Oh hey, forgot to mention:

Aside from the AGO and the ROM, the other place you guys might want to check out is here:

I'm not sure if you're smokers or not, but if you're cool with it then you really should check this place out, as it's pretty unique and some pretty cool people are there. It's also in Kensington market, which is at least interesting to walk through.

I'm not a smoker, but it's awesome just to see that place. Also, excellent smoothies last time I checked. And Kensington is an awesome place for cheap hippie clothes and used ANYTHING stores. I can't remember what it's called, but there's an awesome CD store where everything is $10.

Also, last night was very good times. I'm about to upload the pictures now so they'll be a while. You are all awesome people and we need to do this more often.

We used to have this ford station wagon that we'd fold the back seats down in and lay down and sleep in the back during long car rides. good times.

If you guys haven't gone yet, visit Eaton Center and the Yonge/Dundas square. Lots of neat shops and entirely bizarre street performers

Metzger Meister

Also, if you've never been to Mount Rushmore, go. You can also go to Deadwood! And... uh... leave South Dakota shortly thereafter unless you are interested in geology.


edit: And why not go there in July? Then, the last week in july, CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS! THE DADDY OF 'EM ALL, WORLD'S LARGEST OUTDOOR RODEO! LOCAL CRAFTS, WESTERN ART! THE THRILL OF THE RODEO AND TODAY'S MODERN COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTARS! THIS YEAR KING GEORGE, GEORGE STRAIT TAKES THE STAGE! CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS!

Oh man Eaton square sounds fun.

You Canadian heathens have some good fucking donuts, I'm gonna steal the recipe.

Okay, so I can't do super awesome edits for these pictures while I'm here, so that'll have to wait until this weekend, or the start of next week when I'm back home. Until then, where should I be posting these pictures? Just a bunch right here?

2 Marcus 2 Ravens

Okay fuck it, here's a few of my favourites.

Spoiler:

Dichotomy

That is like asking to be arrested

No, it's really not. The cops know about the place. Everybody knows about the place. They've got some strict rules in places about no buying/selling, and everybody just chills.

Fandyien

Do they just sit around and get high in a public place?

Because that is the definition of asking to get arrested

2 Marcus 2 Ravens

It's an indoor cafe split into two sections. The front part is a pretty regular place, all things considered, and then there is a big back room where you can smoke, just as long as you bring your own stuff. I'm pretty sure they don't allow anything but pot, too.

It's been around for a long, long time, and like I said, everybody knows about it. I guess they decided it'd just be best to leave it alone.

OmegaTofuNinja

Those pictures were amazing.

I promise I'll edit them like I said I would, but I have no photoshops to work with here.

OmegaTofuNinja

Goddamn that was just a fun night in general

OmegaTofuNinja

Marcus you are a cool guy

2 Marcus 2 Ravens

Tofu, you are a cool and kind of goofy guy.

Are we like, about to have sex or something? Because that's what this feels like.

Edit: And the general level of attractiveness was not disappointing.

Redeemer

That looked like fun, sorry I couldn't be there

I'm glad Rolo is growing out his fro

Langly

I am in pittsburgh! Keith what should I do? It isn't philly but it is still pa

Dread Pirate Arbuthnot

Oh god delete those pictures how will I convince the internets I am a sassy hot little waif

GameGrrl

you guys look like you had fun

Vann Diras

oh sure they get pictures

but I'm guessing they had a camera

plus that is a far larger and more interesting group than me awkwardly plucking at spaghetti I can't finish

hm

Redeemer

Would've been far more ethnic with me at the table

Between me and Rolo and Killjoy it'd be like a UN meeting

OmegaTofuNinja

Vann when are you coming to the Space Booze Palace?

Everyone is invited to the Space Booze Palace by the way

2 Marcus 2 Ravens

So... I got bored. But I figure since I took the pictures, I should be allowed to mangle them.

I am positively waif-like.

Artreus spent twenty minutes working on finishing his Guiness. Got about halfway done and Rolo just disappears without saying a word.

He comes back with his own pint and finishes half of it in two gulps. Artreus suddenly became motivated to finish the fuck out of his Guiness before Rolo did. It was an amazing sight to see.
