Thanks for the tip Soccer Dad, I'll check it out tonight...

Most of my going out experience in Toronto has always been limited to the Richmond/Adelaide area, and a couple of the summer joints on the Harbour. Looking forward to something different...

The best "unknown" Toronto singer, in my opinion, is Molly Johnson. Her old band Alta Moda had a song out in the late '80s called "Julian" that just kills me everytime I hear it.

It may be jammed but try the Madison Pub up at Bloor and Spadina. Hugely popular with U of T students.

I love the Maddy....went there last night and it was packed to the gills.

Just got back from Sunset Grille on the Beach....best breakfast in the city IMO...

Just to clarify, I don't think Heloise Williams is from Toronto. I was just adding to Buck's sentiments about having a voice of God.

Let me make sure I'm correct.

a) The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19.

b) The age of consent for females in Canada is 14.

See you in July.

(Don't shoot me over the latter, it's just a joke between myself and some members of the inaugural outing.)Maybe there's a 14-year-old streetwalker in Toronto?!?! There were lots of streetwalkers near a certain bar in Washington DC, right Moddy? Remember that outfit that one chick had on?

I'm in for Toronto.

 

Re: SportsJournalists.com Outing, Toronto, July 14-16

Count me in for Toronto, too.

So far it looks like the following from DC are in:
* Me, of course -- provided my rental car needs are served
* Moddy
* IJAG
* Sxy
* Passy (based on what he said in another thread ... I guess he's come around?)
* CradleRobber
* Hustle (hopefully)

All we need is for BYH to show up and rag on us yunguns, and we'll be all set.

Canadian question: Is Tim Horton's named after the ex-Maple Leaf of the same name? (Got Total Hockey for Christmas, so my mind is on the ice right now.)

Canadian question No. 2: Will being deported from Canada in the early 90s preclude me from attending the outing? Oh, I've been to Canada since then, but I thought JR, Halfmiler, et al, might have some moral turpitude objections.

Canadian question No. 3: I need a new favorite hockey team, since previous faves the Whalers and Nordiques are long gone. Which Canadian team should I adopt? Hate to say it, but right now, I'm leaning towards the Habs because Montreal is an unbelievable city, or, should I wait for the Penguins to move to Winnipeg to possibly revive the Jets? Or, should I wait for the Canucks to realize the error of their bland, blue-uniform ways and return to their yellow-and-black jersey roots (sorry I'm American, I can't call them sweaters)?

Mr Bubbler,

See Keith Richard.

I say open the border and commence your community service.

YHS, etc

I strongly suggest the Oilers. Certain to break your heart but at least they do it in an entertaining way.
