||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The cn tower is tall. Niagra falls is big. That's all I got right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA :) ohh, when are you coming to europe shope? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been to europe! (1998) i would like to go back.. actually to the alps, so you'd have to meet up for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah definitely..that's why im asking..coz im not coming to america :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, hmm... maybe you could come to quebec.. that's like, a pretty good compromise, right? plus, then we could maybe track down and stalk the elusive (no relation) fleetmouse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey, where are you from normally? (like which state) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sure..i've heard canada is real weird as well..although the fleetmouse factor seems inviting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

i fell in love with with a few girls at algonquin national park in canada. then i quickly flipped my canoe and sank it 3 feet away from the dock, and right in front of them and i paddled off in shame... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA, i reckon you get kinda excited when you fall in love? you start panicking and all.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. that experience was a pretty concise summary of my exploits in the area of love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well until a Torontonian gives you an actual answer, i'm just gonna suggest walking up and down Queen Street and such... some nice record stores, and other such delights to be found there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(you may be asking yourself "how the heck did epohs paddle away a sunken canoe?", well the attendant dudes helped me pull the canoe out of the lake, and i stood around all soaked while they showed me how to put on a life jacket. then i paddled away.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA, did that actually happen? got pics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

for the next few days. The Blue Jays are playing the Cardinals tonight. Again - not sure if you care to see some baseball. RJD2 is playing here on the 22nd of June - don't know if you care... On Wednesdays Crazy Strings plays at the Silver Dollar Room (Spadina just above College) which is always fun. Excellent Bluegrass music. Food suggestion. Gandhi Cuisine on Queen St west of Spadina - east of Bathurst - $8 Chicken Medium Roti (if you like it spicy - mild if you don't). That's all I got. I just moved here about 5 months ago... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, right, i think i saw some of those pics before :) i was hoping for the ones of you showing off infront of the girls! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, unfortunately i didn't document that section of the trip. we met, i bought a hatchet from her, i flipped a canoe, and then it was over. i'll charish that moment always. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd expect for some canadian canoe rent agency would contact you by now saying some girl is looking for you..you must be hard to find or sumthin. |
||||||||

She charged you for hatchet wound? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i didn't really understand what you wrote broken phillip, but yeah we were drunken idiots, that's very true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes "drunk". from dictionary.com - - > [ To muddle; confuse: “My brain is a bit addled by whiskey” (Eugene O'Neill). ] it rhymes with paddled. anyway. looks like you had a fun trip. on topic. "all your jet-fuel are belong to me!!" coffee shop on parliment st. called jet fuel, makes some great coffee. |

hey phillip. i know this girl who works at system (through another messageboard) and she just said she can put you on the guestlist (if you're not on it, you might have to pay big bucks. if you are, you will probably get in for free) get on msn messenger and i will give you her number if you want to go. jeroennn AT hotmail.com |

Toronto is my home, but you have left and i dance alone in the streets that are melting from the heat. yes, that's right, the tar in the asphalt is actually sticking to people's feet! we're in a heatwave, heateave, heatwave. that is all from this young knave... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
J198. thanks alot mate. thou i dont think ill be able to take that offer up heading off "to a beautiful place in the country". : ) thou ill be sure to check that place out if i get a chance. skodt. this heatwave-weathave is great. its all cold and doomy back home at the moment. so yeah, soaking up all the heat and hot tar i can while im here. ahhh.. ouch. water-proof feet. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I often take bike rides around it when I'm bored |
||||||||
|
|

|

i prefer small towns in the middle of nowhere in ontario to toronto. that's not a slight against the city, since it can be pretty nice, but just the way it's always been for me. and i'll have to go there a lot in the next three years. blah. perhaps i'll adapt. |

beaver tails.. has anyone ever tried one? i remember they had a little stand that sold them in ottawa.. that was years ago.. very tasty.. they are like donut batter with various flavourings. poured into a deep frier and they kinda spread out and make a shape like a beaver tail. killaloo (think thats how you spell it) sunrise was a fave. it is the original recipe i think.. rolled in cinamon and with some lemon juice poured over the top.. yum yum. |

all you pussies that can't handle toronto.. you suck :) broken phillip: it depends on what you want to do, how old are you (if you are 19 and over) - so that you can get into bars/clubs, and how much money you are willing to spend. i haven't been going out for a long time cuz of a combination of work and laziness so i can give an idea of a few places to check out while you're in town: - there's a lounge on 49 Front St. E. called down one lounge - there's nasa dance pub on 609 Queen St. W but their website seems to be completely gone so im not sure if they are still open - but you can check it out - if you like thai food, check out 'thai chili' on the queen st. w strip - you can get a large plate of pad thai for under $7 - if you like sushi, check out 'crispy roll' on the same side of queen st. w that 'thai chili' is on.. - there's two small records stores that might be of interest to you if you're into indie/idm/hard to find stuff: penguin music rotate this - if you walk south to the lakeshore, and it's nighttime (after 7), you can enjoy the harbourfront food and shows. they change nightly, but you can find out more information at although i should note that this site is only for events at harbourfront centre, there's a lot more that happens daily on the green im not sure when, but either this weekend or next weekend or something, it's going to be the (get ready for it) toronto electronic music festival *rolls eyes* it's pretty shit i think, unless you're into hip hop and popular techno/house - it'll be listed somewhere on that site |
||||||||

- if you go to harbourfront and walk a little east, you can grab a boat ride to the toronto islands - there's a zoo on centre island, and they have the zonkys - those donkey and zebra hybrids :) but im warning you, stuff that you buy on the island is usually overpriced. - a good bookstore for small press and eclectic reads is pages bookstore: i buy all my charles bukowski books from there :) - if you head north a bit on spadina, you can hit up chinatown and kensington market (which is like hippie town), i'll give you the address of a coffee shop in kensington and then you can figure your way around from there: http://www.moonbeancoffee.com/scripts/default.asp they sell good organic teas and coffees if you go there in the afternoons on weekends especially, then you will likely see some crazy drunk guy strumming on his blues guitar or a bunch of pseudo squeegee kids, hippie couples, kids, dogs, cats, weird eastern euro old people, hot people, etc ok i hope that's good enough for now :) if you want more places, i'll me know on this thread.. i gotta get back to work.. |
