards in black in my size i just had to cop.! and common project tournaments low whites are on sale right now if i remeber correctly he told me 30% off.

edit: anyone catch haider ackermanns fall 2010 show at the ROM?

i spent an inordinate amount of time at 3 brewers this winter getting absolutely wasted in the darkest corner of the downstairs bar

great times

[jack napier]

think i had the red(?) and a sip of the blonde

were pretty good. what's the other 1?

[Guest junior8k]

There's a blonde, a red, a dark one (like a tankhouse), and a really light one.

More importantly, FREE PEANUTS.

Also, they make these pizzas that aren't called pizzas that are really good.

[Hocus Pocus]

Guess whose back?

Sup fellas. Come join me here tonight. There will very likely be girls (!) in attendance.

[newaesthetic]

if i were in town...

[jeansnkicks]

anyone selling a bike or know of anyone who is?

[skiniks]

Buddies work got an extra skid of Rickards cans and he somehow got to keep a ton of it. This summer is gonna rule.

[showbiz00ditc]

Tell me about it, anyone familiar with Flying Monkeys Brewery? (formerly Robert Simpson, brewed in Barrie)

My best friend's dad is one of the owners.

Beer hookups > most other hookups

BTW if anyone works at a bar, inquire about getting it on tap (I drink for free, gotta do some promotion)

[Guest junior8k]

There's a cool bar on yonge between college and dundas which has hella indie beer.

Not sure what it's called, something indie. got a wood patio outside. Near brass rail.

They have flying monkeys, no?

[gramps]

Bar Volo. 10char.

[gramps]

The Victory has Flying Monkey too, I think.

[Guest junior8k]

Sin and Redemption has a pretty sweet selection of beers too.

[Cheweh]

mighty fine thunderstorm we're having right now.

[Guest junior8k]

Is there a section of this thread to hate on Canada Post?

If not, here's what's going on with a package sent International Next Day Express from UK.

2010/06/04 09:36 TORONTO Canada Post processing error; item re-routed. Possible delay

2010/06/04 01:05 MISSISSAUGA Item processed at postal facility

2010/06/02 08:37 TORONTO Canada Post processing error; item re-routed. Possible delay

2010/06/01 18:01 MISSISSAUGA Item processed at postal facility

2010/05/25 18:57 MISSISSAUGA International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

2010/05/22 International item has left the origin country and is en route to Canada

In sum, next day shipping from UK arrives three days late, then five days in customs, two days in Mississauga, two days in toronto, still no news of where the hell it is or how long it'll take. So far, 14 days.

Canada Post is awful. They consistently deliver my shit to the wrong houses and thank god my neighbours aren't assholes. One time they lost a $200 textbook and when I called them about it, they just said I had to get the store I bought it from to send another.

[lintmunro]

Any point in checking out the Jonathan+Olivia spring sale?

[Guest junior8k]

About 40-60% off retail on some stuff you can find in marketplace.

Usually huge lineups and small selection.

Got a pair of CoN shoes last year for $100 and a BoO shirt for 140.

Not much else there. Maybe some cheap mondays for $25 and YMC coats.

[lintmunro]

Yeah, I'll hold off. Usually their sales run out of good stuff after the first day.

[bernieee]

anyone know where i can go to, to try retrosuperfuture's? i remmeber seeing a shop on queen st - the name escapes me and but they only had a couple styles iirc. thanks torontonians.
