I know we have a spreadsheet for all of the official events, but I've noticed quite a few people adding events that aren't on the list and I'm starting to have a hard time keeping track of everything so I decided to open this thread as a way for people to post their un-official events that they might be hosting last minute.
For instance, tomorrow I will be finishing my work shift at the brand new Second Cup at 544 Church, just south of Wellsley, at 1 and will be writing there for a few more hours. I would love it if anyone would care to join me for a coffee and hopefully a couple thousand words. Good company is always appreciated.
Event: Impromptu write in Date: November 1 When: 1-4pm Where: Second Cup Church Street 544 Church Street, just south of Wellsley (2 minute walk from Wellsley station)
I was thinking something like this format just to make things easier to keep track of. (I'm not expecting a huge turn out tomorrow obviously but feel free to stop by!), but it would be nice to have a way to keep track of all of these unofficial events.
If I wasn't working until 4, I would show up for that...it's literally around the corner from where I live.
Anyway, there's a thread for my event, but I'll post it here, too. Good idea, mantaraider!
Event: Subway write in Date: November 5 When: 10am - noon Where: Start at north end of Finch subway station platform and ride the rails until we can't ride them no more. I don't know the address of Finch, but it is the northern-most subway stop on the Yonge line.

I have plans after 7 so can't make it out to Runnymede, but was going to steal a couple hours after work to write in the mall if anyone wants to join me.
Event: Sunday pm writting session Date: Nov 6 Time: 6-9 pm Where: Starbucks at 1088 Yonge Street, it's the one just north of Rosedale subway station on the west side of the street.
There seems to be a lack of meet-ups in the East York area, so a few of us are putting together a weekly get-together on the Danforth. The location will depend on how many of y'all are interested, so please nanomail me your "RSVP" and let me know what times you would work best for you and we'll try to be as inclusive as possible.
Tentative Time = every Thursdays late afternoon (maybe 6-830ish) Location Options = Re: Reading if five or less people (unless y'all don't mind sitting on the floor) = Pape library if six or more people (if over 12 we'd be in 2 different areas unless you like the floor)
Both places have a couple electrical sockets available for those who need outlets for their laptops.
I could do Thursday evenings, maybe around 7 pm (I have to go home after work and take care of my hound first!). Either location would be good - it's nice of Re: Reading to let us use their space!
Event: Sunday afternoon writing session When: November 6, 3:30-5:30pm Where: starbucks at Kennard and Dufferin, a couple blocks north of sheppard. To get there, take the 105 or 104 from Downsview station. On the 105, get off at Rimrock and walk north, it's on the west side of the street. On the 104, get off at Allen road and head into the plaza.
That's a brand new Starbucks. I was this close to accusing you of inventing it. It's right around the corner from my office. So no good today but perhaps in the future.
Who's up for bringing back the Tuesday night writing sessions at the Starbucks at Bathurst and Steeles?
When: 7-10, every Tuesday night. How to get there: You can come up to Thornhill by going to Finch Station and taking the #60 bus to Bathurst and Steeles. The bus lets you off right outside a plaza with a gas station and a Country Style. Cross Steeles and follow Bathurst along (going North) for about a minute until you see the glorious lights of Starbucks.
Ahahaha... oh, the ironing! A last-minute change to my work schedule means I can't be at Starbucks tomorrow. I do, however, have every intention to make the 15th, 22nd, and 29th.
I live super close to Bathurst and Steeles! Too bad you won't be there tonight. :) I might hit up the Second Cup by Wilson Station instead, unless someone else was planning to go to the Starbucks.
I;m Up for bringing back the Tusday starbucks (i tried to for the last two weeks but couldn't which sucked Damn Vacation Packing and recooperation, but i'm also for adding a few days to it...literally if i can. I'll prolly be there Tusday, but i'd like to add Thursdays and saterdays for others if i can. i'll see you all there if your up for it :)
Hey all. So, yesterday, I was going past Bathurst & Steeles and I saw all the lights were out and a bunch of police cars outside it. Don't know what was happening, but I'll go by again today to see if it was resolved. If so, and they're open for business again, I hope to see you there at 7 tonight :)
Would anyone be up for an unofficial Mississauga session either this Saturday (19th) or Sunday (20th) for those of us who aren't attending the overnighter/Are not 18 yet?
I'm thinking the same place we have the normal 'Sauga events at: Panera Bread just outside Square One, whatever time works best for others who want to tag along. I'm flexible!
(Panera Breads: 55 Square One Drive, Mississauga, ON L5B 0E2)
Hi everyone. It just so happens I've been scheduled to work on Tuesday night. Regarding the Bathurst and Steeles writing session, I won't be there. If someone else wants to host it, please do so.
i've been greatly enjoying the wednesday urbana writing sessions. there's no official one this week, but let's meet there again anyway!
i can host this, but because of my schedule this will start somewhat later than previous meetups. (if anyone wants to volunteer to act as host pre-6:30pm, let us know!)
Where: Urbana Coffee, 1033 Bay St. Toronto Map When: Wednesday, November 23 @ 6:30pm - 10pm ⇐⇐ NOTE LATER TIME TTC Directions: Go to Bay station, exit the TTC and walk south on Bay Street. It is on the corner of Bay Street & St. Joseph Street (on the left hand side). Accessible? Yes! Lost on the way? Call bunnyhero at 416-856-5996
I'm gonna have a lot of fish from class tomorrow, like 8 fried trout fillets and maybe 4 poached bass fillets. If you want some fish, let me know, I'll package some separately.
I'll be at Urbana around 4 'cause I happen to go to school near there, if anyone cares to join me that would be lovely. If not, well then I'll just write more :P

Re: Un-official events?
Oh, shoot, I can't do Thursdays! I might be able to make it once if I skip out of work VERY early! Thanks for keeping me in the loop! :)
Re: Un-official events?
I could do Thursday evenings, maybe around 7 pm (I have to go home after work and take care of my hound first!). Either location would be good - it's nice of Re: Reading to let us use their space!
Re: Un-official events?
Thrusdays are cool. :)
Re: Un-official events?
I can never really make it to evening things. Random weekday afternoons, but not evenings, alas.

Re: Un-official events?
I was about to say the same thing (as I used to live about a 5-minute walk from there)!
Re: Un-official events?
Yeah, it just opened up a couple weeks ago, I think. I work at the Wild Wing that opened up there a couple of months ago. Maybe another time!

Re: Unofficial events - POST YOURS HERE!

Re: Unofficial events - POST YOURS HERE!
That sounds like the single best class ever. Almost makes me want to be a chef JUST so I can take that class.
Re: Unofficial events - POST YOURS HERE!
you realize it's butchering animal meat, not human meat, right?
;)
