Just out of curiosity, any Canadians here?

[Hyde]

It's just that I see a lot of US meet ups.  Wondering if there's enough Canadians for a Canada meet up or something similar LOL.

Otherwise I'll just have to drive 8 hours to Chicago or New York 

[kmiller8]

aren't all you Canadians hundreds of miles from each other

[Sifo]

[DanGWanG]

[Octane]

Just outside of Edmonton
Were you thinking of meeting in Alberta ? lol

EDIT: That'd be a couple thousand miles  )

[Halverson]

There are two of us in northern Ontario that I know of. Lets meet up in the middle to make everyone travel! I vote, eastern Saskatchewan.

That's like halfway across Canada though, in contrast I think it's actually closer to go to Chicago or New York LOL.  Damn it why does Canada has to be so big  >__<

[quadibloc]

Just outside of Edmonton

I live within Edmonton proper.

For purposes of comparison, think of Vancouver as San Francisco, Edmonton as Austin, Toronto as Buffalo, Oshawa as Detroit, Sudbury as Pittsburgh, Montreal as New York, and St. John's as Boston.

[SmallFry]

There are a few IBM enthusiasts that idle in the IRC that are in Toronto area, I think.

[Halverson]

Well if we do try to get together a meeting somewhere in Ontario, I'm able to drive wherever for it.

[TheQsanity]

I am sure there are a lot of Canadians here, eh?

[harrison]

I live about 45min outside of Vancouver. Vyr1s lives about 5min away from me... although he's close enough to throw a keyboard at from my desk at work

[tsangan]

Toronto meetup!!!!!

[tipo33]

I spent quite a bit of time in Toronto and Montreal after I graduated.  Love Canada - no sarcasm.  I would be willing to make the trip up, if I get enough forward notice to take time off work

[keyboardlover]

Just what are you folks talkin' aboat eh?

[Halverson]

Just what are you folks talkin' aboat eh?

Just boats and boots. In the land of hockey and beavers.

[keyboardlover]

Oh GOD I miss the NHL

Try living in Australia, you have to accentuate the 'ow' in 'about' hard. Felt goddam ridiculous!

[Redndwhite]

Wow, more Canadians than I thought. Everyone in Toronto, is your name Bob?

Calgarian here.

[bear95]

Moved to US but still Canadian.

From Calgary too!

[nar]

In Waterloo but I come back to Toronto at least once a month. I tried doing a Toronto Meetup when I had the Canadian Switch Tester, unfortunately thats exactly when GH went down.

[Internetlad]

I'm a citizen of Canada, born and raised, but emmigrated to the states when I was 20 to get married to my now-wife. We make a trip back up every 6 months when possible to see my family.

lol should do it again, if GH goes down we'll know why LOL jk.  Though it sounds like we might have enough people to do a Toronto meetup sometime in spring... mmmm........

[p.s.]

Let's do it.  I am living in Markham and willing to travel to anywhere within Ontario for the meet-up.

[Halverson]

We should start up a Toronto, Ontario meet up thread. Something in the new year.

lol yupe, now does anyone here have any experience organizing events like this?

<== newb

[Halverson]

We could rent a loft, I'll bring my friend who is a competent house music dj, and we'll party hard?

[YoungMichael88]

I'm in.  I go where Halverson goes.

[Vyr1s]

True story

Bloody stalker!!

[YoungMichael88]

Bloody stalker!!

I know where you sleep. I know how you sleep!

[Sifo]

Okay... where do you guys wanna meet up in Toronto? Crucial things are obviously where and when. We've got the who, what, why, and how figured out.

Toronto, Ontario. Any venue/location you guys have in mind? Restaurant? I'm underage so keep that in mind please...

When? A little bit after New Years sounds good.

[bear95]

CN Tower lol

[Halverson]

Hmmm what's fun in TO.
And how do people feel about a January meet up, versus waiting till spring.

[YoungMichael88]

Playdium is a good time.. Maybe too much going on there tho. Distractions.

[Halverson]

Lets do all you can eat sushi and ruin a restaurant! And I'll drink all the sake while we're at it

[Hyde]

lol you're underage and you started looking into mechanical keyboards already?  Man kids are so balling these days 

Lets do all you can eat sushi and ruin a restaurant! And I'll drink all the sake while we're at it

LOL I love sushi but should we pick somewhere with quite a bit of space in case people bring their keyboards?  As for time I'm open to either January or spring.

Though I'll have nothing fancy to show until I get my thick PBT from Lysol's group buy which is estimated early January 

Oh and Chaumeow will also come along so there would be at least some girls there.  I know they're a rare breed in keyboard world LOL.

Quite a few well educated youngins on here it seems!

Oh boy, girls! I better look my best

Yea somewhere spacious would be good. Somewhere to eat, then hang out for hours. Also where it's licensed so us older folk who love the poison can enjoy ourselves.

[Hyde]

Yeah at the moment I like the renting a loft idea.  That way we have the space and more freedom on time also.  Then just bring food or drink there or something.

Another idea that came across me is that I found out Matias is located at Newmarket (30 min north from Toronto).  I wonder if we can arrange some kind of tour there, I'll probably try to message a Matias rep and let you guys know.  Unless travel is a problem then we'll just do it in Toronto.

That would be cool! Would love a tour, had no idea they were located in Ontario!

I would have offered to take folks, was recently driving a suburban....until the transmission went. Then I downgraded to a mini cooper....went from 7 passengers to 2(or 3 very uncomfortable).

[iri]

kids should used to the good from their early age.

[p.s.]

I know they are somewhere in GTA but never thought of visiting their site.  Just google-mapped it and it seems located in a residential area and probably 30 mins drive from my place.

[Hyde]

It sounds like they're operating in the basement of someone's house last time I asked them if I can swing by to buy something locally.  So I'm not sure if they'll allow a tour but I've sent them a message and I'll see what they say.  But I'll let you guys know.

But would be cool if we can swing by and pick up some Quiet Pro lol.  They say the Tactile Pro will not be in stock until January.  So if any of you guys are interested in the Tactile Pro then we should probably plan the trip in late January after they get it in stock.

Should we start a new thread for Toronto Meetup?  Who wants to coordinate this? 

[Halverson]

I'm not located in Toronto, about 5 hours away. Would help all I can, buy prefer not to lead it.

[Hyde]

Mmmmmmmm Chaumeow says she'll help, so if no one step up later maybe I'll do it  >______>

I guess I'll wait till Matias' reply first and we'll go from there
