Now it turns out that my mom has cancelled christmas for my family (due to surgery, not scroogeness) so now all my christmas plans are up in the air. I knew as soon as I made plans to come home, this would happen. Memorial University also has the most fucked up spring break in the academic world Feb 20-23 (monday to wednesday, wtf?) so now I don't know what to do

Wow. I've been so busy I haven't even thought about reporting on Saturday's brunch! I was really great to meet Simon (cannot recall his TFP username at the moment), and Siege. Cellophane I (and we all) know pretty well by now.

I did a lot (too much?) of the talking, asking them all about what they do in school (Simon - English at York, Siege - Psycho-Linguistics at U of T). I've got about five years on everyone who was at the table, so for me it was like being back in the "salad days" if you will, remembering what it was like to be in school, especially in November, when times were busy and deadlines loomed large.

The food, as always, was great, but as I've come to expect with Pho Hung, the service leaves a little to be desired. After about 30 mins. of waiting (Cellophane and Simon already about 15 mins. into their meals), I finally got up to ask about mine and Siege's food. I'm still not convinced it would have come if I hadn't asked for it. And it wasn't exactly rocket science to throw a bunch of raw beef into a bowl of broth and noodles.

Unfortunately none of us had the foresight to bring a camera....d'oh! Well...we'll have to make up for that. When I get some energy up I'll start pushing for a January meeting.

I know it might be a little bit of a drive for both sides ... but anybody up for a Niagra Falls meetup? ya ya it's cold as hell out, but I haven't been before and it'd be about halfway for both sides.

Niagara Falls would actually be closer for some of our members in Kitchener/Waterloo and London/St. Thomas.

It's only about an hour and half to two hours from Toronto.

Sadly all I've got are some private functions. In January I've got a show with the Klezmer band that I'll definitely be letting people know about, though. Being off the scene for 3 months didn't help my local gig schedule, but that's actually not such a bad thing since me and jazz are having a bit of a timeout these days.

Oh and by the way...I'd definitely be into a Niagra Falls trip!!! December is pretty busy though, but if I can do it I will!!

I think if there is going to be a trip to the falls it will be in January once Amonkie has had some time to settle into her new digs in Rochester.

A little to far for to drive....if its 2 hours from Toronto and Kingston is 3 hours from Toronto that makes the drive 5 hours one way, but if I do the drive I guess I could get a room

You guys thought of carpooling down to the falls? You were saying it was a long ways from you, Pain Train, but if you could get yourself to Toronto, I know there's enough of you there if someone was willing to drive and the rest of you split gas - it would definitely bring the cost down for each person ...

Depending on when this is, and depending on if I can actually go, I would LOVE (need) to carpool with people.

Well, my track record for actually making it to these things is pretty bad so far (0 for 2) but I do genuinely want to meet all of you. I'd be game for Niagra Falls, assuming I can get the time in January. And if carpooling is being suggested, I'm always happy to provide chauffeur duties. My car is a smoking car (smokers - yay!) but if someone is deathly allergic or just really, really hates cigarette smoke, that rule is flexible. (non-smokers - yay!)

I could do that maybe...but I like to drive myself...lol, found out the other day my car isn;t geared for the high way....reving 4K to get to 120 km/h (damn 3 speed trans)

I had to use the back roads to get to my storage unit!
