Just wanted to remind people that the June Party is this Saturday at my place in the party room. I've sent out an email with some FAQ info, and figured I'd better repost here:
- Where is Strachan?
- Strachan is a street between Bathurst & Dufferin. My building is, in fact, quite close to the CNE, if that helps people place it.
- Why is it at your place? Didn't you used to have it at Thai Jasmine?
- I just wanted to change it up a bit. Plus, there are always issues for people with nut allergies at Thai Jasmine, or who just don't like Thai food. As much as I love the folks at Thai Jasmine/Fireside, this might just be a bit safer.
- Will I know anyone there?
- Of course - you'll know me! And that means you're one step removed from everyone in the room.
But if you're still not comfortable, you can always bring a friend or two. Always happy to meet new folks! - How can I get there via TTC?
- I'm on the King streetcar line, and only about 2 blocks west of Bathurst if you take that streetcar. If you need to look it up, check out the 504 and 508 lines on http://www.ttc.ca
- Do you have parking?
- Yes, there is visitor parking under my building, but it's limited. The entrance to the garage is off of Canniff St. (my building is on the SW corner of Canniff and Stafford). Coming from Strachan, you'd turn onto Canniff, then take a right into the underground garage. From King you'd turn on Stafford, then take a right onto Canniff and a left into the garage. There's also meter parking on Canniff and a Green P lot on Wellington (just south of my building).
- Can I bring my kids?
- Sure! My party room is kid-friendly.
- Will you be serving alcohol?
- 'Fraid
not, but you're welcome to bring your own. I will, however, have munchies (chips, fruit, veggies, stuff like that), and non-alcoholic
drinks (pop, juice, etc.). - Is this a dinner thing?
- No, but I will have munchies. If you're looking for a place to eat, I'd recommend the following:
Coco Thai - King & Bathurst
Jalapeno's Mexican - King & Niagara
Bungalow Cafe - King & Strachan
Old York Grill - Wellington & Niagara
Foggy Dew Pub - King & Niagara - Is it your birthday?
- Nope, 'fraid not. My birthday has long since passed. But you can give me money and gifts if you really want. I won't mind. Really.
- Do I have to give money?
- No, this isn't an Indian wedding.
- Do I have to give money at Indian weddings?
- Ask a married Indian.
- When are you getting married?
- Mom, stop sending me this question.
- Will your mom be there?
- No, most likely not. But you never know - she did come one year.
- What about your dad?
- Doubtful - he was just here last weekend.
- Is your hair really that colour?
- Yes. Why, did you think I bleached these individually?
- Yes, I did.
- That's not a question.
- Should I bring anything?
- Just yourself - and any alcohol or diet-friendly munchies you wish.
Hope this helps! See you all there!
