So... the last Toronto meetup at Snakes and Lattes went over well enough with calls to repeat that I thought we might celebrate S&L's considerable expansion/renovation by returning for round II. Does Friday April 26th suit people? [more inside]

Hi all. My tenant is hosting the karaoke at the Jekyl and Hyde pub at 2340 Dundas Street West (Dundas West station) this coming Thursday night, starting at 10 p.m. I've promised him I'll show my support by showing up in my best landlady garb (complete with a worn, faded, half-buttonless housedress, scuzzy slippers, curlers, and one of my eighteen mangy cats in tow), and do my best rendition of "Live to Tell". And I'd like to have some fun people to hang out with between numbers. Does anyone want to come out for karaoke? The Jekyl and Hyde is a Firkin-like pub, the DJ's karaoke playbook is reportedly huge, and I'm told there aren't a lot of people who come to Thursday night karaoke, so you'll get the chance to sing several songs if you like. Or you can just point and laugh at those of us who do. We could also meet earlier than 10 p.m.

The recent Cards Against Humanity post on the blue got me thinking: anyone in Toronto and nearby up for a Snakes and Lattes meetup for some games (of CaH and/or others diversions)? I am going to pitch next Friday the 28th, but I am open to other suggestions for date. Who's in?

Trying a meetup at an earlier time to accommodate more people: so I'm calling this one for Sunday, November 25, at 5:30 PM until... whenever! I've decided on the Huether in uptown Waterloo: it's right on King St. so it's easy to get to, they're open late, they have plenty of room for a group, and they have a wide variety of food and drink options.

My friends' Mexican/Portuguese pop-up, Oxala, is turning 1 year old! Help us celebrate at La Revolución in the Junction (fb event). [more inside]

Hi all. Brujita is visiting our Rob Ford-plagued fair city October 22 to November 11. Would anyone like to get together to say hello to her, imbibe assorted beverages, and generally hang out? Her visit gives us a generous window of time, and as to the venue I will only say we should pick something central — I'll ask brujita where she's staying so we can narrow it down to a place convenient to her.

November 2nd at Zaphod Beeblebrox. $10. w/Birdie Whyte & Loon Choir.

Time to meet, discuss, and solve world problems. Political discussion a must, science discussion a must, knitting discussion is optional.

MeFi Toronto, I'm relatively new to your city, and I was thinking it would be cool to meet up with you this summer. What do you think?

A whopping eight months after setting foot in Toronto to examine people's financial statements and tell them how they're doin' it wrong, I went and landed myself a job in the US doing stuff that's much more up my alley. Pending approval by our friendly neighbourhood border service agents, I will be leaving Toronto for the brighter pastures of North Carolina in about eight weeks. I'd like to see my favourite Toronto-KWC-Buffalo-ans sometime before I leave. March 31st, 8 PM, Local 4. Be there. [more inside]

Starting a regular monthly meetup covering K-W, Guelph, Cambridge, etc. - this month, downtown Kitchener: Sunday, March 11, 8 PM. [more inside]

Meetup time/place/date set! I hope everyone can make it. We live in the middle of nowhere and seeing some friendly mefite faces would be lovely.

Toronto's Indie Comedy Hour is a show that you have to see at least one time. It's fun, it's low-key and it's held in a really nice venue, No One Writes To The Colonel (they have some bitchin' mojitos). The show has featured performances from Hannibal Buress (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Bob Kerr (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Hotbox), Marco Bernardi (Cream of Comedy 2010), to name but a few. Each show closes out with an open mic showcasing up-and-comers who may be featured acts in upcoming editions of the Indie Comedy Hour. FEATURED PERFORMANCES BY: - Avery Edison - Jon Kane - Blair Streeter - Diana Love [more inside]

The Real Secrets Show presents engaging comedic storytelling from some of Toronto's finest performers, offering up stories of secrets they've kept and the impact they've had on their lives. Audience members and performers alike mask their identity and sign binding non-disclosure agreements at the door to create a safe circle of sharing. The Real Secrets Show presents the cathartic power of unburdening combined with hilarity to create a truly one-of-a-kind event. [more inside]

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not interested in Scotch, really just consider this a regular MeFi pub meetup... because it pretty much is! No obligation to drink any Scotch at all. More like... bonus whisky for those into that sort of thing. [more inside]

I see the word "Guelph" pop-up here every once and awhile, so assume there are other mefites living here. If true, are any of you up for a pub night? How about Sunday, January 29 at the Woolwich Arrow ?

The magazine I edit is throwing itself a one-year birthday party in downtown Toronto. There will be cake and music and drinks. A selection of the Canadian SF who's who will be in attendance. Admission is free, though donations are always welcome. Stop on by. More details.

We haven't had a meet-up in a while. I like meet-ups. We're meeting at 8 PM on Saturday, October 15th at Ciros. Ask for Jenny if you can't find us.

I'm in Canada, and that means I need some Canadians. Following on from my (presumably) exciting time in Montreal, I'm going to be in Toronto, meeting and greeting at Nirvana (corner College and Bathurst street) at 7pm, after a couple of us have chomped some food at Gandhi's (554 Queen West) at 6.30pm on Thursday September 1.

We are overdue for a meetup. The last one, at the Ben Wicks on Parliament, was fittingly genteel. Shall we try for the Leslieville pub with a warm interior and full menu? The Roy, 842 Queen East west of Logan (72 bus by TTC), Thursday, May 5, 2011, at say 19:30 hours? No, we’re doing it at the Ceili Cottage, 1301 Queen East just east of Leslie, Thursday, May 12, 7:30 onward. (Queen streetcar. Jones 83 or Greenwood 31 buses; if you’re coming down after about 9:30, the 31B stops directly across the street at Alton and Queen.)

The Chiaroscuro Reading Series Spring Fling is tonight at The Augusta House. There are going to be readings from local genre magazines as well as other performances.
