Yep. I might be there somewhat early, since I’m heading in from Hamilton on public transit.
Is there a usual protocol for recognizing each other at dopefests? We don’t have to all bring a pie or something like that, do we?
I’ll see you then.
Chrisk - how nice of you to bring the pies…
Does French Toast need a reservation?
As for recognizing each other, the maniacal grins and complex vocabulary usually give it away.
Actually, people often make reservations under the name of Cecil Adams, and arrivals ask for the “Adams” party. Maybe we should use the name of Frank Donner…
And I’ll [del]bring my iPhone so we can surf the Dope[/del] bring my camera.
There’s no need for a reservation. I’ve never seen it too crowded to fit five or six.
I’ll swing by this evening and note the street address, but it’s on the west side of Dundas, south of Bloor (i.e., just walk south from the station, crossing Bloor, until you reach it).
I didn’t volunteer.
Perhaps the Addams family might be more appropriate. Can I be Uncle Fester?
The address is 2285 Dundas Street West. There’s a plaza with a donut shop and car repair place across the street (with a Loblaws and Zellers behind the plaza, across the parking lot).
Drat. Well, maybe next time- we’re unavailable at naptime. Mahna, have a couple drinks for me, willya?
I’ll be there!
I’m flying solo this weekend, thanks to The Boy’s insane boss (though since that makes him 0 for 3 on Dopefests, I may have to rename him from The Boy to Polkaroo).
LiLi, I’ll have a coffee or two in your honour.
Okay, so scratch belly dancing lessons again. And no knife throwing lessons, either. (Oh Mahna, are we allowed to use The Boy’s former nick? I have some hazy memory of you saying something about his preferences in that regard.)
And, I’m pretty sure that French Toast isn’t licensed for booze, so it’ll have to be a sober-ish brunch. Which those of you who were at the last one I attended will appreciate, no doubt.
Paging Kythereia! And any other Toronto-ish Dopers!
Have fun all! One of these days I’ll make it back up to that neck of the woods!
See you all tomorrow! I can hardly wait.
:: returns to thread to check address of restaurant ::
I have my high-energy 7 year old today, so I’m going to give it a miss. Sorry guys. Have fun
So sorry people couldn’t attend. It was a lively meal full of laughter and “soythies”. Well, one soythie. And… I have photographic proof!
Oh my. Please note… I am NOT pregnant, despite how it may appear in the photo. It’s a bad angle, honest.
:smack:
I missed this thread as I haven’t been on the Dope too much recently. However, I had to work yesterday and would not have been able to come anyway…
The hell? Since when are Dopefests organized that quickly! I hadn’t logged in for, like, a day or two, next I know the Dopefest has passed? Damn!
