Sat September 12 at 6:00 PM, Vegetarian Haven
17 Baldwin Street, Toronto, ON M5T 1L1, Canada (Map & Directions)
Hi TO MeFites! I was in town last September for VegFest but didn't get to meet up with anyone. Shepherd and I are going to make a weekend of it in the city for this year's festival. Does anyone want to meet up for food? (I'm not drinking right now but don't mind accompanying people who do.)
UPDATE: I chose Vegetarian Haven because it looked interesting and is close to where the VegFest is. Does 6 pm work for everyone?

I have a hard time planning that far in advance but would love to make it in! I will keep it on the radar.

Yeah, it is a bit far ahead but I think the last time I tried to plan a meet-up around this last year, I gave everyone very short notice. One day I'll get the notification balance right!

Nah not you at all, I just don't want to commit and then find out I've gotta work all weekend or something. I'll know by mid-august.

I'm up for it as well! but since it's the weekend after school starts I can't commit for sure this far in advance =) It sounds awesome, though.

Great idea. Definitely interested.

Unlike last year, I'm not getting married that day, so I might actually be able to make this one! Put me down as definitely interested.

Food! That's where I'm a Viking!

Definitely tentatively interested.

Oh, I'll make myself a yes. Any of those days looks good.

I'm unfortunately booked that weekend with OneWalk and a family visit. Enjoy the festival!

Should be okay with me, depending on the day.

Would Saturday evening be okay? We're staying in Little Portugal (though Shepherd, a former Torontonian, disputes that the area we are in is in fact in Little Portugal). As for food, any place that is vegan/vegetarian-friendly is fine by us!

Ah, looks like my good friend's yearly cottage weekend is the same date. Looks like I'm gonna have to bail, sorry!

I haven't been to a MeFi meetup in ages *and* I need to eat more vegetables!

If anyone has a better suggestion for food, I am all ears!

A quick ping for those who love Recent Activity. Looks like we're still on, still for the 12th at 6pm at Vegetarian Haven.

We're still in!

It's a long drive for me so I kinda want to make the most of it - is anyone going to be around during the afternoon? I wouldn't mind getting to Toronto early and checking out the festival before we all meet for dinner =)
posted by flex at 2:34 AM on September 12, 2015


Flex, the festival starts at noon and we plan on being there for most of the afternoon. I'll PM you my cell for texting if you want to go to the festival!

Ugh, my post-viral cough is giving me fits today so I'm sadly out. Sorry. Blech.
posted by zix at 12:02 PM on September 12, 2015


We're early! Found parking right across the street and Shepherd, Kitteh & I are browsing the record store =)

I'm running a bit late but join you soon.

Hail seitan!

Thank you for coming out, everyone! Shepherd and I had a great time, despite the fact I think I ate more in that 12 hour span than I have in my life time. I hope the rest of you had a lovely time with buckets of beer! :)

I'll probably ask for another meet-up in late January 2016 as I will be attending the OLA super-conference from the 27th to the 30th. (I think it might be at the MTCC. I'd have to check.)

Thanks for setting this up - was great to meet you guys!

For those of you tuned in to that part of the conversation, it was this episode of the Muppet Show that gave me screaming nightmares as a child.
