Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

Froshies are great fun, just walk up to a big group of suitably intoxicated young woman and inquire as to how their first day as an adult is going.

This is the best week every year for me, its just like Dazed and Confused "I keep getting older but they stay the same age"

Beer bust at the moontower tonight

PS:Track day may be a problem as the racing season starts that weekend as well. Details to follow

cam,

are you still going to head to the nanaimo-bar place on queen? sorry, forget what it's called. didn't forget about the nanaimo bars though.


edit: tango palace cafe. got it.

That was actually a yesterday post and I didn't actually get there. I may be going by tonight though. Incidentally, if you're ever visiting eyefloater and, as I do, asking him the prices of various unusual and unmarked items sheerly for the pleasure of seeing him sweat, stop at Sushi Marche across the street. Extraordinary sushi. super props as they make their own pickled ginger (no industrial red dyes in that stuff) and they do NOT stuff your sushi special with crappy arkshell and clam toes like everyone else seems to do. They were almost insulted when I asked them if they did that... Very good sushi at a pretty reasonable price.

alright, i'm making a mix tape that my friend will be forced to dance to at his stag. i need suggestions for 80-90's cheese / power ballads. go.

Mmm ... 24" of goodness. :)

I want to know what love is - Foreigner
Feel like makin' love - Bad Company (he's gotta do the pelvic thrusts in time to the chorus riff)
Fire and Ice - Pat Benatar
Wave babies - Honeymoon suite <--- just 'cause we need some more Canadian content
Follow your heart: Triumph (I'll take extra cheese with that).
I Touch Myself - Divinyls <-- How could anyone forget this classic!!!
Is This Love - Whitesnake (although I've always envied David Coverdale's hair)
When I'm With You - Sheriff (What's up with Canadian bands and power ballads?)
No one like you - Scorpions ('cause we need a bit of continental content)

That's it off the top of my head.

BOC - Don't Fear the Reaper
Talking Heads - Gangster of Love, This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody), Psycho Killer
Shatner - I can't get behind that [not 80s but GOLD]
Pet Shop Boys - Go West
Prince - Kiss or When Doves Cry or Purple Rain [he drives around toronto in the sickest purple bentley its totally ridiculous]
The Police - Roxanne
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Dire Straits - Money for nothing or Sultans of Swing

I had been wondering about that place. Thanks for being the tester Cam. I am having sushi tonite.

We get food from there a few times a week - it's incredible.

A bareknukle you say they look great, nice colour's

Anyone want to get together for dinner and/or coffee tonight? Maybe out in the West end? I have to drop my car off to get new tires out in Etobicoke after work and I'll be riding back through the Bloor West Village / High Park / Parkdale areas. Plus my gf is out of town tonight, so I'm on my own for supper and cooking for one blows. :P

edit: sweep: I got an extra ticket for American Hardcore on Sep 13 @ 9:00pm. Let me know (asap) if you definitely aren't going to be able to make it and I'll find someone else.

Edit: Sigh. I hope to be put out to pasture with the rest of the geriatric hipsters some day (re: FGG).

i have to be at school until six, what time are you passing through bloor west village? if you want to come to my neighbourhood you may be able to spot john travolta or michelle phifer (how do you spell that); thet're in a movie being filmed on the corner or roncesvalles and dundas.

For all the budding skid competition folks out there. Hows that for form?

That would be so much cooler in a superman outfit

Without clicking I knew that had to be squirrel, that guy is hands down got the best technique/form. People have claimed longer skids, but it must've been conditions, I think with all else being equal he'd win head to head against anyone.

Sam (or other people "in the know"): what's the name of the lady who served me coffee at Jet Fuel recently? Tall with curly dark shoulder-length (I think) hair. I've seen her like 5 times in various places this week.

Jeremy: I'll probably be there in the neighborhood of 6:00 or 6:30. I was thinking of at least stopping at Cherry Bomb or Alternative Grounds for some coffee.

In a nutshell: UTW is the *****.
Cons: Stabilizer strap not super stable. No clip loop for rear light. Secondary rear strap snags on saddle sometimes.

I didn't even realize they had an option for a a padded back until I read this over. The review itself could do with improvements like picture captions. I agree with teh cons but then again I don't have the Messential (going to sell my bag soon and rebuy this with a padded back).

Edit: Didn't list pros, because the entire review was pros almost - go read it.

Re: Stuff Tonight
I can drop by after my stuff gets sorted out. What time around guys?

CL Missed connections!1 Go!

okay so far i have:

<edit>

what am i missing?


you gotta get afrika bombatta in there.. PLANET ROCK!!
for more music, raid keith's playlist. oh wait, you said 80s goodness, not 70s cheese. sorry, my mistake.

But Afrika Bambaataa is neither cheesy nor embarassing. :) I saw him perform a couple years ago at PS1 in NYC. Good times!

....yes.

i'm sorry, bombaaaattaaaa and keith's cheesy music tastes were two separate points i was making. i apologize for not being clear about that. ;)

oh, and add herbie hancock's "rockit" to your list JW.

I am the MASTER of Fromage!...Oh wait...thats nothing to brag about. As you were.

Boooooooooooooooo that list gets no ratings with those two songs on there....fight the power cant be classified as cheezy! The Message is also a classic...no cheese for that one either ;)

Yeah, I'm with duppy.. for shame! :)

ps. now I have #2 stuck in my head.

Without clicking I knew that had to be squirrel, that guy is hands down got the best technique/form. People have claimed longer skids, but it must've been conditions, I think with all else being equal he'd win head to head against anyone.
I don't know if he is still around but Chris Bishop from D.C. would give him a run for the title. When we had the NACCC's in Toronto we had a pretty long skid course. At the end was a barricade to keep folk's out of traffic on Cherry Street. Not only did he go the whole length of the course but he also skidded around the barricade...thru traffic....around another barricade on the other side and just kept going. That s#!t was the bomb. It takes a certain (read nuts) type to pull that off.

That would be so much cooler in a superman outfit

I dunno, cape may get caught in chain and no longer superman

okay, maybe they're not all cheesy; i'm sort of going for a good playlist that a guy in a bad outfit can dance to. 80's cheese is just part of it.

Sam (or other people "in the know"): what's the name of the lady who served me coffee at Jet Fuel recently? Tall with curly dark shoulder-length (I think) hair. I've seen her like 5 times in various places this week.

Jeremy: I'll probably be there in the neighborhood of 6:00 or 6:30. I was thinking of at least stopping at Cherry Bomb or Alternative Grounds for some coffee.

i may still be in class around that time; give me a call when you get close to cherry bomb. do you still have me cell #?

You should include David Wilcox' "Bad Apple" beacuse its been stuck in my head since friday.

Some people call me a bad aaapple
I may be bruised - but I still taste sweet
Some people call me a bad aaaappple
But I may be the sweetest apple on the tree

i may still be in class around that time; give me a call when you get close to cherry bomb. do you still have me cell #?

6:30? Aw...
I'll be at keiths.

If it ends in 8767, then yes, I do. :)

my only question is: why?
